A source said: “All crew are told to stay two metres apart from cast members, which is a Covid regulation. Sound and security, who do tests, are the only people that can come into contact with the celebrities.”
The insider continued: “Crew are also asked to wear face coverings to prevent a Covid outbreak on set, which would completely ruin the show.
“Mike having physical contact with the assistant producer was a rule break and he shouldn't have approached her.”
“She was taken completely by surprise and didn't expect Mike to behave the way he did,” they added.
The rule breach came just days before the contestants headed into camp, where Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the show after 24 hours ‘on medical grounds’.
Comedian Seann Walsh and former health secretary Matt Hancock are the latest additions to camp after entering on Wednesday night.
I’m A Celeb continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
