I'm A Celebrity's Beverley Callard has brutal dig at Donald Trump as contestants enter castle

I'm A Celebrity's Beverley Callard wasted no time in having a dig at Donald Trump as the new series kicked off in Wales.

The hit ITV show has been forced to leave its usual home of Australia for the first time in its 18 year history this time round, moving location to Gwrych Castle in Abergele, north Wales.

Filming got underway on Friday afternoon, with helicopters spotted hovering over the castle, as the likes of Vernon Kay, Shane Richie and Jessica Plummer began their stint on the show.

Joining them on I'm A Celebrity 2020 is the woman better known to millions of Coronation Street fans as Liz McDonald, actress Beverley Callard.

And, as they got used to their spooky new surroundings, Beverley made a quip about Trump, who is of course still licking his wounds after his US Election loss to Joe Biden.

The castle's washroom has already caused some consternation amongst the campmates.

"I've never seen a more . .. basic is putting it nicely . . horrific bathroom" complained Jordan.

"The washroom. First of all its minging. It needs a really good clean. Well I'm sorry but no," Beverley fumed, before adding: "My hair. I will look like I've had Donald Trump's hairdresser!"

This year's I'm A Celebrity lineup have already had their first trial, with The Gates of Hell, giving them a torrid start to the new series as hosts Ant and Dec looked on as the celebs were covered in all sorts of creepy crawlies as they tried to win meals.

To find out how they got on and to get a first look at the Game of Thrones-style castle, tune into I'm A Celebrity on Sunday night on ITV.
