The nights are getting longer and darker —meaning only one thing — ITV’s ‘I’m a Celebrity’ will be hitting our screens in no time.
Ant and Dec will be returning for the 21st series after nearly two decades presenting the iconic show.
Famously filmed in the Australian jungle, last years’ show was filmed in a welsh castle due to the pandemic and travel restrictions.
But where will it be filmed this year, and which celebs will be joining Ant and Dec for another series?

As the new series edges closer we’re all wondering who will be cast to join the celebrity line up.
Boyzone star Keith Duffy was strongly linked to the 2020 series, so some believe he’ll be on the show this time around.
Other rumours include Line of Duty’s Anna Maxwell, Gogglebox star Tom Malone, and retired footballer John Barnes — all of which have shown an interest in taking part.
Who won I’m A Celebrity 2020?
The 20th series was won by author and podcaster Giovanna Fletcher — wife of Tom Fletcher — who is currently appearing on Strictly Come Dancing.
“I can categorically say that being part of @imacelebrity was a career highlight and I’m so grateful for the love that has been thrown my way in the last few weeks,” she wrote alongside an Instagram photo following her win.
“I’m blown away and not regretful in the slightest. As a mother I’ll always be juggling family life and work – but I’m also very excited about what the future holds.”
