As many of you that read the articles here on Blazing Minds, we have been posting about I’m A Celebrity 2020 that is taking place at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, North Wales, the cast for this year’s show was announced on I’m A Celebrity…A Jungle Story.
So let’s start that there was a lot speculation and nothing had been confirmed from ITV right up until the show on Sunday night on ITV of official names for the I’m A Celebrity cast members for the new season that due to the Coronavirus Pandemic will be happening in the UK at Gwrych Castle, we already saw Ant and Dec making their way “North” in some rather funny ITV promos and it won’t be long before the show hits out TV screens.
We’ve all seen those articles flying around the newspapers with the now-famous quote, “a source told The S*n“, but here at Blazing Minds we like to do our research and we tried to figure out who was going to be in the I’m A Celebrity Gwrych Castle Camp, but after checking out IMDB for the show for a possible start date we did notice that they had started adding names for Episode #20.1!
Intrigued by this, we thought maybe these names were confirmed for the show or could they be red herrings or even names that people have added onto the database themselves after hearing all the gossip.

There was also gossip that footballing legend Vinnie Jones would be at the castle as part of the celebrity 2020 cast, but again Vinnie also posted up about the the gossip on his Instagram.
As mentioned earlier the official I’m A Celebrity cast members could be anyone, but when it comes to IMDB they are usually hot of not adding the incorrect information, but with any information prior to the show take it with a pinch of salt and we will soon see when the official announcement comes who are the celebrities entering the Gwrych Castle Camp.
The wonderful Gwrych Castle which is only down the road from me is going to be the venue for this year’s very popular reality TV show, the castle which I spent many a day at during my childhood is situated in a tree-lined hillside overlooking the Irish Sea. The atmospheric and spooky ruined castle with its sprawling design and turrets is spread across 250 acres of gardens and grounds.
The adapted version of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! will still be hosted by Ant & Dec and will go live every night on ITV from the castle this Autumn. As on the regular reality TV series, viewers will see the celebrities undertake gruelling trials and fun-filled challenges to win food and treats in the lead up to one of them being crowned, for the first time ever, King or Queen of the Castle.
I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here starts 15th November so there’s not long to wait now.
