The jungle site which ITV plans to use for the new series of I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! has been hit by a poison scare.
Dungay Creek in New South Wales, which runs through the stars' jungle camp, has been contaminated by a toxic insecticide. Department of Environment and Climate Change officials have warned locals to stay away from the water and banned fishing and swimming.
A source told the Daily Star Sunday: "It's a nightmare. No one saw this kind of problem coming our way."
An ITV spokeswoman said: "Dungay Creek runs through the land where I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here! is filmed. Investigations are still ongoing. The show will be going ahead as planned. We cannot comment further until the outcome of these investigations is available."
The reality show returns to screens next month.
