Bizarre item campmate snuck into I’m A Celeb jungle after being exempt from extremely strict make-up rule

Bizarre item campmate snuck into I’m A Celeb jungle after being exempt from extremely strict make-up rule

The 2017 'Queen of the Jungle' managed to smuggle a pretty peculiar item into the camp

It's been nearly a week now since I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! hit our screens again, and there's been a whole lot of chatter online about the strict rules the campmates have to follow Down Under.

In fact, ITV viewers seem to be extremely interested in what is or isn't deemed contraband in the camp, following speculation that Tulisa and Jane Moore were allegedly wearing make-up, which is said to go against I'm A Celeb's rules.

However, it would appear there is one extremely strict beauty rule that only one contestant was exempt from in the history of the beloved reality TV programme - and that same celeb was also able to smuggle in another super bizarre contraband item.

While celebs aren't permitted to bringing some lippy and mascara into the jungle, there are reportedly some special circumstances.

Back in 2017, Made In Chelsea's Georgia Toffolo - also known as Toff - took home the prestigious 'Queen of the Jungle' accolade.

After taking home the title, she opened up about the reason why she was granted special permission to enter with make-up - in order to cover up her severe acne.

"I honestly wouldn’t have been able to look any of my campmates in the eye if I didn’t have my make-up on," she told The Sun after the show.

"When producers told me it was banned I broke down in tears and said, 'I can’t do this'.

"I’ve been to the doctors so much over the years. It’s a medical problem and I’ve been on strong tablets for six months trying to get rid of them."

Georgia continued to explain: "So show bosses agreed that, because it was a medical problem, I was allowed to put foundation on once a day in the morning.

"I wish I could walk around with no make-up on but I have big angry red marks all down the side of my cheeks.

"Some people don’t understand how badly it affects my confidence and upsets me."

And it wasn't just foundation Georgia brought into the jungle as she also found a way to bring in chicken fillets of all things.

No, not the food, the bra padding.

"I felt really skinny," she continued. "I had small boobies anyway and I looked down and I was completely flat. I took in chicken fillets in my bra, but I accidentally lay on one and burst it.

"So I had one booby with a chicken fillet and one without, so I had to sacrifice them. I’ve just had to embrace my small boobies."

Georgia added: "I doubt I would ever get a boob job when I can buy chicken fillets. It’s nothing to be ashamed of."

Tyla has previously reached out to ITV for comment on the jungle rules.
