I'm A Celebrity 2020: Spooky Welsh castle ruins rumoured to be UK filming location

Eerie? Check. Moat? Check. In the middle of nowhere and potentially haunted? Check.

Welcome to what could be the I'm A Celebrity stars' new home in November - a spooky Welsh castle; a far cry from the humid Australian jungle camp.

ITV bosses are looking to fully embrace the new, much colder, setting, and Ewloe Castle would be the perfect spot.

Nestled in the dense wood of North Wales, producers are rumoured to be considering the castle as the location for this year's series of I'm A Celeb.

The 13th Century castle is sat near the Wales-England border, near a stream and small lagoon, which could be the ideal place for contestants to have their bath... though bosses will have to take precautions so that celebrities don't end up suffering from hypothermia.

ITV bosses were forced to change the I'm A Celeb venue after struggling to make it work in Australia due to extensive coronavirus restrictions.

Instead of facing Kangaroo testicles and widgety grubs, celebrities will need to face eating a ram's penis.

It has also been reported that celebrities could compete to win hot water in trials - which will definitely encourage them to keep going in the chilly November weather.

The usual camouflaged costumes worn by stars in the jungle will also be given a British winter-style make-over with extra thermals and waterproof materials used to make the outfits.

Following the big news about its confirmed airing later this year, a whole new batch of names have been rumoured for the jungle including Clive Tyldesley, Michelle Visage and John Bercow.

Coronation Street  legend Beverley Callard was the first to apparently officially sign up to the 2020 series, with other possible stars including Strictly Come Dancing's AJ Pritchard and  Manchester United  superstar Eric Cantona.

The Chase star Jenny is rumoured to be following in her co-star Anne Hegerty's footsteps after dropping a major hint on Twitter.
