I'm A Celebrity location still 'up in the air' as Ant and Dec reveal discussions are on-going

Ant and Dec have revealed that the location of I'm A Celebrity 2021 is still very much 'up in the air' with conversations going on behind the scenes.

Last year the hit ITV show was massively affected by the coronavirus pandemic, with bosses having to switch production from Australia, where it had been filmed since 2002, to a castle in North Wales.

The move from the jungle to a freezing cold Gwrych Castle in Abergele didn't put viewers off, with huge audiences tuning in once again to watch Giovanna Fletcher crowned the show's first ever Queen of the Castle.

And, appearing on Thursday's Lorraine, I'm A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec didn't rule out a return to Abergele this year.

During an interview which saw Dec's dog cause chaos, Lorraine asked them: "You don't know if you're going to be in Wales or allowed back to Australia?" to which Dec replied: "it's still up in the air at the moment.

"We're having conversations, well we're not, people are having conversations with Australia to see if they'll let us in and to see if that would work.

"If not we've got a lovely alternative to go back to Wales. We had a great time and a lovely series.

"The people of North Wales made us feel very welcome and we'd gladly go back.

"Whether it's Australia or Wales, we're not sure yet."

Lorraine replied: "It doesn't matter. Wherever it is, it'll be a great show!"

The ITV presenter also quizzed Ant and Dec on rumours that former GMB host Piers Morgan could be on the line up this year, with Ant responding: "Well he's not working at the moment, so if he's looking for a job!"

Laughing away, Lorraine answered: "I think he would be amazing in there!"
