Never again: Dec swears to never get it done with Ant again, saying: ‘That was the most uncomfortable test I’ve ever had. We shall do them individually from here on in’
‘They’re now trying to work out a way to make sure that, if there’s bad weather when the show airs in November, it doesn’t affect filming.
‘The jungle set was fine when it rained as there was natural drainage and streams. But an ancient castle with no proper piping systems is a whole different story.’
The source added that the torrential rainfall has turned into a ‘headache’ for the crew trying to get the castle ready in time for the celebrities to move in.
A representative for I’m A Celebrity declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.
