Work to prepare Gwrych Castle ahead of the new series of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here is starting to get underway today.
The Abergele location has once again been chosen for ITV's top performing show with Ant and Dec which will be on our screens in late Autumn.
A number of weeks ago the castle applied to Conwy Council for planning permission to make some alterations to the site and these were granted so the work can take place in the weeks ahead of the film crews returning.
Despite the work, the castle will remain open to visitors from 10am - 5pm daily but only to those who have pre-booked online. A further announcement on when the Gwrych Castle will close is expected to be made shortly.
Dr Mark Baker, Chair of the Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust said “I’m absolutely delighted that I’m A Celebrity has chosen Gwrych Castle to be its UK location for the 2021 series.
Gwrych Castle is a beautiful grade I listed historic house and a must-see destination for tourists visiting Wales. I’m A Celebrity being here will really help support its ongoing restoration as well as giving the region a much-needed economic boost. We are all very excited to be working with the team again.”
The Welsh Government's Deputy Minister for Arts and Sport, Dawn Bowden, said: “This is excellent news and we look forward to welcoming the I’m a Celebrity team back to Wales this year, and to working with them to make it an even better year! Croeso nol! Welcome back!”
