I'm A Celebrity stars dealt punishment after banned items snuck into camp

Stars on I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! have been punished after breaking the show's rules.

The ten famous faces entered the camp on Sunday, with a star-studded lineup including singerTulisa Contostavlos, McFly's Danny Jones, radio presenter Dean McCullough, former boxing champion Barry McGuigan, WAG Coleen Rooney and DJ Melvin Odoom.

The celebrities would have been told not to bring 'contraband' into the camp before entering the jungle - but it seems some stars ignored the rules.

The reality show's forbidden items include makeup, beauty products and other luxury items.

During tonight's program, Dean discretely pulled out a tea bag from his contraband supply and dropped it in the morning's hot water.

The 32-year-old radio host then served the tea to his campmates, who were initially confused but understood what happened.

The group raised their cups to a good day and drank the tea - but the producers were already brewing up a punishment for the stars.

Later in the episode, new campmates Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles were dumped in the Jungle Junkyard and given their first challenge.

The duo had to convince fellow contestant Melvin that life in the junkyard is tough when it actually offers hidden luxuries.

Melvin was tasked with filling up a bucket with offal but he didn't know that Maura and Richard were not helping him in the challenge. Instead they were sitting down, relaxing with a cup of tea.

Despite working alone, the DJ won the challenge and expected to take 10 cupcakes back to camp but Dean's rule-breaking finally caught up with the team.

Melvin soon found out that he could only take five cupcakes as punishment for that morning's contraband violation.

When he returned to the rest of the group, the 44-year-old revealed the punishment and announced that all contraband should be handed into the Bush Telegraph.

Dean turned over his tea bags but a shocking twist revealed that he wasn't the only culprit. Melvin had also brought in food seasoning and shared it with Tulisa, although the singer confessed that she had not used it yet.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
