Ant and Dec say they plan for I'm A Celebrity to return to Australia

Ant and Dec have finally answered the question I'm A Celebrity fans are desperate to know.

For the last two series the popular ITV show has taken place at Gwrych Castle in Wales instead of the Australian jungle due to the "continued uncertainty" around Covid-19 and international travel. But when asked about the 2022 location in a recent interview, the presenting duo confirmed the plan is to return to Australia.

Ant and Dec were quizzed about the upcoming series by The One Show's Alex Jones on Thursday, February 17.

"Now then, I'm A Celebrity, let's go there, because Australia are reopening their borders, aren't they, from Monday" Alex said.

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

"Well the plan is the jungle," Ant confirmed on the BBC show.

"Nothing against Wales," Dec quickly interjected, joking that Welsh presenter Alex had given him "quite a stare".

"We love Wales," Ant continued. "But you know, Australia is its home and we'd like to get back there, and we can!"

Alex responded: "I think it's been really good for a couple of years, but yes, back to the jungle."

"That's what we're hoping for, touch wood," Dec replied,

Rylan then joked the pair were "looking forward to the holiday".

"You get a much better tan in New South Wales than you do Wales," a laughing Ant quipped.
