Jacqueline Jossa finally has shower on I'm A Celeb after 'fear of being filmed'

The I’m A Celebrity camp will be smelling a little bit fresher now that Jacqueline Jossa has finally had a shower.

The 27-year-old former EastEnders actress took the plunge and showered under the long running reality show’s famous waterfall after being in the jungle for almost two weeks.

Stripping to a black and white bikini, mum-of-two Jac freshened up as Girls Aloud star Nadine Coyle also prepared to get clean while wearing a pink bikini.

Sources have said that the ladies of the 2019 I’m A Celeb contest have been reluctant to shower due to cameras being positioned to show the shower scenes.

“They are trying to wash discreetly, away from the spotlight and several have spoken about having confidence issues,” a show source previously told The Sun.

“It doesn’t look like there will be many of those scenes the whole series, although they might have to give in in the end to get a proper wash,” they added.

Fellow contestant and Good Morning Britain star Kate Garraway previously said stripping to a bikini in the jungle was her biggest fear.

“I am very nervous about that because I've got an ordinary body. I've not got a celebrity body. That's the problem, I've not got a celebrity body,” the 52-year-old told The Mirror before she arrived in the jungle.

“I'm taking in a skimpy bikini and I'm going to see if the experience of being in the jungle is enough to make me let go of that fear, and by the end of it I actually put that bikini on,” she revealed.

Meanwhile show hosts Ant and Dec have already commented that this years’ contestants have been some of the stinkiest on record.

Ant blamed the new rules of the camp for the increased stench of BO, telling Extra Camp: “The difference this year is that we have the gas stoves in there, no smoke. They don't stink as much.”

While former contestant-turned-extra-camp-host Joel Dommett concurred, saying: “They smell of B.O. instead because they are all smelling themselves and they stink but you don't normally smell yourself because you have the fire on the whole time.”

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight on ITV at 9:10pm .
