The 25-year-old said: “You can smoke if you’re in the jungle, but you have to go one at a time and you have to stand with a security guard in the middle of the jungle and smoke.”

“So its not really the same vibe as being outside “Freedom” on a Saturday night. It’s kind of depressing, you feel like you’re killing the planet.”

And GK added that she felt uncomfortable smoking in the jungle, even though it is outdoors.

She said: “It feels morally wrong to smoke in the jungle. But you get really close with the security guards they are absolutely lovely, shout out with Michael and Matt.”

Earlier this week, GK whose girlfriend is England Football star Ella Rutherford, 24, revealed that the weather conditions in camp were so frightful, that, “It’s a miracle we didn’t all beat each other up.”

Speaking on her social media platform, she told how the celebs had to be herded to a safe space due to the biblical weather which was the worst in the history of the ITV show.

She said: “”If it was thunder and lightening which, by the way, was the whole f**king time I was in there, it was deemed unsafe.”

“So at some point we would all as a collective group get called into the Bush Telegraph and we would have to stay in there until the lightening and the storm had gone.

“Each night you were getting woken up one or two times to sit in the Bush Telegraph and then you’re up at 530am.

“So it’s a miracle we didn’t all beat each other up to be honest with you.

“Because the lack of sleep and then hunger is no joke.”

The Sun revealed how ITV bosses had to put together a contingency plan after the weather brought chaos to the show, causing flooding to the roads leading to the site and problems with the set.

Indeed an evacuation plan was even in place, in case the weather got so bad, that was the camp was deemed unsafe, after driving rain made for the wettest series in 22 years.

Bosses were even concerned that the weather could destroy the satellite system and disrupt the coverage of the ITV show.

A source at the time said: “All the campmates are fine, but producers monitored them on Saturday night as the storm worsened. The crew were struggling to make it on site.”
