ITV shares first look inside the new I’m A Celeb camp in North Wales

ITV has shared the first look at what the new I’m A Celeb campsite will be like…

The set has been reimagined as it moves from Down Under to the castle ruins in Abergele, Wales, due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

The show has a huge following, with fans waiting all year for the new series and getting very excited when the famous Geordie duo of Ant and Dec finally grace our TV screens.

Now, they’ve been given a first glimpse of what the new campsite will look like.

This year, contestants heading to the camp include athlete Sir Mo Farah, Coronation Street star Beverley Callard and journalist Victoria Derbyshire.

Production teams are said to have been at the site for several weeks now, transforming the derelict 19th century Grade-1-listed manor into the set of the show.

Executive producer Tom Gould said: “Once we decided and committed to doing this, it has been a real labour of love and a chance to reimagine and reinvent the show, but also keep the parts of it we know viewers know and love and recognise.”

The castle will have some indoor areas that will provide respite from the harsh Welsh winter weather. But campmates will still be expected to keep on top of their fire to keep warm, including chopping logs.

They will be getting their night’s kip inside the castle in either a hammock or iron bed with thin mattress, surrounded by ivy, moss and probably some disgusting creepy crawlies. 

There will be a large fireplace for the camp to gather around and cook their meals.

A little bit different from the jungle waterfall shower, they will be heading to a hand-operated shower with a tin bathtub providing the water. 

For trials, campmates will head down an impressive stone staircase, lined with lanterns to meet Ant and Dec. 

The trials themselves will take place in various locations across the castle grounds, including the dungeons and the crypt. 

Fans will recognise some familiar elements from the TV show, including Kiosk Kev’s long-lost Welsh cousin Kiosk Cledwyn.

This year, campmates will be competing for Castle Coins and will be using the famous red telephone box to answer the questions.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! starts this Sunday, November 15th, at 9pm on ITV.

Who’s excited?!?
