I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here opening night could be a wash out with storms heading straight for camp

Torrential storms are set to hit the camp on Sunday

THIS year’s I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here campmates could be in for a soaking as thunderstorms are set to hit just in time for the first episode.

The hit ITV show starts on November 13 and, according to local weather reports, it’s going to be a washout with non-stop rain with the threat of thunder and lightening.

Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said: “Thunderstorms are much less likely on Thursday and Friday but come Saturday and into Sunday, thunderstorms become more likely.”

He continued to say there was a “continual threat of storms” due to a band of low pressure.

The forecast on Wednesday predicted a washout with rain forecast nearly all day.

The celebs won’t need their coats however, as it’s expected to reach highs of 30 Degrees Celsius.

It’s not the first time bad weather has threatened to disrupt the show.
