Where is I'm a Celebrity taking place this year?
ITV have confirmed that due to ongoing difficulties surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, the cast and crew will not be heading Down Under this year.
Instead, the show will be once again filmed at Gwrych Castle – the location for the 2020 series. The Mirror revealed the news and claimed that the decision to keep the show in Wales is due to the logistics of sending a production team, celebrity contestants, presenters and their families over to the other side of the world with the current travel restrictions that are in place.
When is I'm a Celebrity 2021 out?
ITV are yet to announce an official start date for this year's show, however, fans can expect it in the winter months – similar to previous years. Last year, the first episode aired on Sunday 15 November, so it's likely the upcoming series will also air around mid-November, we'll keep you posted!

What else is there to know about I'm a Celebrity 2021?
Ant and Dec will be back once again to front the show and are clearly looking forward to it. Although the presenting duo are used to heading to Australia every year to film the programme, the pair were big fans of filming in Wales.
Dec previously told Metro: "People are having conversations with Australia to see if they'll let us in, and to see if that's going to work... If not, we've got a lovely alternative to go back to Wales, which we had a great time there."
"We had a really lovely series and the people of North Wales made us feel very welcome. We’d gladly go back there." Ant added: "We would happily go back to Wales if we had to. There were cardboard cut-outs of me and Dec in the butcher's, and the local school did a tribute."
