I’m A Celebrity’s Jessica Plummer showered naked to avoid 'Myleene moment'

Jessica Plummer wanted to avoid being caught in the shower like Myleene Klass on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! so decided to be naked in the bathroom.

The 28-year-old EastEnders actress came up with a plan to stop the TV cameras filming her in the shower by making her washing not suitable for family viewing.

The idea seemed to work a treat as well because Jessica didn't have a 'Myleene moment' which will be replayed endlessly on social media.

Speaking after her eviction from the ITV show and leaving the camp in Gwrych Castle, Jessica also said there was a practical reason for stripping off despite it being cold winter days.

Jessica told The Sun : "Just get naked and have your shower and don’t worry, they cannot show it."

She added that it was a cold environment in the castle so where a swimming costume in the shower, with it "clinging on to you, it makes you feel colder."

Thinking about how to make sure she was washed and clean, Jessica said: "I was like, ‘Sod this, they’re not going to put my naked bottom on the show, I’m just going to take it all off’".

She said that it was "perfect, every time" she used the facilities as the cameras "just went ‘zoom’ and they then turned away."

This meant that the I'm A Celeb producers had no footage that could be shared and there were no shower moments, apart from the likes of Vernon Kay and Jordan North lathering up.

Jessica also made it hard for her to be filmed in the shower by not having very many during her time in the castle.

During her 18 day stay on the show, Jess admitted that she only showered six times during that time.

She said: “I had six showers. I’m disgusting! You’re just so cold you don’t want to take off your clothes, you just cannot be bothered.”

With the temperatures plummeting in North Wales, Jess said that many just stayed in their thermals rather than risk Jack Frost nipping at their extremities in the bathroom.

This led to a particularly pungent camp as she shared: "The camp was very pongy. The bathroom smelt like fish guts. It smelt like offal, the offcuts of meat."

After leaving the camp, Jess had a long soak in the bath to wash away the smells of her stay in the castle.

She responded to claims that the camp had been centrally heated as the likes of Vernon and AJ Pritchard walking around in t-shirts.

Jess revealed: "We’re in Wales, we’re not in Australia, it’s not 30 degrees. We are freezing cold the whole time.

“All of us had thermals. I wore three pairs of socks at one point. I asked for boots that were two sizes bigger so that I could fit in."
