I was on I’m A Celeb – people sneak into camp at 5am and there is a secret ‘voice’ not heard on TV
A FORMER I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here star has revealed how the celebs are directed on the show by a 'voice' not heard by fans.
Gillian McKeith - who appeared on the ITV show in 2010 - opened up on how producers would sneak into camp without being seen.
Gillian, 63, exclusively told The Sun about how she "never saw" staff in camp as they would creep in "every morning at 5am".
Staff would check on the technology, including each celeb's mic pack, as well as announce who was going to the Bush Telegraph.
The TV star explained: "There are sound check people that come in and change your batteries, every morning about 5am.
"A person comes in to change the batteries in the mic pack, it's on the side of your bed so they come in, change them and leave."

She added of the secret "voice" heard in camp - but missing from the TV edit: "I never saw the producers in camp.
"When the producers need you to do something, a voice beams into camp, over a loudspeaker, and they will say something like: ‘Will Gillian please go to the bush telegraph?’
"If you don’t go fast enough, they tell you to hurry up."
It comes after Gillian opened up on how she believes that one of the campmates has been "manipulating" the jungle camp.

The TV star, who is backing Mike Tindall for success this year, produced some of I'm A Celeb's most memorable moments while bunking off trials in 2010.
The You Are What You Eat star fainted twice on the show back in 2010, but was called out over her "theatrics" after viewers spotted her pulling down her top while supposedly unconscious.
But speaking to The Sun, Gillian told us she thinks politician Matt Hancock is "manipulating" the other stars.
She said: "You do get a sense from him that he is lacking self awareness, but when it comes to politicians they are so clever.
"They are very good at weaving people into their web and making themselves appear extremely amiable and kind and caring.
"He is demonstrating all of these qualities on the show so of course he could be manipulating us because aren’t politicians like that?"
Not holding back Gillian added: "It’s totally the Matt Hancock show, 100%.
"I do not agree with sitting MPs leaving their works to go and do another job and abandoning their constituency that they are being paid to do work for. It doesn’t make sense to me at all.
"It’s completely wrong, I don’t understand why he doesn't see that. You have to be completely tone deaf to not understand that, especially in light of where we have come from."

But in a moment of reflection she said: "That said, Matt Hancock is also coming across very well, he is so amiable, he is like the guy you would want to know.

"He is very skilled at doing this. I think if he is not out first, then he has a chance of winning.
"It will be extreme - he will either be out first or in the running to win."
