However, this year the show will take place from Gwrych Castle in North Wales.

The series is still expected to run for three weeks.

Since the summer, ITV production crew have been working at the castle to make it fit for the celebrities to stay in as well as preparing all of the terrifying challenges they’ll have to face.

Wales is in the midst of its two-week ‘firebreak’ lockdown, which is expected to end on 9 November, but I’m A Celeb’s crew have been permitted to continue working on the site.

Celebrities rumoured to be heading into the castle this year are Vernon Kay, Sir Mo Farah, AJ Pritchard and Shane Ritchie.

The celebs are believed to be in isolation at the moment, in preparation for the series.
