I'm A Celebrity has only been on our screens for less than a week and there is already drama.
According to reports, the camp is under attack and two celebrities have fallen victim.
Fans of the show have seen the celebrities facing torrential rain in camp which means there are many blood-sucking leeches around. Sam Thompson and Nick Pickard have both fallen victim to the unpleasant critters that were brought into the camp after the downpour, writes The Mirror.
Weather storms hit the camp last week alongside high temperatures, making the camp the ideal home for a swarm of leeches. A source said: “Sam had a leech attach itself to his foot and Nick had one on his hand - the rain has brought them all out.
"Production has told the celebs to take extra care and be vigilant. Whilst leeches fall off naturally once they’ve drunk their fill, if the celebs are feeling weak, tired and hungry anyway it’s far from ideal."
"There’s also the risk that the leeches’ entry site can become infected so it’s a big issue," a source told The Sun.
The leech invasion comes after several snakes had to be removed by experts after I'm A Celebrity health and safety officer Jeremy Douglas confirmed that the recent weather had led to more of the creatures in camp than usual.
He said: “We have had a lot of snakes on the site this year, possibly because it has been so humid. We have had pythons, and non-venomous and venomous species.
“You get small eyed snakes and brown tree snakes predominantly.” Executive producer Laura Woolf added: “We've had 15 snake sightings across the site and then we've had to identify some venomous ones in camp.
“It gets worse when the celebs come in because they leave food everywhere. It's like they don't realise they're living
