Are you bugging out yet? I'm A Celebrity contestants set to be greeted by creepy crawlies and venomous snakes after heatwave causes jungle infestation

However, this year's dazzling crop of contestants should start preparing for even more horrendous conditions than ever before as they prepare to enter the jungle this Sunday.
After an unforeseen heatwave, the Australian camp has reportedly been plagued with giant bugs, including ticks, funnel web spiders and, worst of all, poisonous snakes.

He told the Sun: 'It's our biggest year for snakes. They are all mating at the moment.'
Concerning the problem of micro ticks, the 64-year-old added: 'The swelling they cause is as big as an apple. Most end up in the groin.'

Apparently the celebrities have all been pre-warned that there is a high chance many will get bitten by the ticks.
This has, of course, worried some of the contestants, especially Nadia Forde, 25.

She said: 'I asked the producers if a helicopter brings a pizza in the middle of the night to everyone, but they said definitely not...but I thought they sneakily did!'
