Fatima Whitbread and her close friend Carol Vorderman have stated that they saw each other naked in camp while filming I’m A Celeb in South Africa.
Carol Vorderman and Fatima Whitbread admit to seeing each other naked in South Africa
The couple appeared on Friday’s episode of This Morning to promote the upcoming All Star reality program.
Fatima elaborated: ‘This is part of character building this whole process. It brings out the best and worst in you. You see each other literally naked, it is stripped to the bone.’
Dermot then claimed that they had a tape to show ITV viewers, prompting Alison to joke: ‘Hopefully not naked!’
Teasing the new series, Fatima said: ‘We have head to heads, so people can get knocked out before their time. The challenges are much tougher than Australia.
‘The producers thought well they’ve done that before so make it harder. It is physically and mentally challenging’
Carol added: ‘It is brutal, Fatima is hardcore’
Alison then asked if there were any fights or drama in camp, to which Fatima said, ‘It was a bit like a soap opera, there was a bit of everything.’
Excited I’m A Celeb South Africa watchers got their first peek at the new series on Wednesday, when they saw the competitors arrive in camp.
Janice Dickinson and Fatima Whitbread wore their Jungle uniforms in bright red matching T-shirts as they got to know their very basic camp.
Janice, 68, appeared poised for action as she sat at a wooden table with her water bottle nearby in scenes slated to show on Monday.
She was dressed differently in camp than when she landed in South Africa, wearing a gorgeous blue shirt and silk trousers.
Fatima, 62, a retired javelin thrower, adjusted into life in camp as she sat on one of the beds, beaming from ear to ear.
She afterwards changed into a beige jacket and chatted with the celebrities she will be spending the next three weeks with.
It comes as the I’m A Celebrity… South Africa – The Podcast, the first official I’m A Celebrity podcast, is set to debut next week.
Every weeknight immediately following each episode, Queen of the Jungle Scarlett Moffatt and comedian and 2022 campmate Seann Walsh will have all the gossip and exclusive interviews with our campmates.
You can listen to the show on Global Player or wherever you get your podcasts, and you can view it on the I’m A Celebrity YouTube account.
Seann said: ‘I had the most amazing experience doing I’m A Celebrity last year so I can’t wait to get back into the Jungle world with the first ever I’m A Celeb podcast.
‘Scarlett and I will be discussing everything, no subjects are off limits and this time, I get to sleep in my own bed! I cannot wait!’
Scarlett added: ‘I’m so excited to be hosting the first ever I’m A Celebrity Podcast with Seann – we both love a giggle and a natter so I can’t wait to get stuck in watching episodes of I’m A Celebrity…South Africa.
‘It’s amazing to see some of our favourite campmates from over the years, including my Jungle family Carol and Jordan who are going back into camp….who will be crowned ‘I’m A Celebrity Legend’? I can’t wait!!’
Fans got their first sight at the Kruger National Park camp on Wednesday.
