A viewer asked: "Does I'm A Celeb cover the camp when it rains?"
Stepping up to explain first, Ant said: "They don't cover the camp. There is a canopy, like a canopy in the middle."
He then went to gesture and explain how the canopy works as he grabbed a nearby bowl of beans and paper plate to explain.
He continued: "So say all the beds are here. Say Dec's beans are the beds, that's the beds there.

Ant then explained how the rain can come in sideways and sometimes drip off the canopy, which can wet some of the stars.

She said: "It was just horrible, you couldn’t get dry, you couldn’t get warm. When it rains at night, they open this massive canopy, almost like a parachute, over the camp.
"It’s on a pulley system to protect the camp, so to speak, but sometimes there are a few holes in it, so everything still gets damp and soggy."
