Australian bush fires force big change on I'm A Celebrity this year

The stars were split straight away this year, with them forced . The winners got to experience relative luxury in the main camp, while across in the 'rough camp' in Snake Rock, the others were forced to survive on basic rations and sleep on the floor.

One thing both I'm A Celebrity camps have in common is to do with a big change in the cooking. Ant & Dec revealed that due to the bush fires, the camp fire, a huge tradition on the show, wasn't in either camp and instead the celebs have to use gas cookers to make their meals.

At the end of Sunday night's show it was revealed that Caitlyn Jenner and Kate Garraway would face the first Bushtucker Trial, following a public vote.

Talking about the hardship in the rough camp, Kate said "At the moment, there's a really good team spirit and everyone is very much together. We're a proper team. The Rough Camp team."
