The Storm Approaches
A hurricane-force cyclone is headed straight for the I’m A Celeb camp in Australia, raising concerns about the upcoming final. Cyclone Jasper is expected to bring 120mph winds and heavy rain, directly hitting the ITV set. The storm is predicted to intensify overnight and could reach category 5 status by Friday, with gusts of over 157mph.
The Final Countdown
As the storm approaches, the remaining I’m A Celeb contestants are spending their last days in camp before Sunday’s finale. Nick Pickard was the latest star to be eliminated, leaving Nigel Farage, Josie Gibson, Sam Thompson, Marvin Humes, Danielle Harold, and Tony Bellew to battle it out for the final spots.
Celebrity Cyclone Threatened
The iconic Celebrity Cyclone trial, set to take place on Saturday, is now at risk due to the storm. Show producers are on high alert and closely monitoring the situation. The safety of the celebrities is paramount, and ITV is prepared for any eventuality. However, Cyclone Jasper could potentially wreak havoc and disrupt the final challenge.
Communities Warned to Prepare
The cyclone is currently heading towards Cairns, and communities in Mackay have been advised to make preparations. The Queensland Fire and Emergency Service has warned that the impact of the storm could be felt beyond the immediate area. Tropical cyclones can last for days and bring dangerous winds, heavy rainfall, flash flooding, and storm surges.
Past Devastation
Queensland experienced its last tropical cyclone almost two years ago when Cyclone Seth struck in January 2022. The storm resulted in devastating flooding and two fatalities. As the cyclone approaches, residents are being urged to be prepared for the potential dangers it may bring.
