I’m A Celeb’s Emily Atack shows fans behind the scenes on set as she arrives in the jungle
I'M A Celeb host Emily Atack has given fans a rare look at the backstage area as the team work around the clock to prepare for Sunday's first show.
The 29-year-old Extra Camp presenter got emotional as she gave her Instagram followers an unofficial tour of the £7million set.

Squealing and giggling as she followed her co-star Joel Dommett around the winding scaffolding stairs, she told fans: "This is where my mummy was when I came out."
Panning the camera over one of the crossings into the famous camp, she said: "One of the bridges there. Oh my God."
She added, nervously: "I'm not allowed to film this here - so goodbye."
However, she switched the camera back on as she got into a part of the jungle familiar to many viewers.

The former I'm A Celeb star walked past part of the set where Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly do many of their links from a treetop platform.
Shooting a set of steep stairs constructed from scaffolding, she said: "Oh my God. This is where all the families waited."
The set was festooned with warnings, with one commanding: "Only 5 people allowed on the bridges and 10 people on the crows nest at any one time."
Earlier, Emily posted a picture of her meeting up with co-hosts Joel and Adam Thomas - the latest line-up on Extra Camp.

Emily and Adam are making their debut this year after former co-hosts Scarlett Moffatt and Joe Swash left the programme, while Joel has been a fixture since 2017.
He and Emily last week shared pictures of them on the flight to Australia - kicking back in the first class cabin.
The former Inbetweeners actress has been making the most of her time Down Under, going for walks on the sun-drenched beaches of the Gold Coast.
She posted a picture pointing out some of the highlights, writing: "On my walk this morning, feeling so incredibly moved and grateful for early morning fit surfers at the beach."

She later posted a snap of her on the beach in a yellow bikini, unfairly describing herself as "an egg with hair".
Emily finished in second place on last year's series of I'm A Celeb, behind king of the jungle Harry Redknapp.
The hit show provided such a boost to her career that she launched a successful tour called Talk Thirty To Me.
