It comes after giant hailstones plummeted parts of New South Wales earlier this week as a weather warning was put in place.

An source said: “The celebrities were already nervous ahead of their first night in camp and this storm was not on their agenda.

“The jungle can be spooky at the best of times and the campmates would have been terrified to hear the thunder and lightning while camping.”

Some of the campmates have now entered the jungle ahead of the launch show on ITV1 and ITVX tomorrow.

The Australian Government warned that the weather was set to worsen on Monday.

A forecast read: “Thunderstorms possibly severe with destructive winds, large hail and heavy rain which may lead to flash flooding in the afternoon and evening.”

Yesterday conquered his fear of heights after

The former and Man United striker, 41, beamed as he landed with a parachute on the beach at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast of Australia.

Wayne was joined by former Paralympic player, 53, who joined him on the beach after also jumping out of a helicopter.

Ade was later seen using an all-terrain power chair on the beach which he has previously spoken about on social media.

Meanwhile star Mariella Frostrup, 64, comedian Jack Skinner, 38, Chloe Burrows, 31, and AJ Odudu, 38, were seen greeting each other on the beach in front of huge beach buggies.

Monday’s launch show will see the celebrities split into two teams as they start their journey into the camp located in New South Wales.

The Sun previously revealed that some of the celebrities will skydive while the rest of the stars will use beach buggies to meet their fellow celebrities for the first time.

Wayne revealed that he was most scared of heights ahead of entering the camp Down Under.

He said: “My biggest fear is probably to stand on the edge of a plane and jump out, that’s terrifying.”

I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here starts on Monday, November 16 at 9pm on ITV.
