ITV fined over I'm A Celebrity... jungle rat killing
ITV has been fined 3,000 Australian dollars (£1,672) after contestants on its show, I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, killed and ate a rat.

The fine, for animal cruelty, was issued by the RSPCA in Australia, where the show was filmed last year.

A spokesman for ITV said: "ITV has apologised for the mistake which led to this incident."
