With the fantastic news, earlier this year that I’m A Celebrity is returning to Gwrych Castle in Abergele this month, the news is now going around of the “confirmed” list of celebrities taking part in I’m A Celebrity 2021.
The show which is produced by Lifted Entertainment, part of ITV Studios, will be hosted by Ant & Dec and broadcast live every night from the ruined castle, as a brand new cast of celebrities adjust to their new surroundings.
It’s not only fantastic news for the show that it is happening, but also that it is returning to the wonderful castle that sits looking out over Abergele, this means that it will yet again be a boost to the town and no doubt that the townsfolk and shops will get “get me out of here” crazy again with giant bugs adorning the shops’ walls and the play on the show’s title in the shop windows.
Last year’s series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!, which ran on Sunday 15 November at 9 pm, pulled in an audience of 13.8m TV viewers [52% audience share] over the first seven days of its availability. With 0.5m viewers watching via non-TV devices, the total reached 14.3m viewers.
