Live insects will not be eaten in this year's I'm A Celebrity, in a "permanent" change to the reality TV show.
I'm A Celebrity has previously been criticised for using live bugs in its 'bushtucker trials'.
Some tasks on the ITV show have included insects being eaten alive or dumped onto contestants.
The stars could still be covered in bugs during filming in Australia but any eaten will already be dead.
"Producers have taken a look at the trials and decided that no live critters would be eaten in the trials this year," BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat has been told.
Yeah, I don't watch I'm a Celebrity, but even if I did, I don't think I would miss this aspect of the show. I can definitely understand the shock value when it was new, but I'm sure it's long since lost that, because the viewers will have grown completely used to it.
Time to find a new way to creep the contestants out .
