Shona was also seen, sporting a colourful jumpsuit while Eddie was wearing a blue t-shirt and beige pants.
The choppers were spotted on the sand at Evans Head in New South Wales, .
The foursome were led over to a helicopter each before being flown high up into the air ahead of their terrifying jump.
The group looked delighted to see each other once they all hit the ground – and they were watched over by hosts and from what appeared to be a castle.
One onlooker said: “When the celebs landed, they all ran around and hugged each other.
“At one point, they did some kind of strange dance together.
“When they spotted , they were all lined up and started waving at them.
“They were all smiling and looked really happy – but that will no doubt change once they start having to take part in some grim Bushtucker Trials.”
Prior to heading out to Australia, Kelly actually revealed her phobia of heights.
She explained: “I’m really petrified of heights.
“As you get older, you are more aware of what can go wrong. When you are younger, you are like Teflon!”
She’s not the only one as Martin also admitted he’s scared of heights, among other things.

ITV bosses are planning on making this year’s show – the 25th series – the most competitive one yet .
They have introduced a “two in a row and you miss a go” rule which means that celebs can only be voted to do a Bushtucker Trial twice in a row.
They will then be exempt from the next vote – but after that, viewers will be able to choose them once again.
The move has been brought in to stop the public “ganging up” on celebs after some were targeted repeatedly by brutal viewers on previous series.
Last year, Radio 1 DJ did six trials in a row – as did former Tory MP during his jungle stint in 2022.
Also heading into the jungle this year are rapper Aitch, presenter and TV legend Ruby Wax.
