Jane Moore’s first day on I’m A Celebrity got off to a bad start as her first challenge went wrong. 

For seven years, Walk The Plank has opened the show with half of camp having to face the terrifying heights of the 314ft Focus building in Surfers Paradise – but this year show bosses have opted for a shakeup, with contestants set to race against each other to make it to camp.   

Yet Loose Women star Jane, 62, found herself on the backfoot on Thursday after she was tasked with completing a parachute jump. 

The 10 celebrities were split into two groups, with Jane on a team with Tulisa Contostavlos, Dean McCullough, Oti Mabuse and Danny Jones who had to complete their first two challenges for Sunday’s launch show. 

The group raced from a million dollar mansion in Queensland to helicopters that flew them 670km North to Byron Bay where they completed a parachute jump. 

Jane Moore’s I’m A Celeb stint got off to a disastrous start as her parachute jump went wrong while filming the entrance for Monday’s launch show 

Unfortunately, Jane’s jump went wrong and she ended up a quarter of a mile down the beach, landing on holiday makers but she insisted she was unharmed by putting her thumb up

Unfortunately, Jane’s jump went wrong and she ended up a quarter of a mile down the beach, landing on holiday makers. 

When one beachgoer asked if she was ok, the mother-of-three insisted she was unharmed by putting her thumb up.

Weather conditions were not idea for a parachute jump, as the sea breeze was so powerful it blew Jane off course.

While she was unharmed, the journalist looked dejected as she made her way over to her team amid bookies’ claims she’ll be the first campmate to quit the show. 

Jane currently has odds of 8/15 to walk, BonusFinder reports, followed by Melvin Odoom at 1/1 and GK Barry at 2/1. 

The day started in the million dollar mansion, Diamond Head, when the stars were spotted running from the house across the grounds to helicopters.

Longtime hosts of the ITV flagship show, Ant and Dec, watched on, having just delivered them instructions of the task ahead.

While half the team had to take on a parachute jump, Coleen Rooney headed up the group waiting on the beach and were joined by Melvin Odoom, Barry McGuigan, GK Barry and Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall.

Jane later rushed over to greet fellow campmates GK Barry and Melvin Odoom 

Weather conditions proved to be a problem for the stars waiting as production staff sheltered them from the blazing Australian sun with umbrellas.

But the wind on the beach was so rough that the umbrellas were blown the wrong way which amused Coleen who was seen by an onlooker laughing about it with her campmates.

Last week it was revealed show bosses had decided to shake up the format by scrapping the iconic Walk The Plank challenge. 

Producers instead planned a brand new entrance for the campmates, promising the task will be ‘equally as terrifying and exhilarating’ 

A source told MailOnline: ‘The new challenge promises to be one of the most exciting ever as some of the campmates will truly be put to the ultimate test before they enter camp which they won’t be expecting.

‘It won’t be an easy ride into camp for the celebrities this year, bosses are pulling out all the stops to ensure the show has a spectacular launch that viewers won’t want to miss.’

This year’s campmates will instead take on an epic race called Snakes & Leaders to kickstart their jungle journey.

Promising to be the most compeтιтive launch ever, the campmates will be instructed to pair up and partake in a number of challenges, competing against their fellow campmates in a bid to cross the finish line first.

It’s all to play for, as throughout the challenges there will be plenty of opportunities to overtake and fight to the finish.

The winning pair will be awarded the coveted тιтle of the first leaders of camp, they’ll be exempt from any chores, will get to sleep in the Leaders’ lodge, and run the camp exactly the way they’d like.

The luxurious Leaders’ Lodge boasts two comfy beds with mattresses, shelter from the rain, as well as plush duvets and pillows guaranteed to keep them warm and snug during their jungle stay.

Stripped of luxuries and creature comforts, stars will have face a string of Bushtucker Trials in a bid to win food for the camp, and only one will leave as the King Or Queen of the Jungle. 

This year I’m A Celebrity have also announced it will be launching a brand new spin-off show called I’m A Celebrity…Unpacked this autumn on ITV2.

The show will be hosted by former jungle star Joel Dommett, 39, Capital radio DJ Kemi Rodgers, 29, and reining King of the jungle Sam Thompson, 32.

During the spin-off show the trio will dissect everything that goes on in camp, before speculating about what may be in store, all the while giving their opinions and taking part in fun debates.

I’m A Celebrity starts on Sunday night at 9pm on ITV
