Twelve years on, fans are counting down to the I'm A Celebrity... All Stars spin-off show with legends set to return.

Now on her hilarious podcast, , series ten contestant Jenny has lifted the lid on what really goes on inside the world famous camp to her co-host Judith Holder.

Jenny said: "It was so cold and rainy that I think I had one shower in the three weeks I was there.

"The whole camp honestly was disgusting, it really stank to high heaven.

"There was fresh water, well I think there was fresh water, but let's face it all the walls that look like cave walls, it's polystyrene.

"You can hear cameramen on the other side eating crisps."

ITV confirmed I'm A Celebrity will return to Australia in November for the 2022 series.

It comes after being filmed in Wales for the past two years due to travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The cave walls Jenny was referring to are sometimes used during the Bushtucker Trials or group tasks outside of camp.

Meanwhile, the reality show is is well-known for its shower scenes ever since stars including Myleene Klass and Helen Skelton set pulses racing.

The stunning celebs were filmed going for a wash in their bikinis - and it soon became a show highlight.

But Jenny joked the cameramen would take a break when it was her turn to go for a dip after stripping down to her undies.

"So they rig up some kind of shower and of course all they want is the young girls to go in the shower," said Jenny.

"That's all they're waiting for.

"You can almost hear them say 'oh s***' when me and somebody else who is big.. they didn't want us.

"They went off for a coffee break when I showered.

"I used to really quite enjoy pulling my pants down and exposing my flabby derriere because I thought, 'they're not going to show this'."

In May 2022, Ant and Dec confirmed they would be doing an All Stars spin-off of I'm A Celebrity.

It will be filmed in Kruger National Park, South Africa where, ironically, the Aussie version of the show is shot.
