I'm A Celeb launch in weather threat as forecast predicts camp will be lashed by storms

The stars of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! are set for a miserable first night in the jungle as the camp is set to be lashed by storms.

The ITV show launches on November 17, with famous faces including Caitlyn Jenner and Ian Wright set to be dropped into the jungle.

However, the weather for launch night is not looking good as local forecasters have predicted the area where the show is based is in for heavy rain and thunder storms.

The morning will start off cloudy before wind and rain set in, with storms predicted for during the afternoon and throughout the night.

One Aussie forecaster stated: "A couple of thunderstorms around in the afternoon... [at night there will be] periods of rain and a thunderstorm."

However, with less than 10 days ago there's still time for the weather to change and we expect the stars are all keeping their fingers crossed that they won't get drenched on their first day.

The weather in the jungle is usually hit and miss, with the camp regularly subjected to downpours.

The hosts often find themselves having to take shelter while the stars in the camp are left in the open to get soaked.

But while they might get a bit wet, they are still going to be uncomfortably warm as temperatures soar into the high 20s with stifling humidity.

I'm A Celeb returns to TV on November 17 and fans can expect a stellar line-up.

Rumoured camp mates currently include US sports star-turned-reality TV regular Caitlyn Jenner and former Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle.

Also said to be in the mix is ex-EastEnders actress Jaqueline Jossa and telly star Kate Garraway.

Who is going to be on I'm A Celeb this year? Here are the rumoured contestants

X Factor's Myles Stephenson, Corrie's Andrew Whyment and radio presenter Roman Kemp are all believed to be dusting off their hiking boots and jungle hats.

This year's series will see the return of Ant McPartlin, who took last year off to deal with his personal problems in the aftermath of his drink-driving conviction.

He was replaced by Holly Willoughby, who has stood aside to allow Ant to retake his place alongside presenting partner Declan Donnelly.
