I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! is in full swing with ten famous faces taking on the gruelling Australian jungle.
The ITV show’s first week has already entertained fans with the likes of WAG Coleen Rooney, N-Dubz singer Tulisa and sensation GK Barry on its lineup.
However, two new campers have entered the jungle and they didn’t get the welcome they expected.
In tonight’s episode, Love Island star Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles were dumped into the rundown Jungle Junkyard but an unexpected twist revealed that it was kitted with hidden luxuries.
As the stars entered the jungle, complaining about their dingy living situation, Ant and Dec beamed in on the intercom and told them “All is not what it seems.”

The duo then looked closer at their surroundings and realised that the junkyard had a luxurious double bed, a hidden large sofa, a large bathtub with bubbles, bath salts and hot water, a gas cooker and a hidden fridge door stocked with fruit smoothies and a fruit platter.
The hosts finally laid the law for the junkyard. Over the next few days, Maura and Richard must keep their living situation a secret and successfully convince their fellow campmates that they are living in squalor.
If they accomplish the missions, they will win food at the Jungle Junkyard buffet.
Thrilled by the secret challenge, Maura replied: “I’m a great liar” while Richard quipped: “I’m gonna learn fast.”

In true I’m A Celeb fashion, the first challenge came straight away. The new campers had to swindle the main camp into sacrificing one of their beds, in order to win three portions of food.
GK and Coleen were the first victims as they were tasked with bringing dirty dishes to the junkyard for Maura and Richard to clean up.
The late arrivals committed to their roles and showed GK and Coleen around the junkyard, pretending that they were having a terrible time.
Their crocodile tears paid off as the main campers reported back to the other celebrities that the junkyard is “like a jail” and Dean later agreed to sacrifice his bed for the newcomers.
The duo have kicked off to a victorious start, but will they claim the ultimate crown?
Despite entering as a late arrival, Maura is already one of the favourites to win, with Grosvenor Sport putting her odds at 7/4.
Simon Kew, spokesperson for Grosvenor Sport said: “In 2019, Higgins made a splashy late entry on Love Island and looks to shake things up again as a last-minute bombshell addition to the jungle!”
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns tomorrow at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
