Reality telly is fake – shocker, we know.
OK, so we’ve always had an idea that some of the stuff we see on shows like Big Brother and Love Island is staged.
Now Becky Vardy has gone into detail about just how fake I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here is.
Becky, who took part in the show last year, told Heat magazine that what shocked her the most about being a contestant was how edited it is.
“Even down to us walking to the trials. We had to do that walk three or four times,” she said.
“Any time that you see people sat around the fire, usually someone’s been called to the Bush Telegraph and comes out with a bit of paper and says, ‘We all need to discuss this topic.’”
As for ‘hidden’ cameras? Not so much.
Becky said she and the others were super aware that they were being filmed.
“I lost count of how many cameras there are.
“Above your head, the cameras are on zip-wires, so they follow you everywhere! It’s crazy, it’s like Big Brother – you’re watched and listened to 24 hours a day.”
She also admitted that the camp got in trouble for not showering enough – though she didn’t say whether that was for hygiene or for entertainment reasons.
“We all got a b**locking, because we weren’t using the shower enough.
“It was too cold, it was peeing it down with rain constantly, and I literally got a tick in the back of my neck the first night I got in there.
“And there were leeches everywhere, so no one wanted to strip down to any form of swimwear.”
Gorge.
