Kate Garraway and Jacqueline Jossa invent genius knickers-on-head insect defence

Kate Garraway and Jacqueline Jossa went to extreme lengths to protect their hair from insects after being dumped into the rough Snake Rock camp on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The ladies were lumbered with a life without luxury alongside fellow contestants reality star Caitlyn Jenner, rugby legend James Haskell, comedian Andrew Maxwell, and football pundit Ian Wright after missing out on the chance to win a spot in the main camp.

The celebrities were shown to their new home in the Australian outback and were horrified to see they had no beds waiting for them.

Faced with a night of sleeping rough on the jungle floor, Kate and Jac found a novel use for their underwear - using it as a hair nets to ensure they wouldn’t have insects nesting in their locks.

Kate took on a stiff upper lip as she faced a ninth of sleeping rough and having to endure basic rations alongside her fellow campmates.

"At the moment, there's a really good team spirit and everyone is very much together,” she insisted.

“We're a proper team. The Rough Camp team,” she added.

Meanwhile, follow contestants Capital FM DJ Roman Kemp and Rak Su singer Myles Stephenson, and Girls Aloud babe Nadine Coyle and Radio 1 DJ Adele Roberts earlier became the power pairs - meaning they were treated to living in the normal camp with beds and an abundance of food.

A food sack was delivered to the camp, with Roman commenting: "I've seen this moment on the telly for many years and I had to make sure I was the one to stand up and receive the bag."

The ingredients included Kangaroo shanks, kumara, bitter melons, Tokyo turnips and yellow pitaya for dessert.

"There's no better way to test your cooking skills when you're in the Jungle with meat or vegetables that you've never really cooked before,” Myles stated.

"Winner winner, kangaroo dinner. My tummy is so happy right now. If you could hear it, its singing. It would just sound beautiful" Adele declared after enjoying the first meal in the wild.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs on ITV every night of the week.
