I’m A Celebrity star Gillian McKeith reportedly smuggled contraband into the South African camp by packing them in condoms.
The 63-year-old is said to be making a late arrival to the new series – which kicks off on Monday (April 24) – along with the likes of Joe Swash and Myleene Klass.
And now, it has been reported that Gillian broke one of the show’s majorly strict rules during her stint on the new series.

According to an insider, the TV star managed to sneak in turmeric, sage, cinnamon, miso paste and dill into the South African camp – leaving bosses “gobsmacked.”
A source told The Sun: “Producers were gobsmacked.”
“She put the spices into condoms that were found in tiny pockets between two sets of knickers.
“She also managed to sneak in garlic bulbs in her shoes — and stuffed spices into a push-up bra after removing its silicone chicken fillets.”
Gillian, who appeared on the OG show I’m A Celeb back in 2010, was ultimately rumbled by production staff.
But it’s not the first time Gillian has attempted to break the show’s rules, as during her stint in 2020, she was caught with rock salt stuffed in a pair of M&S pants.
Gillian later said about being caught: “I feel like a naughty schoolgirl.”
The all-stars series kicks off on ITV1 and ITVX on Monday with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly back at the helm.
But rather than a bunch of nervous celebrities taking part, the cast for this series are all past contestants – and it seems they’ve got something to prove.

This time, though, they will be competing against each other for the right to remain in camp, as explained by hosts Ant and Dec.
The full cast was announced earlier this year, with Janice, Helen Flanagan, Carol Vorderman, Shaun Ryder and Paul Burrell joined by Amir Khan, Fatima Whitbread, Jordan Banjo and Phil Tufnell.
However, it has been confirmed that there are some former contestants yet to be revealed and will join camp at a later date.
Other stars tipped to appear in the series include the likes of Gillian, Georgia Toffolo, Joe Swash and Dean Gaffney.
