The recent snaps come after it was revealed the other campmates will take on the first horrific drinking challenge in the first few minutes of the ITV show, which will air on Sunday.
They had to consume a cocktail of blended bull’s penis with fish eyes and a garnish of vomish fruit before parachuting onto the beach.

Oti and Tulisa held the disgusting drink which had a straw and cocktail umbrella while stood next to a sick bucket.
Following the challenge, Ant and Dec delivered the five stars more instructions of their next task and Tulisa, Danny, Oti, Jane and Dean were all spotted running from the house across the grounds to awaiting helicopters.

The luxurious Leaders’ Lodge boasts two comfy beds with mattresses, shelter from the rain, as well as plush duvets and pillows guaranteed to keep them warm and snug during their jungle stay.
The notorious camp leader chair has also transformed this year, with two red leatherbound seats for the two equal leaders of camp, working closely together at all times to rule and maintain a harmonious camp.
And that’s not all, as always in the jungle, the campmates should expect the unexpected as there’s a hidden twist guaranteed to shake things up which will unlock more power and additional perks than ever before for the camp leaders.
The challenge revelation comes after on Wednesday hosts Ant and Dec couldn’t contain their excitement as they fell to the floor after casting their eyes on the jungle for the first time this year.
While rumours have swirled for months about the stars set to be jetting to Australia for a three-week stay in the rat-infested camp, first look snaps earlier this week gave fans a full glimpse at the lineup.
