Ant and Dec on whether I'm a Celeb could return to Wales in 2021

Ant and Dec have said they would "happily go back to Wales" for the next series of I'm a Celebrity Get me Out of Here.

The hit show was filmed at Gwrych Castle in Abergele last year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

This marked the first time in the show's history that it wasn't filmed in the Australian jungle.

During an interview with ITV's Lorraine this morning, Ant and Dec said plans for the location of this year's show are still "up in the air" due to coronavirus restrictions.

But the hosts welcomed the idea of returning to Wales for the 21st series of the show.

Dec said: "People are having conversations with Australia to see if they'll let us in and to see if that's going to work. But 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 very welcome, so we'd gladly go back there. But yeah we'll see whether it's Aus or Wales, we're not quite sure yet."

Lorraine said she enjoyed the show being filmed in Wales last year and said "it was a change" that worked well.

Ant said: "It did work and doing it in the castle and having the castle as a backdrop really helped with the challenges and reference points.

"I think all the celebs that were in there absolutely loved it, so yeah we would happily go back to Wales if we had to."

Lorraine airs weekdays on ITV from 9am
