I'm A Celebrity filming reveals day one chaos as star's parachute blows off course

The stars of this year's I'm A Celebrity...

Get me Out of Here! have landed in Australia. However, the first day of filming didn't go as smoothly as planned after the celebrities' initial task involved parachuting onto the beach at popular Australian destination Byron Bay. While some managed the task with ease, others found it challenging.



Loose Women panellist Jane Moore struggled with strong winds during her descent, causing her to land among tourists instead of her fellow campmates. Eventually, she made her way to the other celebrities and was visibly relieved as she embraced Coleen Rooney. Coleen Rooney, 38, who is married to Wayne Rooney, is reportedly receiving £1.

5 million to appear on the ITV show - the highest sum ever paid to any contestant, reports the Mirror . Social media star and podcaster GK Barry also took on the jump, while DJ and TV presenter Melvin Odoom was also waiting on the beach to welcome Jane when she arrived.

N-Dubz star and former X Factor judge Tulisa, 36, was also spotted confidently running to board a helicopter at a plush waterfront property. Each celebrity was required to parachute down to the beach to join the rest of the campmates. McFly's Danny Jones seemed less comfortable with the experience, looking rather queasy post-jump.

Meanwhile Oti Mabuse, the ex-Strictly Come Dancing star, was also seen gearing up for her skydive and admitted to a phobia of snakes. The line-up this year also includes Coronation Street's Alan Halsall, known for his role as the endearing Tyrone Dobbs. The 42-year-old said: "I'm not scared of anything at home but if you were to put 10 snakes on my head, I don't know how I would feel about that as clearly I've never been in that situation before!" Former champion boxer Barry McGuigan will also be in the jungle.

He said: "I don't exactly enjoy hanging out with rats and snakes and spiders...

but I don't have a phobia of any of them." The 10 celebrities make their way into the camp over the weekend before a duo of celebrities will become joint leaders in the camp after triumphing in an initial contest - named Snakes And Leaders - which involves a race to the finish line after the stars form teams. This year's pairs challenge marks a change from the usual 'walk the plank' style opener atop a building on the Gold Coast.

The camp has also been upgraded with the addition of the new Leader's Lodge, complete with comfortable beds protected from the rain, plush pillows and large duvets. Executive producer Olly Nash said: "This year we're going out for an ultra competitive series, you've got a really positive cast, everybody's really happy and up for it. All the celebrities will be pairing up into pairs, and those five pairs will go head to head in a number of challenges.

The winners will become the first leaders of camp, exempt from all chores, and live in the Leader's Lodge, and they'll be running camp, setting up the way they want and the way they like for the first few days." I'm A Celebrity..
