The sad curse of the jungle bikini girls: The new I'm A Celebrity gimmick? A shower powerful enough to blast off swimwear. But, as we reveal, it's a fate fit for previous desperate wannabes... By Elizabeth Sanderson This year's model: Amy Willerton has just entered the jungle, making it clear she will take that spot Bikinis at the ready girls. Yes, it's that time of year again, and as the 13th series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! begins this evening, so too does the annual battle of the two-piece. The shower scenes in the jungle have become as much a part of the ITV reality show as the daily bushtucker trial. Indeed, such is their appeal that producers have reportedly installed a new power shower capable of washing the more flimsy costumes away. Meanwhile, two of this year's campmates - Miss Universe finalist Amy Willerton and Emmerdale actress Lucy Pargeter - have already entered the fray. When the contestants landed in Australia last week, Ms Willerton, 21, was soon pictured lounging by the hotel pool in a striking electric blue bikini. Then there was the Baywatch-style run along Surfers" Paradise beach, Queensland, in a tiny turquoise number. Ms Pargeter, on the other hand, is playing the long game. The 36-year-old actress, who plays Chas Dingle, has admitted to picking three different bikinis but claims she might not wear any of them, despite having posed for lads" magazines in the past. "I will probably wear a modesty smock all the time, even in the shower," she claimed. Maybe I will be all right after lack of food. When my ribs start showing, I might put them on then. Yet, how much good fortune do these waterfall ablutions actually bring? True, they guarantee the women airtime - a crucial factor when it's up to the viewers who stays in the camp and who goes. But in the longer term, their appearance on the show doesn't always translate into personal or career success. Ready to go: Miss Willerton has already posed in a bikini for promotion shots of the reality show starting tonight Jungle attire?

Winds reached 65mph, there were 7,000 lightning strikes within 12 hours and hailstones the size of tennis balls. The creek, which was dry a couple of days ago, is now a raging torrent.
