STARTING WITH A SPLASH

I’m A Celeb stars plunge off boat into sea fully dressed as filming begins in Australia

THE I'm A Celebrity stars were thrown into the deep end yesterday as they took on their first challenge at Surfers Paradise in Australia.

Ahead of entering the jungle, the famous faces were put through their paces in a swimming challenge which saw them leap off a boat into the sea fully clothed.

It appears the camp have already been split into two teams after filming pictures from yesterday revealed the starter challenge.

Celebrities including Ian Wright, Kate Garraway, Myles Stephenson, James Haskell and Nadine Coyle were pictured on a boat, while hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly yelled at them through a megaphone on the beach.

In one snap, the five stars are lined up on the boat as the challenge kicks off.

Kate Garraway, 52, who wore her hair in pigtails, appeared out of breath as she paddled through the water.

Match Of The Day commentator Ian Wright, 51, looked confident in the water, despite being fully clothed.

Meanwhile, rugby ace James Haskell, 34, and Rak Su singer Myles Stephenson, 28, gave it their all as they were spotted sprinting to shore.

And Nadine Coyle, 34, who was pictured gracefully diving into the sea, appeared determined as she made her way out of the water.

As the celebs splashed around, Ant, 43, and Dec, 44, barked instructions from the shore.

The celebs looked completely different to their glamorous appearances earlier that day.

This year's contestants posed for luxurious promo shots as they arrived in supercars and fancy speedboats.

The mode of transport appeared to hint at who was in which team, with just five of the stars pictured together as they met for the first time.

ITV's big-name signing Caitlyn Jenner was spotted staying dry as she waited on the shore.

She was joined by Andrew Maxwell, Adele Roberts, Jacqueline Jossa, Roman Kemp, in what looks like will be the other team.

They appeared to be cheering their fellow campmates on but it doesn't seem like they'll be escaping lightly - as Roman and Jacqueline were later pictured with their head in their hands.

Let the games begin!
