I'm A Celebrity 'set for spectacular jungle return as Aussie government give approval'

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! looks set for an epic Australian jungle return this year.

According to reports, the Australian government have given the go-ahead to producers of the show for filming to resume as normal this Autumn.

A source close to the show optimistically claimed the signs are "pointing towards a return to the jungle".

The reality showed was filmed at Gwrych Castle in Wales last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, but it appears things are looking up this year, with hopes that the cast and crew can return Down Under.

According to The Sun, Oz border chiefs there have told ITV the relevant clearances will be provided for them.

"Everyone is delighted with this news. All the signs are now pointing towards a return to the jungle," a border force source told the publication.

"As great as a year in the castle was, the show is made by its surroundings and the glitz and glamour of the jungle.

"ITV have assurances from Australian border control bosses that even if a wider travel ban is still in place for tourists, they'll get the paperwork and clearance they need to send cast and crew to Oz. It's a big moment."

A spokesperson for ITV told the Mirror: "No final decision has yet been made regarding the location for the new series."

Last year, the series saw a whole host of celebrities take part in the competition which ended up relocating to Wales.

It went down a hit with fans, but there's no doubt viewers are missing the original jungle location.
