ITV is looking for people to work on I'm a Celebrity 2020 but you have to be from one of these places

ITV is looking for people to work on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here after its brand new location was confirmed.

It was announced earlier this week that the upcoming series is undergoing a series of major changes, including being filmed at  Gwrych Castle in Abergele, North Wales.

It will also use a farm as an additional site during filming later this year.

It is the first time the ITV reality show has ever been filmed outside of its usual home of Australia but the coronavirus pandemic meant that it wasn't safe to safely host it in its usual place.

And now show bosses are calling for local talent to join the project but you have to be living in one of seven North Wales town or from an English city on the border.

Vacancies for several runner positions have just been advertised online, it's been revealed.

The advertisement was posted on  TV Conwy Community Forum, a Facebook page for media professionals and is believed to be for I'm A Celeb.

There are various contract start dates available, ranging from next week (August 31) to November 2020.

They are looking for people from: Abergele, Llandudno, Conwy, Colwyn Bay, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Wrexham and Chester.

Those who apply must already have six months running experience though, it further states.

And ideally, they should have experience of supporting a crew on location.

To apply, send an email to ITVstudiostalent@itv.com with the subject 'North Wales Runner.'

A cover letter must be included in the email which include the following:

  • your mobile number
  • confirmation of availability
  • confirmation you live within 10 miles of one the areas in the advert
  • any runner credits
  • details of location experience you have as a runner
  • where you heard about the job (specify the job site or group)
  • names and contact details of two references

I'm A Celebrity is set to air on ITV this Autumn.
