ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is being hit by claims that celebrities are prepared for trials before filming them, with reports saying that the campmates are shown how to complete the tasks and even given the chance to try them before filming takes place.
According to an insider, celebrities are coached in how to complete the tasks in order to "remove some element of jeopardy."
"The average viewer would assume that a celebrity walks from camp and goes straight into the trial without any heads up," the source told The Sun. "In reality, they are told what they need to do, and in many cases shown how to do it and allowed to try and do it.
"It does remove some element of jeopardy: the idea that they know exactly how to escape, or unpick a lock, or release a bolt, before the cameras even start rolling. Endless trials all resulting in celebrities getting stuck on intricacies such as locks and keys would make people switch off."
The insider added, "They don’t get a warm-up, per se, but are told and shown what they need to do to wriggle out of specific parts of trials. They are told what the rules are, what to expect, and ultimately how to beat it. Viewers would much rather see contestants succeeding than failing on a technicality."

However, a spokesperson for I'm a Celeb told The Mail Online that "Contestants are told the instructions of a trial and producers ensure that they understand what is required of them in line with our health and safety procedures. Any suggestion of run throughs or practising is incorrect."
Watch I'm A Celeb tonight on ITV at 9pm.
