The celebrities in the jungle could be at risk of a ‘severe thunderstorm’ as the Australian Government’s Bureau issued the warning.

A spokesman said: "Severe thunderstorms are likely to produce large hailstones and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding and damaging winds in the warning area over the next several hours."

The show’s bosses could be forced to move the celebrities if torrential rain hits the camp as there is nowhere to shelter on Croc Creek.

A contingency plan by I’m A Celebrity would see the celebrities first moved to higher ground, as they are currently in a valley.

If camp then becomes too dangerous, and crew are unable to film, they would be evacuated.

According to reports if the storm continues over night broadcasting could be interrupted if the show's two satellites receive any damage.

By 5pm Australian time, 7am in the UK on Friday, the storm was already having impact on the region.

In the rainforest area of Mount Glorious, a two-hour drive from the jungle camp, there was 97mm of rainfall recorded in just an hour from 3.15-4.15pm.
