The celebrities are getting stuck in on their first days as Im A Celebrity camp mates.

The celebs are split into two teams when they reach Australia, and the yellow team seem to already be having a tough time of it when a canoe challenge goes pear-shaped.

Under the watchful eye of team leaders Sair Khan and James McVey, the celebs got stuck in to the task near Byron Bay.

The contestants were in team canoes, racing each other to the middle of the lake to grab a flag.

The team then had to try and get their team, with the canoe, to shore.

It might not be the first time they get a soaking either, as bad weather hit the camp leaving it a washout.

Just before the famous faces got to camp, a bad storm descended causing the heavens to open up.

Heavy rain gushed into the camp, soaking all the utensils and the sleeping area, which meant this years camp mates are got to have a very damp start to their Im A Celebrity experience.

This years contestants who will be staying in the jungle for the next three weeks are TV presenter Nick Knowles, actor and entertainer John Barrowman MBE, Hollyoaks star Malique Thompson-Dwyer, popstar James McVey, football manager Harry Redknapp, actor Rita Simons, TVs The Governess Anne Hegerty, comedy actor Emily Atack, Coronation Street star Sair Khan and singer Fleur East.

The campmates have apparently been told to avoid the trees while in camp as bad weather is about to hit the Gold Coast.

Its expected that heavy winds, hailstones and a huge storm should hit set within the upcoming hours.

Im a Celebrity have confirmed that the storm has already hit the area, hence the drenched camp, but that tomorrows launch is still currently going ahead as planned.
