Im A Celeb bosses forced to cancel Dingo Dollar challenge tonight as storm causes chaos
A show source told the Mirror: The camp has been very dry this year up until now but the last 48 hours has been rain filled.
“It’s the first time for years and years that anyone can remember a challenge being cancelled.”
Declan Donnelly opened tonight’s episode, telling viewers “the storm clouds are gathering”.
He told viewers what they could expect from the episode, saying: “A storm hits camp bringing thunderball and lightening”
The campers woke up to a wet and grey morning, but Caitlyn Jenner and Andy Whyment were dry and warm in the leaders’ hut.
Andy remarked: “The rain didn’t stop all night and I was quite lucky because I was in the penthouse.”
Jacqueline Jossa was spotted peeking out from under her rain cover, and later told viewers in the Bush Telegraph: “My hammock was soaking wet so James gave me his bed which I felt terrible about.”
It comes after James Haskell faced a fan backlash on Saturday during the Dingo Dollar challenger, after he said he was “too intelligent and switched on” to debate the question – insisting it should be answered with a show of hands instead.
The star kicked off after dithering broke out in camp over the answer to a simple A or B question in last night’s Dingo Dollar Challenge.
He sulked: “It irritates the p*** out of me because its that simple. Explain the question, answer the question A or B.
“Its a circus of stupidity. I cant do it, Im too intelligent and too switched on. Just put your hands right up, let someone count them, right, the majority win, shut up and lets move on.
“Im not going to kill my brain cells doing that. Its like someone is sticking a screwdriver in my eye.”
He then mistakenly added that he was going to “sit back and watch everything umplode”.
The rant even earned criticism from I’m A Celebrity spin-off host Emily Atack, who said on Extra Camp that it had made her “angry”.
