I'm A Celeb Medics 'On Red Alert' as Concern Raised Before Angry Ginge Trial
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here show organisers are reportedly on ‘red alert’ due to the extreme conditions recorded ahead of Angry Ginge’s first Bushtucker Trial.
Content creator Angry Ginge – formerly Morgan Burtwistle – is best known for his football-related social media and YouTube videos, but, alongside nine other contestants, he will be put through his paces on the much-loved ITV show.
On Sunday, the new series aired with Angry Ginge, rapper Aitch, comedian/presenter Eddie Kadi, and media personality Jack Osbourne earning luxury beds after completing a challenge, while their campmates had to settle for the less glamorous hammocks.
Kadi, Aitch, ex-EastEnders actor, Shona McGarty, model Kelly Brook, and Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp all jumped from a helicopter during episode one, while the five then entered a wooden hut before making their way through slime while trying to find a key fob which allowed access to a getaway car.

Aitch and Kadi reigned victorious and, as a result, were rewarded with cocktails.
Angry Ginge did not take part in the skydiving task, but he did compete for a spot in the getaway car.
Comedian Ruby Wax, Ginge, Lisa Riley, Osbourne, and former footballer Alex Scott all had to place their heads into snake-filled boxes while attempting to unscrew bolts with their hands as they fended off green ants.
Burtwistle and Osbourne came out on top. But the 24-year-old content creator, as well as Wax, will take part in the first eating challenge of the series during Monday’s episode.
And according to reports, the show’s medics are preparing for dangerous levels of humidity in the area.
As reported by The Sun, humidity hit 90 per cent in New South Wales on Sunday - 20 per cent higher than the average.
Humidity is a measurement of water vapour in the air. Warmer air can hold an increased amount of vapour compared to cooler air.
So how does this impact the human body?
Well, according to BBC News, the human body struggles to cope with high humidity as the evaporation of sweat is made more difficult, meaning a person can feel hot, sticky, and unable to cool down.
This can lead to overheating and heat stress when combined with high temperatures.
A source told The Sun: “The celebs have been hit with some of the worst Australia has to offer this year from the word go.
“They’ve been taken from lovely air-conditioned hotels to the humidity of the Aussie jungle with no time to adjust to the humidity.
“When it’s like this, it’s seriously uncomfortable just to breathe in — let alone do any form of physical activity like they’ll have to do to keep camp moving. It’s been a baptism of fire.”
The outlets suggest that the medical team has precautionary measures in place to combat the issue, including special water-activated cooling towels to prevent fainting.
