Ant and Dec announce update for the future of ITV's I'm a Celeb

Ant and Dec have given an exciting update on the future of ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here.

The Geordie presenters appeared on BBC's The One Show to chat to Rylan Clark and Alex Jones about their return to the show.

The star-studded reality TV show has been forced to film in Wales for the past two years, due to the impact of the Covid-19 and international travel restrictions.

But Ant and Dec hinted the show could be going back to its Aussie roots when it returns for its 22nd series towards the end of this year.

Alex Jones wasn't shy about asking about the future of the programme as she said: "Now then, I'm A Celebrity, let's go there, because Australia are reopening their borders from Monday, aren't they?

"So is it the castle, or is it the jungle?"

Ant replied: "Well the plan is the jungle."

Welsh presenter Alex glared at him as Dec said: "Nothing against Wales!"

Ant added: "We love Wales! But you know, Australia is [I'm A Celeb's] home and we'd like to get back there - and we can!"

Dec said: ""That's what we're hoping for, touch wood."

Rylan joked that the pair were "looking forward to the holiday" and Ant jokingly replied: "You get a much better tan in New South Wales than you do Wales."
