How will I'm a Celebrity be different this year?
Due to lockdown restrictions, filming in Australia hasn't been possible so the new series will be filmed in a stunning castle in North Wales. However, just like the usual series, celebrities will be undertaking gruelling trials and nightmare challenges to win food and treats. This time, instead of becoming King of Queen of the Jungle, they will be crowned as Queen or King of the Castle!
Ant and Dec will be presenting the show in Wales
Richard Cowles, Director of Entertainment at ITV Studios said: “We are all really excited about a UK version of I’m A Celebrity. While it will certainly be different producing the show from the UK, the same tone and feel will remain.
"Our celebrities will probably have to swap shorts for thermals but they can still look forward to a basic diet of rice and beans and plenty of thrills and surprises along the way."
Is there an I'm a Celebrity trailer?
Ant and Dec are the stars in a series of trailers for the upcoming series based at Gwrych Castle. Unfortunately for the boys though, it looks like they haven't received the memo that they're not in Australia this time around! In the latest trailer, our favourite telly duo continues their journey to the castle, and decide to call Kiosk Kev for directions. Of course, they don't get the response they were hoping for!
