Makes a change from the jungle!

I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here will be filmed in the UK countryside this year.

ITV has confirmed that the Coronavirus pandemic meant they can't travel to Australia to film the show this year.

Instead of the heat of the jungle, celebs will be put through their paces in rural Britain. The broadcaster said that it "just wasn't possible for us to travel and make the show" Down Under as planned.

It also means that the infamous Bushtucker trials are out. However, ITV has insisted there'll still be similar "gruelling trials and fun-filled challenges".

The exact location has yet to be revealed with ITV simply saying it'll be in the countryside.

ITV Studios director of entertainment, Richard Cowles told BBC News that:

"Unfortunately, due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and despite us looking at many different contingencies, it became apparent that it just wasn't possible for us to travel and make the show there [in Australia]".

"However, we are all really excited about a UK version of I'm A Celebrity. While it will certainly be different producing the show from the UK, the same tone and feel will remain."

Ant and Dec will be back to present the series with the eventual winner set to be crowned the king or queen of the castle, instead of the jungle.
