ITV I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! winner Giovanna Fletcher will not return to the castle for the handover of her crown.
Giovanna was crowned Queen of the Jungle last year, the first series of the show which was filmed in Abergele, in Wales, reports Birmingham Live.
ITV I'm A Celebrity fans saw Giovanni join a long list of female winners - including Jac Jossa, Vicky Pattison, Scarlett Moffatt, Stacey Solomon and more.
A source told the Sun newspaper: “ITV would have loved to have Giovanna back, she was a hugely popular winner last year.
"But due to Covid rules — even with the show coming to an end on Sunday — it was decided they couldn’t take the risk without her isolating, which is a lot to ask for a one-minute cameo.”
After her win, Giovanna said: “I can’t believe it, people have literally picked up their phone and voted. I can’t believe it.
“It’s been the most amazing experience.”
The programme had to relocate from its usual home in the Australian jungle due to the pandemic, and has made the decision to do so once again this year.
Ant and Dec hosted last year's series and ended the programme in 2020 by thanking Wales for playing host to the show.
They also told fans to “stay safe”, and have returned to the community this year with a new batch of stars.
