I'm a Celebrity's 'Dr Bob' reveals shocking reason campmates wear red socks
But have you ever wondered why the celebrities wear red socks? You might think it’s because a classic white pair will show every speck of dirt as they live outdoors.
Yet former I’m a Celebrity medic Bob McCarron who is also known as ‘Dr Bob’ has revealed the disgusting reason why endless red socks are seen in the camp.
Speaking about a previous series, Bob told Woman’s Own that during the show, contestants are likely to be bitten by all sorts of bugs and creepy crawlies.
To stop viewers from being able to see the splatter of blood on them, celebrities are required to wear red socks.
Every winner of I'm A Celeb through the years
Bob also explained other health issues he came across during his time on I'm a Celebrity.
Previously, he told the spin-off series Extra Camp on ITV2: "Most people think of fungus as mushrooms but we have problems with the cast every year – especially women growing fungus on certain body parts [breasts]."
"I’ve been instructing them to use the shower and personal hygiene a little bit more often,” as reported by Cosmopolitan Magazine.
