I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! bosses are said to be planning a return to Wales despite fans desperate for the show to go back to Australia.
Gwrych Castle has reportedly agreed not to take any bookings for this time next year as ITV chiefs weigh up the situation.
Covid rules are beginning to loosen in Australia and bosses wanted to return Down Under however in light of the current Omicron surge, things are still very precarious.
The show has been filmed in Wales for the last two years and despite the initial novelty of a new location, fans want a return to the jungle, saying the castle is 'too easy'.
Some went so far as to suggest the series was postponed next year rather than return to Wales.
There's also the small issue of the weather which shut down production for the first time in the show's history following Storm Arwen.
But sources now says it's highly likely the show will return to Gwrych Castle for at least one more year.
An ITV source told The Sun: “At the moment it is pretty much nailed on for a third year in the castle. Australia is opening up but could also snap shut at any time depending on how things go so that situation is far from being on an even footing.
“The executives are happy to stick with Gwyrch Castle for another year and then after that the show might finally get back Down Under.
“But the viewers are understanding because Australia is super-strict so they know that getting back to Oz isn’t really feasible at the moment."
The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment.
Following the this year's final, the castle released a statement that read: "We'd like to thank ITV and I'm A Celebrity for returning to Gwrych Castle for the second year in a row.
“It's not been an easy ride for yourselves with the pandemic and most recently the storm to deal with, but we'll be forever grateful for your support and hard work."
The show certainly had its fair share of drama with Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley having to quit after breaking the Covid bubble.
The veteran TV host fell ill during the night and was rushed to hospital.
Despite being given a clean bill of health he was forced to hang up his fleece after breaking ITV’s Covid bubble policy meaning he had to leave the camp, disappointing fans of the show.
