Willie Carson is facing a severe reprimand from I’m a Celebrity bosses after being caught red-handed smuggling chilli into camp.
The ex-jockey was heard boasting about having the contraband and ITV’s cameras spotted him slipping spices into the contestants’ saucepans.
Glamour girl Jessica-Jane Clement leaned over to hide the sneaky manoeuvre and Hollywood icon Stefanie Powers tried to cover up the mischief by whispering, “Shh, don’t talk”.
Willie then announced: “We put a bit of chilli and a bit of the other stuff in it so hopefully it will be a bit more tasty than it should be.”
The move has echoes of when Gillian McKeith smuggled in salt, garlic and soup last year – and earned a rebuke from producers.
Producers believe he risked putting the chilli down his underpants to sneak it into the bush.
