I’m A Celebrity bosses are reportedly putting a compulsory two-week quarantine rule in place to try and decrease the chance of a Covid outbreak on set.
Show bosses will create a bubble for the stars in order to try to prevent any rows over vaccines and to keep them safe once in the camp.
A source told The Sun: “All of the celebrities will have to quarantine alone for a fortnight.
“Once this ends they will enter the camp, which is basically then their bubble for the whole series.
“Testing will be done regularly in camp and on the set to ensure all the cast and crew are safe.

“ITV thinks this is the best case scenario and will stop any headaches surrounding Covid, which has been a nightmare for the BBC with Strictly.”
This season of Strictly, the show was plunged into deep water as three stars refused to have the jab, leading to mutiny behind the scenes.
Tom Fletcher and his dance partner Amy Dowden was also forced to miss the second live show after testing positive for coronavirus.

To avoid any aggro, ITV bosses plan to keep the stars safe in their bubble to creep around any vaccine debates.
According to reports, the latest celeb rumoured to be joining this year’s camp is EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt, who plays Ian Beale.
He is apparently the latest celeb to be listed on the lineup and will be heading into Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Conwy, in Wales.

The star has been a part of the soap since 1985 and is the longest-serving cast member of EastEnders – having starred in over 3,000 episodes.
Currently, on a hiatus from the soap, Adam will be entering the Welsh castle ruins this winter.
It has been reported that the producers of I’m A Celeb are excited that Adam has agreed to sign up for this year’s series.

A so-called insider claimed to The Sun that Adam was “a big target” for the casting team this year, as he is “certain” to be a hit with viewers.
Adam has shied away from red carpets, interviews and reality shows – keeping his distance from stardom.
The source told the publication that they think he’s a “brilliant addition” to this year’s lineup.
In August 2020, fans found out that Adam was to be written out of scenes as part of an “extended break” for Ian Beale.
But in May this year, Adam dropped a bombshell that no doubt left fans concerted, revealing that Ian Beale’s hiatus would last until next year.
