Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have been told to keep their eyes peeled for deadly snakes after a highly venomous one was spotted near their apartment in Australia. The popular TV hosts are currently in Australia preparing for the upcoming series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!
Signs were put up by Kingscliff beach in New South Wales after a 'large brown snake' was seen in the area. It is thought to have been an Eastern Brown Snake, which is considered to be the world's second-most venomous land snake. A source from the show revealed that Ant and Dec will need to be cautious when they are on the beach and in the surrounding area.
The Eastern Brown Snake can grow up to seven feet in length and is known for its defensive displays, often mistaken for aggression. It will coil its neck into an 'S' shape, rising off the ground and opening its mouth, ready to strike. It is responsible for more deaths from snakebite in Australia than any other group of snakes and can outpace a human running at full speed.
The initial bite is generally painless and often difficult to detect but medical attention should be sought without delay as its bite can result in progressive paralysis and uncontrollable bleeding, according to the Australian Museum. Back in 2017, a brown snake was removed from the I'm A Celebrity camp before it could cause too much of a risk for the cast and crew.
Rumoured contestants for this year's I'm A Celebrity have already been spotted in Australia. This Morning host Jodie Gibson and former politician Nigel Farage are just two of the names who have been linked with the show and it is thought that they have inked deals worth more than £1million each. Other names in the mix include Britney Spears' sister Jamie Lynn, First Dates star Fred Sirieix, horse racing legend Frankie Dettori, Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson and Marvin Humes.
The presenters and contestants will need to be extra careful when they are out in Australia, as the deadly Eastern Brown Snake is still lurking around. Ant and Dec will need to keep their eyes peeled while the other cast members will need to ensure they keep a safe distance!
