And things were going so well...

The Im A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! camp is alledgedly on 'lockdown'after EIGHT deadly funnel web spiders have been spotted in and around the camp, according to the Daily Mirror.

The Funnel Web spiders (ergh) are able to kill a human with it's lethal bite in just 15 minutes.

Now with the rainy and humid weather already making it's way into camp, there are fears that even more could emerge.

Medic Bob McCarron, who organises the trials, told The Mirror: "In Australia we have the world’s most dangerous spider which is the funnel web.

"The funnel web’s are the most dangerous spider in the world. There is an anti-venom and of course none of the celebs have ever been bitten by them - a couple of crew have been bitten in the past.

"In fact this year in one of the camera hides we found eight. That’s the most we’ve ever found in one day."

The spiders are definitely not the only deadly animal that has made it's way near our beloved jungle celebrities as show bosses found a couple of Australia’s most venomous brownsnakes near a helipad entry and exit area.

And on the deadly brown snake, he added: "Normally we don’t get these - we haven’t had one for 15 years. They prefer open paddocks.

"And ours is a rainforest. Well last week we found one in the top helipad. They are very vicious snakes."

And we thought the Tomb Of Terror, that saw Scarlett Moffatt, Jordan Banjo, Sam Quek and Ola Jordan covered with 120,000 critters, was frightening enough.

Jeeeeeez.

Rather them than us. Stay safe folks.

Annoyingly, we're going to have to wait a WHOLE EXTRA DAY for the next installment from the jungle because of the footy tonight. Humph.
