I’m A Celeb set to return to Wales for the 3rd time in 2022

I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2021 may not have aired yet, but producers are already looking ahead to next year’s series. According to a report by The Sun, the team behind the show are ‘in talks’ for the show to be filmed at Gwrych Castle for the third year running, as it’s feared Australia still won’t be open for filming.

An insider said:

This time last year, the prospect of I'm A Celebrity not returning to Australia and having to return to the castle seemed slim. Now the show is going back to Gwrych after ITV had the foresight to reserve is for a second series - and they want to make sure they're equally prepared for the worst in 2022.

They continued:

Going back to Oz is still the goal. But this is about bosses taking every step possible to ensure Britain's favourite TV show stays on our screens. So they're likely to approach the castle owners imminently.

I'm A Celeb Wales

Despite the location change, last year’s series filmed in Wales was the second-most popular I’m A Celeb series ever. Bosses will be hoping to replicate that success this year as they return to the castle setting. Unlike last year—which featured a highlights show on Saturdays—this year’s series will be full-length and feature live shows every night.
