I'm A Celebrity 2021 weather warning as heavy rain and 54mph winds to hit camp in Gwrych Castle

I'm A Celebrity.... Get Me Out Of Here! is preparing to return to Wales next month.

Earlier this year ITV confirmed the long-running series would be returning to Gwrych Castle in Abergele and not the Australian Jungle due to the "continued uncertainty" around Covid-19 and international travel.

And while a start date is yet to be announced, based on last year's series things should be kicking off around November 14.

But long-range weather forecasts suggest that as well as being cold for the time of year, as expected, it could also be very wet and windy in camp.

Weather experts have predicted that part of the country will see half an inch of rain fall and 54mph winds could batter the Grade I listed 19th-century country house.

The weather forecast also suggests that there will be 100% cloud cover and the temperature could struggle to get above zero, reports The Mirror.

According to The Sun, the area could also be affected by heavy rainfall in the first two weeks.

It comes after 2020 runner-up Jordan North shared the stark reality of camp in Wales.

The radio DJ believes Gwrych Castle in Abergele poses tougher challenges than the Australian jungle.

Speaking to Vick Hope on the BBC Radio 1 drivetime show, the 31-year-old said: "I think the castle is totally different to the jungle.

"I think it is harder, I really do. In the jungle, you can sit around in the sun all day when you are not doing much, the jungle is a beautiful environment."

He continued: "I am not saying Wales isn't beautiful but that castle is cold. It is cold, it is damp, it is dark.

"It was awful. I think it is a lot harder. I think it is a bit more sinister, the trials feel more dark, more sinister." You can read more on what Jordan said here.
