Last week, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! watchers were left puzzled when campmates like Tulisa Contostavlos, Jane Moore and Coleen Rooney appeared to still be wearing make-up despite the show's strict ban on bringing cosmetics like mascara, foundation and lipstick into the jungle.
Social media users X even wondered if a few of them had snuck products into the backpacks, much like Dean and his contraband tea bags. "Why isn't Tulisa and Jane's make-up coming off?" asked one X user, while a second wondered: "Sorry, but how have Tulisa & Jane still got make-up on?"
The Mirror reported that the stars are actually getting around ITV's make-up ban with semi-permanent, or 'tattoo' make-up, but we've now discovered there's also a way for them to bring pre-approved cosmetics into the jungle on the quiet.
In an interview with the Sun shortly after her own stint on I'm a Celeb in 2017, Georgina 'Toff' Toffolo explained she was given a medical exemption that allowed her to bring some base make-up into the jungle for the purpose of covering her acne.
"I honestly wouldn’t have been able to look any of my campmates in the eye if I didn’t have my make-up on," she explained. "When producers told me it was banned I broke down in tears and said, 'I can’t do this'. I’ve been to the doctor so much over the years. It’s a medical problem and I’ve been on strong tablets for six months trying to get rid of them."
Georgia continued: "Show bosses agreed that, because it was a medical problem, I was allowed to put foundation on once a day in the morning. Some people don’t understand how badly it affects my confidence and upsets me."
We do have to wonder if any celebs on this 2024 camp pre-agreed a make-up exemption on medical grounds, like Toff. We imagine the full details will come out after the show finishes.
