[Police investigate I'm a Celebrity over fears
non-native bugs may be escaping
Rogue creatures from bushtucker trials
including ‘ultimate survivor’ cockroaches could
threaten Welsh countryside]


[Authorities are investigating ITV after complaints
by the TV presenter and naturalist Iolo Williams,
who was appalled after watching
the show last week and seeing thousands
of cockroaches being poured over contestants.
He described it as “madness” to use non-native species for entertainment.
“I’m not sure which species they’re releasing,
but I can tell you they’re not native.
We don’t have those cockroaches here
in the UK and we certainly don’t have
them in north Wales,” he said.]

What Shane has tried to escape ~ he's a big bug

[Rob!]

It’s visibly less critters this year. If he watched the show regularly, he’d know they’re using UK critters. The only one I’ve seen that I don’t think is from the UK is the whip scorpion they’ve used in a couple so far and I don’t think they’ve been in any position to escape.
