Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway is apparently planning to smuggle contraband into the jungle via a hidden pouch in her bikini. Every year, the celebrities are given strict instructions as to what they’re allowed to bring into camp – with make-up, food and other home comforts all strictly out of bounds – with the exception of one luxury item each.
On Good Morning Britain, Kate’s co-host Ben Shepard – who is presenting alongside Susanna Reid and Charlotte Hawkins in Kate’s absence – let slip that Kate was conspiring to break the rules by working in some cheeky modifications to her swimsuit, thanks to one of her GMB colleagues.
Ben said: ‘When I left on Friday, Debbie who does everybody's wardrobe was perfecting a little pocket for something into the bikini... I think she was smuggling... well, I don’t know exactly what it is. A bit of make-up maybe, or some spices, because someone said if you look after the cooking... a little seasoning?’
It sounds like Kate has been listening to former I’m A Celeb contestant, Rita Simons’ advice – as earlier this month she encouraged the 2019 campmates to break the rules by bringing in contraband, saying: ‘Smuggle, smuggle it in. What are you gonna lose? Are you gonna get chucked out? I got caught with everything!’
