Ant and Dec staying in 'luxury cottages' while filming I'm a Celebrity

If you were wondering where Ant and Dec were staying while filming I'm a Celebrity at Gwrych Castle in North Wales, the secret may be out.

There had been rumours that they would be based at Bodysgallen Hall in Llandudno.

It had been tipped as a suitable alternative to the Palazzo Versace hotel in Australia - where the hosts and the participating celebrities usually stay when the show is filmed down under.

The Daily Mail, however, has now reported that the Geordie presenters are actually living in cottages close to Snowdonia while they film for the reality series at Gwrych Castle, reports North Wales Live.

Photos obtained by the outlet appear to show Ant out around the secluded local property.

It comes after locals said they’d seen the 45-year-old on a beach in Penmaenmawr recently, sparking renewed speculation that he was actually staying in the Conwy village.

North Wales Live said it understood that a public footpath leading to the private cottages - said to be housing the presenters and their families - was found closed off last week.

The local accommodation appears secluded, tucked away from the rest of the surroundings.

And a source suggested to the Daily Mail that Ant and Dec had been advised to remain inside the property, located near a fishing lake, as much as possible.

They said: “If either came into contact with the public, it could risk the whole show being affected.”

The renewed rumour comes after Ant was seen with girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett at the Mulberry pub near Conwy Marina earlier this month, posing with staff for pictures at the business.

The new series of I’m a Celebrity, filmed at Gwrych Castle, continues on ITV.
