A former campmate has revealed some of the unknown rules stars must follow on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, including a ban on knowing the time. Royal commentator Jennie Bond, who appeared on the show in 2004, shared insights into the strict regulations imposed by ITV.
Jennie, 72, finished third in the third series, missing out on the crown to Kerry Katona. She explained that celebrities often volunteer for Bushtucker Trials just to escape the boredom of camp. 'You get woken up by some loud speaker at some unearthly hour. And then you've got hours and hours and hours and hours to do nothing,' she told The Sun.
Producers also teach campers essential jungle skills, like starting a fire, but keep them in the dark about the time. Jennie described the show as 'the most real reality TV show,' unlike her former campmate Kerry, who said the show 'brings back some bad feelings' after her marriage ended soon after winning.
Another alumni, Janet Street-Porter, compared the experience to 'being in a hostage situation' on Loose Women, noting that celebrities are forced to bond around the fire and are marched back to camp if they wander off.
