I'm A Celebrity final set to look very different as ITV make format change

I'm A Celebrity will air the final of the 2020 series tonight, but the last episode is set to look pretty different.

In a big break from tradition, the evicted campmates of this year's show won't be returning to Gwrych Castle to see who gets crowned the King or Queen of the Castle.

In fact, the celebrities from this year's show won't be seen on screen together again, but their exit from camp and post I'm A Celeb interviews will be aired on I'm A Celebrity... A Castle Story next week.

Given the current climate, the change shouldn't come as much of a surprise, but it will be very strange for those who are familiar with the show.

In past years the contestants are always invited back to camp to see the final campmate crowned.

An ITV source told Chronicle Live : "We never had any plans for the celebs to reappear on tonight's show.

"We do have I'm A Celebrity...A Castle Story on next Sunday - celebs chat post exit, best bits etc."

Upon getting voted out, the evicted celebrities have been driven to a swanky hotel in Cheshire for one night only before travelling home. You can read more about the hotel they stay at here.

In another big change, family and friends haven't been able to be at the castle to greet the contestants when they leave.

Bosses also scrapped plans to have previous contestants to go into surprise the campmates as part of a task.

The I'm A Celebrity. final airs tonight at 9pm on ITV.
