I'm A Celebrity 2022 details released as ITV officially confirms location

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is returning to Australia this autumn. ITV has officially confirmed the location of the 2022 series after a two-year stint in Wales.

The 2021 and 2020 series of I'm A Celebrity saw the show set up camp in Gwrych Castle. The 200-year-old country house is based in the sea-side town of Abergele in the county of Conwy.

The long-standing show's stint at the castle was due to the coronavirus pandemic, with I'm A Celeb bosses citing "continued uncertainty" around Covid-19 and international travel as the reason. But now ITV has confirmed the series will be heading back to the jungle.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will return as hosts, while the 2022 series will run over three weeks.

ITV said: "Returning to its home in Australia after a two-year break, our celebrities will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind as they spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created just for them.

"Whoever does end up in the legendary jungle camp will find themselves cut off from the outside world and their fate will be in the hands of viewers who could decide to send them into a dreaded Bushtucker Trial.

"Our BAFTA award-winning hosts Ant & Dec are back to present all the big stories live every night. Who will be crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle? Find out this Autumn on ITV." For more showbiz and television stories, get our newsletter here.

Meanwhile, in a post on Facebook, Gwrych Castle's trustees said: "It was such an honour to host I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! for the last two years. As a small charity, we will always be grateful to ITV and I’m A Celebrity for the opportunity to host one of the most-watched shows in the UK.

"The show has showcased the true beauty of the Castle to millions of people, and has enabled us to carry out urgent repairs after years of neglect, vandalism and arson. We have a huge amount to do to bring the Castle back to its former glory, but we’re excited for the Castle’s future."
