Oh no!

There’s going to be a rumble in the jungle.

With just weeks to go until the new season premieres, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has faced a huge setback.

There are growing fears that production of the new season of I’m A Celeb could face some major disruption thanks to a weather warning that is coming into effect in the coming days.

According to meteorologists, the New South Wales area of Australia will ensure some ‘inhospitable conditions’ over the next week, with increasingly high winds and dangerous UV levels.

This weekend will see the worst of the weather, with the celebrity campmates due to start arriving in camp during high-risk winds.

Despite fears it mightn’t happen, both Ant and Dec are reported to be returning to their hosting duties after Ant finished his stay in rehab for addiction to painkillers.

The spinoff show Extra Camp is also set to return with a few new faces joining the couch.

Joe Swash returns for his eight-year presenting the after show and will be joined by last year’s top two – Joel Dommett and Scarlett Moffatt.

The show is due to return to our screens on November 19, so here’s hoping it does.
