ITV I'm a Celebrity: Nottingham viewers left split over line-up for 2021 series

I'm A Celebrity is back in full swing for another year in the Welsh castle with plenty of trials and challenges.

For the second year in a row, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is taking place not in the Australian jungle, but at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, North Wales.

This is the 21st series of the ITV reality show, which is presented by Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, and it remains must-watch telly.

Contestants this year include Richard Madeley, Louise Minchin, David Ginola and Dame Arlene Phillips.

But the full line-up has left Nottingham viewers split, with some saying its the strongest it has been in years and others saying they only know one or two stars.

Commenting on Nottinghamshire Live's Facebook page, viewers gave a range of opinions on the line-up this year.

Sarah Roberts said: "Very poor cast this year. I only know 1 person in the show."

Marie Gaskell said: "Everyone moans to start but we soon end up loving the show and getting to know the contestants. I'm so glad it's back on!"

Jonathan Evans wrote: "David Ginola and Richard Madeley only 2 I’ve heard of."

Graham Ward added: "Same complaints every year. This year's has more well known names than recent years."

Von Jebson wrote: "Heard of 4 of them but I don't think it matters that much, don't like it, watch something else." While John Smith said: "Who are they, I only recognise one"

Other stars taking part in the show include Danny Miller, Kadeena Cox, Frankie Bridge, Naughty Boy, Matty Lee and Snoochie Shy.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs weeknights on ITV.
