Ant McPartlin and and Declan Donnelly have been warned by Welsh locals to not make jokes about sheep sex when filming the new series of I’m A Celeb.
Producers of the ITV show have decided to relocate it to Gwrych Castle in Conwy, north Wales, instead of the usual Australian outback due to the coronavirus crisis in the country.
And the ITV favourite is set to begin filming in the next few weeks.
But residents of Abergele, north Wales have now issued light-hearted advice on Welsh speaking news website nation.cymru – asking all ‘sheep s***ging’ jokes are banned.
A news article on the site, which describes itself as a news service by the people of Wales for the people of Wales, asks the duo and producers to not poke fun at the Welsh language.
And it also asks they make no reference to Welsh people being “backward” and to not discuss how difficult it is to pronounce some Welsh place names.

The article reads: “Welcome to Wales, I’m a Celebrity – please don’t make any c**p jokes about sheep and the Welsh language.
“Your crew is sure to get a very warm welcome. This could be an excellent opportunity to show off what Wales has to offer to a large audience.
“So, please ITV, don’t ruin it now! I’m sure that as your writers gather around the table and dust off their laptops to sketch out the bones of this Autumn’s new series, a few obvious jokes will present themselves.

“These jokes will involve the un-pronounceability of Welsh place names, the dangers of ‘backwards’ rural Welsh people, and lots of sexual promiscuity surrounding sheep.
“First of all, Wales is a funny place and we do like telling jokes about ourselves. We have no problem with good, original gags, even if they are taking the p*** a little bit.
“There are also some jokes that are very tired and we’ve heard a million times, but are acceptable. Yes, it is a scientifically meteorological fact that it does rain a lot in the north of Wales.

“Yes, although we will sigh and roll your eyes, you can say ‘What’s occurin’?’ and make jokes about Tom Jones. Hell, you’ve probably already lined Ruth Jones and Sir Tom up to appear on the show.
“We do like our rugby, although there’s generally less interest in the north of Wales where you’re going to be filming.”
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is potentially set to be in crisis after Wales introduce new lockdown measures that will prohibit ‘bubbles’ and group gatherings.
Only recently, it had been announced that the show would go on.
The news that Wales have now amended their own government guidelines, will no doubt land as a low blow for producers of the show.
The new rules stipulate for Conwy “people will no longer be able to form, or be in, an extended household (sometimes called a bubble)”.
But sources say ITV are working hard and battling to keep the show on air, The Sun reported.
