The latest season of *I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!* is captivating audiences like never before, with a stellar lineup that’s got everyone buzzing. From *Celebs Go Dating* heartthrob Tom Read-Wilson nailing spot-on impressions to the hilarious Angry Ginge (aka Morgan) emerging as an unlikely national hero, and the legendary Ruby Wax delivering non-stop entertainment with her quirky vibes—it’s pure gold. And let’s not overlook the simmering “will-they-won’t-they” tension between *EastEnders* star Shona McGarty and rapper Aitch. It’s basically the jungle’s answer to Ross and Rachel, full of drama and sparks.
Thankfully, this year’s crew is roughing it in the sunny Australian outback. Sure, bunking with fist-sized spiders isn’t anyone’s idea of luxury, but it’s a far cry from the chilly ordeal of being plopped into a Welsh castle mid-November. Remember that? Freezing temps, ancient ruins, and zero tropical vibes—it was a whole different beast.
One star who knows that Welsh wilderness all too well is Giovanna Fletcher: influencer, author, podcast queen, and the undisputed champ of the 2020 series. She outlasted fan-favorite Jordan North to snag the crown, and we recently sat down with her to spill the tea on how her experience stacks up against the current sun-soaked edition.
“Our year in Wales was worlds apart,” Giovanna shared, reflecting on the stark contrast. “The production team would actually turn the cameras away at times. A bunch of the women figured out early on that if you showered nude—I didn’t, mind you—but if you did, they’d pan away completely.”
In today’s world, you’d expect basic privacy during a shower to be a no-brainer. These celebs are signing up for reality TV chaos, not a peep show. But Giovanna dropped a bombshell tip that’s straight out of the survival handbook: “They won’t show it,” she explained. “So, the ultimate hack? Shower naked—they can’t use the footage anyway.”
But here’s where it gets real: Giovanna isn’t just sharing a clever workaround; she’s calling out the bigger issue. “I kind of feel a bit ashamed that this is still a thing… it’s 2025,” she said, echoing what we’ve all been thinking. “How are we still zooming in on bikini shots? That’s not what *I’m A Celeb* is about!”
Preach, Giovanna—louder for the folks in the back! Can we please give stars like Vogue Williams, Shona McGarty, and the entire cast the space to freshen up without turning it into a body-scrutinizing spectacle? The show thrives on trials, banter, and unbreakable bonds—not invasive close-ups. Let’s lock away those outdated tropes for good and focus on the real jungle magic.
