Overview
- This year's live trial, titled Cocktails of Cruelty, pits contestants head to head as they select jungle ingredients for their opponent to drink.
- It marks the first Australia-based live trial since 2019, following a one-off live episode staged in Wales in 2020.
- Production evacuated campmates to the Bush Telegraph during a severe storm, with filming delayed by about three hours before activities resumed.
- Heavy rain caused flooding and fallen trees on roads leading to camp, complicating access despite a canopy designed to shield key areas.
- Ant McPartlin slipped while presenting in wet conditions, and contestants including Angry Ginge, Aitch, Shona McGarty, Lisa Riley, and Kelly Brook dried bedding before returning to tasks.
