I'm a Celeb camp at risk of 'washout' amid warnings of 170mph storm

There's not too long to go until I'm a Celeb 2017 kicks off.

But with just over two weeks to go until kick off, the series is reportedly already at risk.

The reality TV show is due to return to the small screen on November 19, two weeks later than usual.

But that could now be left in jeopardy, with reports that the camp could be hit by 170mph cyclones around the same time.

According to the Daily Star, forecasters have warned that "Australia will be hit by a string of major storms" around the date of the launch.

 

AccuWeather's Jason Nicholls said:

"An early start to the season is expected with a named cyclone forming before the end of December."

This could mean that the camp is at the risk of a washout - which definitely doesn't sound promising.

Show bosses are said to be hoping that the camp doesn't get destroyed by the extreme weather, and are concerned that the start date may need to get pushed back.

This year's series of I'm A Celeb has been  kept mostly under wraps, with the start date only being recently revealed.

The folks at Metro confirmed the news on Friday afternoon, and it turns out it's not too far away.

Fans will be able to get their daily dose of jungle drama beginning Sunday, November 19.

There's been no official word yet on who will be heading into the jungle this year, or if Ant will be back for the new series.
