I'm A Celebrity 2021 is back and ITV viewers are enjoying watching this year's line-up take on trials and challenges in Gwrych Castle in Wales.
This year the castle has two camps, Main Camp which we saw in 2020 and The Clink, where Richard Madeley, Danny Miller, Naughty Boy, David Ginola and Dame Arelene Phillips have been banished. You can read more of the key changes made to this year's series here.
Celebrities in The Clink are on basic rations and have to sleep on a hard floor.

Upon entering The Clink, former Strictly Come Dancing judge Arlene said: "Oh my, we are open to the elements, let's hope it doesn't rain.
"This is basic. I didn't think it was going to be this bad. I'm about to sleep in probably the single worse bed and place that I have come across in all my 78 years."
Viewers took to social media after hearing Arlene's age, with one writing: "Sorry, but how is Arlene Phillips 78?!"
And another adding: "I can't believe Arlene Phillips is 78 years old!! Absolute madness #ImACeleb"
While a third commented: "I'm sorry but I am absolutely gobsmacked that Arlene Phillips is 78 #ImACeleb"
At 78, Dame Arlene Phillips is I'm A Celebrity's oldest ever contestant.
Stanley Johnson was 77 when he appeared on the show in 2017 and Harry Redknapp was 72 when he took part - and won- in 2018.
Speaking prior to going into the castle, Arlene said: "I still can't believe I am doing it but I love and admire everybody who has done the show, I admire their bravery and I have spoken to so many people who have done it.
"Everyone has loved the experience and told me how it has added something new to their lives and that is why I have said yes this year after being approached before."
Reflecting on how she will cope doing the trials, she added: "Spiders, all those things you find on I'm A Celebrity – I don't like them but I have this great fantasy that I can put myself in a place that will deal with it all."
Arlene also discussed her age, explaining: "I am always the oldest and so I am used to it."
I'm A Celebrity continues tonight on ITV.
