Which castle is used in I’m a Celebrity 2020?

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! viewers have been given a first look inside the show’s new home at Gwrych Castle.

The reality series returns on Sunday (15 November), but rather than heading to the Australian jungle, our group of 10 celebrities will instead be shacking up in an abandoned castle in north Wales that’s said to be haunted.

The new set of photos show a dark and cold-looking setting which seems to be anything but comfortable.

Inside the camp, the contestants will have to fight between themselves to see who gets to sleep in one of the two hammocks, with the rest sleeping on bare single beds.

The bathroom facilities are also still pretty simple, with the campmates using an outside privy which will still need to be emptied every day.

To keep clean, they’ll have to use the washroom which includes a basic shower that a friend will operate.

The contestants will also have to tend to the boiler to get 30 minutes of warm water twice a day, or else they’ll be forced to wash in the cold.

A large outdoor courtyard is the main space the campmates will spend time in when they’re not doing challenges. For the challenges, they’ll have to walk down a long marble staircase, replacing the rickety bridge.

These challenges will be filmed at night after the live show has finished, with the torches lit to lead them the way.

Some things have remained the same though: the red telephone box is still there, which will allow Kiosk Cledwyn – the Kiosk Kev’s long-lost Welsh cousin – to ring with his questions for the Castle Coin Challenge.

Their coins can then be exchanged at Ye Olde Shoppe, which was known as the Outback Shack in previous seasons.

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! starts Sunday 15 November at 8pm on ITV.
