Deadly Cane Toad Invasion Threatens I'm A Celebrity Jungle Camp
7 Nov, 2025
Summary
- 38,000 toxic cane toads killed before I'm A Celebrity filming
- Cane toad slime can cause nausea, vomiting, and hospitalization
- Jungle also home to 14 venomous snake species and deadly spiders

Just weeks before the start of the 2025 season of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, environmental experts have undertaken a massive cull of poisonous cane toads in the show's filming location. A staggering 38,322 of the toxic reptiles have been eliminated from the area, a significant increase from the 4,684 killed in the previous year's efforts.
The cane toads, an invasive species in Australia, pose a serious health threat to the celebrity contestants. The brown-colored toads secrete a milky white slime through glands behind their eyes when they feel threatened. If any of the jungle stars were to come into contact with this slime and then touch their mouth or eyes, it could result in nausea, vomiting, and in some cases, even hospitalization.
