The future of ITV reality TV show, I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here, has been thrown into chaos by a poison scare.
It is just three weeks before the show kicks off and bosses have discovered that the area they had earmarked for jungle camp has been contaminated by a toxic insecticide.
Officials from the Department of Environment and Climate Change carried out tests and found the area had been mysteriously polluted.
Boss Laurence Orel said: “We’re still investigating the case. When we work out the cause we’ll be able to look at ways to rehabilitate the area.
“But at this stage we’re advising people not to draw water out of the creek or eat any fish caught there.”
A source on the show told the Daily Star Sunday: “It’s a nightmare. No one saw this kind of problem coming our way.”
A spokesman for the local Tweed Shire Council said: “This was done by a private contractor on private property.”
Last night an ITV spokeswoman said: “Dungay Creek runs through the land where I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is filmed.
“Investigations are ongoing. The show will be going ahead as planned.
“We cannot comment further until the outcome of these investigations is available.”
