I'm a Celeb 2020 - All you need to know

Sophie Naylor

Everything that we need to about this year’s ‘I’m a Celebrity’ has finally been revealed. Fans of the beloved British TV show can expect something very different this year though, as the chosen celebrities are swapping out the hot Australian jungle for the Welsh countryside, confirmed by producers in early August.


The show is set to take place at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, North Wales.


Despite changes due to covid-19, fans have been assured that it will still be the same entertaining reality TV that it always is. ITV Studios' director of entertainment Richard Cowles revealed that “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.” He went on to say that "The Australian jungle is such an integral part of the show [and] it was a big challenge to find a UK location where we could continue to deliver what viewers love about I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!"


The only thing that seems to be different this year is the location, with producers explaining that the celebrities will still have it rough. The usual diet of rice and beans isn’t changing and a nearby farm has been booked for the show, which is home to llamas, meerkats and a reptile hut. Hopefully the creepy crawlies will be making a return this year too.


The show also welcomes back host Ant this year, who will be back hosting alongside Dec to commentate the live show each night.



Like usual, the show is finally returning to our screens in November, on the 15th to be exact, so make sure to have your cuppa and blanket ready.


The shows full line-up for this year was announced on Sunday, November 8th. The first 10 to be thrown into the UK countryside include a few iconic soap actors and even an Olympic champion.


Here’s who will be braving the upcoming Bushtucker trials: Vernon Kay, Victoria Derbyshire, Jordan North, Sir Mo Farah CBE, Beverly Callard, Giovanna Fletcher, AJ Pritchard, Shane Richie, Hollie Arnold and Jessica Plummer.
