Heavy rainfall expected over the next few days is only going to make conditions in the camp worse and encourage the critters out of hiding.
Bosses are keeping a close eye on the forecast as infestations of leeches in the famous jungle waterfall can play havoc with squeamish celebs.
Joe Swash, who hosts Extra Camp with Scarlett Moffatt and Joel Dommett, previously moaned about the numbers of leeches watching to latch on for a drink.
And Kim Woodburn and Nicola McLean have both endured run-ins with the blood-sucking nasties.

ITV reveals exciting first trailer for I'm A Celebrity 2018
Thunder and lightning is expected to strike during the next few weeks – meaning the celebs heading Down Under won’t be topping up their tans in the sun.
Every year the camp is hit by rain which leaves the stars struggling to keep their belongings dry.
But it’s expected to get worse this year, with torrential rain lashing the area in recent days.
ITV bosses do employ a team of experts to sweep the camp - close to Australia’s Gold Coast - for deadly snakes and spiders.

Last year, deadly funnel web spiders had to be taken away by the show’s expert Dr Bob McCarron, as well as two poisonous Rough Scaled snakes.
Declan Donnelly and Holly Willoughby will jet out to Australia in the next few days to prepare for the starry arrivals.
And while the celebs are slumming it in sleeping bags, they’ll be enjoying the plush surroundings of a luxurious 5 star hotel.
