I’M A Celebrity’s former campmate Nicola McLean has opened up on her major jungle gripe.
The former glamour model, 41, who starred in the 2008 series, raged about the potential for a handful of the ITV cast getting medical exemptions from certain trials.
This has already cropped up days into I’m A Celebrity‘s new series, with Sue Cleaver, Boy George and Mike Tindall were all spared the next Bushtucker trial.
It came amid suggestions politician Matt Hancock – who will enter camp today – will also be exempt from water-based trials after contracting trenchfoot during his stint on Celeb SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Instead, Babatunde will tonight be forced to tackle the next trial.
Talking of challenge rules, Nicola took to her Instagram Stories to bemoan the get-out clauses.
She ranted: “That’s another thing that annoys me – a few people in my year, who I love, don’t get me wrong, were exempt.
“And it’s like if you can’t go in and do everything you shouldn’t really be in there, do you see what I mean?
“Aright, one or two maybe things but not really, because you could wangle it so you were exempt from some things you really didn’t like.”
Previously, Nicola opened up on the racy trick she used to smuggle contraband into the jungle.
Despite telly bosses only allowing one luxury item per person in the camp, Nicola found another sneaky way.
The former glamour model would use her bra to sneak in the contraband.
She explained: “You were allowed one [luxury item]. I took my waterproof mascara but I also hid concealer and an eyebrow pencil in my bra.”
Nicola cheekily added: “Because let’s be honest, they’re weren’t gonna be able to find anything in there – I could probably take my whole makeup bag.”
On the show, no two people are allowed to ask for the same thing, which means they’ll be battling to lay claim to the most popular items.
They are allowed to win one item of their choosing during tasks.
Meanwhile, items that would stop the stars from socialising in camp are banned.
