ITV bosses of the show are making sure this year’s programme is better than ever as it has included ‘more creatures’ in the Australian camp which will kick start drama

I’m A Celebrity..Get Me Out Of Here has been known for its unsightly Bushtucker Trials and campsite woes.

And this series appears to be no different, as there seems to be more nasties and creepy crawlies in the New south Wales celebrity camp. The creepies include flesh-eating leeches and giant earthworms, which reportedly rise out of out of the earth in heavy rain.

The stars heeding into the jungle include a WAG, a sportsman and a social media star. Grace Keeling, also known as GK Barry, agreed to join the ITV show after a chat with Ant and Dec. After fans begged her to take part in the ITV programme, she told the presenting duo: “Listen, if there’s pound signs involved – absolutely!”

Amid the announcement of her landing the coveted ITV show, Grace has faced backlash after she interviewed OnlyFans and adult content creator, Bonnie Blue. Fans criticised the podcast interview for making “harmful” comments. Bonnie is famed for sleeping with a host of university students during Fresher’s Week and for also glorifying sleeping with a father and son at the same time.

Since she was flooded by negative comments, Grace and her team deleted the promotional clips of the interview ahead of her stint on the show. According to The Sun, ITV bosses now have concerns. A source told the publication: “I’m A Celeb is a family show and they can’t have anyone on there who agrees with sleeping with barely 18 years olds. The top brass have held crisis talks as to how they handle the backlash with GK enters the show.”

The source added: “The backlash is already huge on YouTube and social media this is an absolute PR nightmare for ITV. They rely on advertisers wanting to spend money on the show and it’s not a good look when one of the campmates has had someone so controversial on her podcast and agreed with everything she said.”

In an exclusive interview with the Mirror ahead of entering the jungle later this month, Grace said: “I hate bugs. I hate sleeping outside. I’ve never done it. And so I think that would be a lot. But I feel like it would also probably be good viewing for other people.” Grace will be joining Coleen Rooney, former Strictly star Oti Mabuse, former boxing champion Barry McQuigan and Tulisa. Love Island star Maura Higgins is also rumoured to be joining the show.
