I’m A Celebrity stars face strict vaping ban – but those who smoke can still puff away in jungle
A GOVERNMENT crackdown on vaping in New South Wales meaning any I’m A Celebrity stars craving their nicotine fix from a plastic cigarette are out of luck.
While smokers can keep up their bad habit, including Nigel Farage who goes through ten cigarettes a day, any of the I’m A Celebrity stars who vape will have to visit a doctor first and get a specialist prescription.
I’m A Celebrity’s Executive Producer Laura Woolf said: “If they want a cigarette they have to request one and go off one by one. They come up to the Bush Telegraph, everything goes through there.
“They can vape although in NSW if they want to smoke nicotine they need a prescription. They are trying to cut down on it.”
The show’s stars, which includes Marvin Humes, Josie Gibson and Jamie Lynn Spears, are also facing some terrifying critters in camp.
A number of snakes have been removed by experts in recent days, with the show’s Health and Safety Officer Jeremy Douglas admitting the weather has seen more than ever in camp.

He said: “We have had a lot of snakes on the site this year, possibly because it has been so humid.
“We have had pythons, and non-venomous and venomous species.
“You get small eyed snakes and brown tree snakes predominantly.”
Laura added: “We’ve had 15 snake sightings across the site and then we’ve had to identify some venomous ones in camp.
“It gets worse when the celebs come in because they leave food everywhere. It’s like they don’t realise they’re living in a jungle!”
Snakes aren’t the only critters the stars will be dealing with, as the camp has also had an influx of blood sucking leeches.
