Celebrities Set to Face Drenched Challenges on I’m A Celebrity 2024 as Torrential Rains Hit Australia’s Gold Coast, Causing Major Disruptions

This year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is facing major disruptions due to extreme weather conditions.

Storms and torrential rain are wreaking havoc on the production, and insiders are raising concerns that the weather might ruin the entire series.

The unpredictable climate on Australia’s Gold Coast is testing the limits of the show’s outdoor challenges and camp setup.

Celebrities Facing Severe Weather

Stars like Coleen Rooney and TikTok sensation GK Barry are bracing for relentless storms that are expected to continue.

With thunderstorms forecasted throughout the week, show producers are worried about the impact on both the contestants and the production schedule.

A source close to the show shared, “If the celebrities were in there right now, they would be drowning. The jungle camp just can’t handle this level of rain.”

According to the source, persistent downpours not only create safety concerns but also harm the atmosphere on set.

“When it rains this much, the mood really takes a hit, and the fun is completely drained out of the experience. It could completely spoil the show.”

Impact on Flights and Challenges

The severe weather has already caused travel disruptions.

McFly’s Danny Jones and reigning King of the Jungle Sam Thompson faced delays as their flight had to circle Brisbane Airport for an hour due to a flooded runway.

Further flights were diverted to Sydney, as Brisbane’s severe rainfall continues to affect air travel.

The ongoing weather problems are expected to disrupt the scheduled challenges for the celebrities, adding more complications for the production team.

A History of Evacuations and Show Cancellations

If conditions worsen, an evacuation may become necessary.

This wouldn’t be the first time extreme weather has forced such a move.

In 2019, during Jacqueline Jossa’s win, the camp had to be evacuated due to torrential rain.

Similarly, in 2015, storms knocked out the camp’s power, leading to further evacuations.

If the rain continues, producers might have to pull the plug on some of the upcoming shows to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Coleen Rooney’s Journey to Australia

As the weather chaos continues, Coleen Rooney, one of the show’s biggest stars, began her long journey to Australia this week.

The WAG, 38, was spotted at the airport ahead of her £1.5 million appearance on I’m A Celebrity.

Coleen, who made headlines during the “Wagatha Christie” legal battle, looked chic in a loose-fitting black blazer with a white pattern and matching trousers by Toteme.

To keep her family close, she wore a gold necklace engraved with the names of her four sons – Kai, Kit, Klay, and Cass.
