I'm A Celebrity: Jungle stars to be 'kidnapped'

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! bosses plan to 'kidnap' two of the contestants, it has been revealed.

When the two camps are reunited later this week show producers are planning a shock 'terrorist plot' in which two unlucky celebs will be captured and held prisoner in a grotty den filled with rats and creepy crawlies.

A show source told the Daily Mirror: "They will be given meagre rations of rice and beans and no luxuries whatsoever while they are away from camp over a number of nights.

"Ransom notes will be sent to the rest of the campers, who will be forced to forfeit luxury items, food rations and clothing to get their teammates back. It could be enough to push some of the contestants over the edge."

Meanwhile, it has been revealed the contestants have been given hot water this year in a bid to get the female contestants, such as glamour girl Nicola McLean (pictured), to strip off.

The temperature in the Australian jungle is unusually low for this time of year so bosses are hoping that hot showers will help get things steamy.

Producer Marty Benson said: "We like people using the shower. We do like the big boobies out. And let's face it, we have a few this year.

"So we've got warm water in the shower and want people to use it. We have even named it the 'Myleene Shower' in her honour."

In 2006, Myleene won fans over by showering daily in her tiny white bikini but this year only Brian Paddick has showered naked.
