OHMYGOSSIP — Gwrych Castle has thanked ITV for the “honour” of hosting ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’, after it was confirmed the show will return to Australia this year.
The reality show has been set in the Welsh castle for the past two years after coronavirus pandemic restrictions made it too tricky to film in the jungle Down Under, and the North Wales charity admits it will “always be grateful” to ITV.
A series of tweets posted on the Gwrych Castle account read: “It was such an honour to host I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! for the last 2 years. As a small charity, we will always be grateful to ITV and I’m A Celebrity for the opportunity to host one of the most watched shows in the UK.
“The show has showcased the true beauty of the Castle to millions of people, and has enabled us to carry out urgent repairs after years of neglect, vandalism and arson. We have a huge amount to do to bring the Castle back to its former glory, but we’re excited for the future!
“We will continue to collaborate with ITV and I’m A Celebrity, and we still have many items and set pieces in place from the past the 2 years such as The Clink, the I’m A Celebrity throne, privy and the telephone box. You can pre-book your tickets via our website. (sic)”
The comments come as ITV have confirmed the show will be heading back to Australia later this year.
They said in a statement: “Returning to its home in Australia after a two-year break, our celebrities will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind as they spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.
“Whoever does end up in the legendary jungle camp will find themselves cut off from the outside world and their fate will be in the hands of viewers who could decide to send them into a dreaded Bushtucker Trial.”
Ant and Dec will return to co-host the show when the 22nd series airs later this year.
What’s more, ITV are planning to reunite former ‘I’m A Celebrity’ favourites on an all-stars series.
They will head to South Africa this summer to film the spin-off, which will be broadcast next year.
