So irresponsible!

I’m A Celebrity 2021 has by hit by yet another security breach as an intruder broke into the castle and entered the celebs’ living quarters.

It’s thought the two men – dressed in camouflage gear – spent 90 minutes in camp as they illegally trespassed on the site.

The pair even posed for selfies on the I’m A Celebrity site.

I’m A Celebrity 2021: Security breach as intruders enter castle

The men entered Gwrych Castle on Saturday, after the celebrities had been evacuated due to Storm Arwen.

It’s said they made their way though wind-battered woods and scaled fences to get into the castle compound – dangerous and irresponsible given damage caused by the storm.

Once inside, they filmed themselves with the campmates’ sleeping bags in the bedroom.

They were also pictured in the courtyard and took snaps of the toilet.

According to The Sun, one of the intruders said: “We managed to get into the set after a two-hour hike over the mountain tops of the castle estate”

He added that they didn’t know the celebs had been evacuated, but added: “I’m slightly glad the celebs were not on set as I believe if we had managed to come into contact, it could have breached the show’s COVID bubble and forced it off air again.”

The intruder added that they were only spotted after they had “explored the entirety of the campmates’ quarters”.

They told us: “A security breach was identified during Storm Arwen and intruders were removed from the location with immediate effect.

“The safety of both our celebrities and our production crew remains our primary concern.”

As a result of the break in, the camp was deep cleaned while the campmates were back in isolation, so that the COVID bubble wasn’t broken.

Third I’m A Celebrity security breach in a week

It’s not the first time security has been breached at the castle.

Yesterday (December 2), a plane flew overheard to deliver a secret message to campmate Danny Miller.

And, last week, a man was caught “within yards” of the compound and was thrown off site by security.
