I'M A Celebrity stars will be engulfed by 10,000 cockroaches for the launch of this year's show.
And coming face to face with the creepy crawlies won't win them a thing — because it isn't going to count as a trial.
Bosses have planned the bug-fest for today — when the celebs meet each other at a villa on the coast of Queensland, Australia.
It will be the biggest number of cockroaches ever used in one scene — and the results will be aired on Sunday when the series starts at 9pm on ITV1.
Executive producer Chris Brogden said: "We always like to do something big and new for our launch show.
"This year we are surprising our celebrities with a challenge that isn't a trial. It will see all of them come into contact with 10,000 cockroaches.
"That will be a big shock for them on day one."
There could also be a few unplanned horrors in store for the celebs, who'll be spending up to three weeks on the show.
The jungle site has been over-run with repulsive reptiles — and I'm A Celeb medic Bob McCarron revealed that 40 deadly Rough-scaled SNAKES had been removed since August.
He said: "It is a bit of a worry."
The Aussie camp has also been flooded with microscopic TICKS, which can do serious damage if they are not removed immediately.
:eek:
