Looking ahead at the weather for Queensland where the show films, forecasts predict severe thunderstorms will hit the camp for the first few days.
The UV index, which is a measure of the sun's ultraviolet radiation and the damage it can cause to skin and eyes, is also rated at 12, which is deemed 'very unhealthy'.
Anything above 11 is extreme and a 'stay inside' warning according to the prevent cancer foundation.
This is not the first time that the weather have caused chaos in camp.

Last year, the camp braced for winds of up to 130mph and heavy rain sweeping in just days before the famous Cyclone challenge.
They were battered by Cyclone Jasper, a powerful category three storm off Australia’s Queensland coast.
At the time, meteorologists warned of the dangers from the storm.
And if things couldn't get any worse, it was reported last week that poisonous TOADS have invaded the camp just days before it kicks off.
