Show bosses have admitted the famous jungle shower on I’m A Celebrity is no longer a huge part of the show.

It was responsible for Myleene Klass’ iconic white bikini moment but for the upcoming series most contestants have told the show they won’t be flashing the flesh and T ulisa Contostavlos even said she will wear black swimwear to “not draw attention” to herself. Executive producer Olly Nash said the shower and how to wash in there was a subject that has been discussed a lot with celebrities this year.

He explained: “The last person that used to shower regularly nak3d in the nud3 was Brian Paddock. I can’t even remember what year that was, but he would stand there facing outwards, and it was quite a confronting sight. The only other person really in the last few years has been Nigel Farage, who just carried on anyway, but obviously he faced the wall.

“It’s funny, they [celebs] have all asked about that this year, but most people just cover themselves up. And it’s absolutely changed. I think the whole world has changed, hasn’t it? A lot over the years, and people are less likely to get in there and want to flaunt themselves.

“They ask can you shower nud3, do people shower nud3. And you go, ‘you’re absolutely welcome’. Obviously, you need to be respectful of everybody around you. But the choice is yours. Most people don’t. Most people wear swimmers. Most people face the wall anyway.”

Olly also hopes the line up chosen this time – including McFly’s Danny Jones, Barry McGuigan, Jane Moore, GK Barry and Coleen Rooney could mean a “classic year” and ITV want to return to the fun times of the year Harry Redknapp won.

Olly said: “One of the golden years was a really positive year, like the Harry Redknapp year of 2018 so this is a great cast which is positive, happy, they’re all really sort of celebrating, and can’t wait to get in.

“And so I think that’s really what we all want to see Is a great year of positive, happy, funny camp. They all do as you know, they all bond together anyway. They all become one big family and this year I think there’s a stronger chance of becoming a stronger family and those relationships continuing beyond the show. The chances of that happening are much greater than before.

“The camp puts everybody on equal footing. And the great thing with that is the camp exposes everybody, and it’s just how you perform within this group. It’s not really everything on the outside. There’s obviously loads of stories that people have got to tell. But once you’re in here you have nothing but yourself.”
