I’m a Celeb 2021: Sneak peak into the castle ahead of show

I’m A Celebrity bosses have vowed to make the show the toughest test this year with the most gruesome trials ever in a single series – and a prison where the stars will be forced to sleep on the floor.

Last year when the hit series relocated to North Wales some fans claimed the trials were easier and camp conditions were not harsh enough, meaning the celebs had plenty of food and did not suffer.

So ITV will now pile on the pressure by splitting the 10 celebrities into two teams – and will throw a losing team into The Clink which will mean a week of living in a medieval prison.

The opening of the series this weekend will involve team games and a trial called Turrets of Terror in two specially made castle turrets in the grounds of Gwrych Castle. And no celebrity will want to be on the losing side.

Creative Director Tom Gould said: “The results will lead to half of them winning a place in the main camp and the other half of losing celebrities will have to endure a stay in The Clink.

“If you end up in there it is obviously a smaller area and most of daily life will be outside in a tiny courtyard.

“They will sleep inside but on the floor and there will be a very basic shower. Everything else, cooking, cleaning, all the chores will be outside so a lot colder down here as they are a lot more exposed.

“The main camp hasn’t changed much at all, it was as we wanted it to be. The biggest change for us is The Clink and it will change the dynamic at the start of the series. Last year they were a group of ten from day one and it has an impact on the show. It just adds a different dynamic.”

The Turrets of Terror is just the beginning when it comes to trials though, as bosses are keen to make sure no one can hide and get away without taking part or facing their fears. To ensure it is harder they have increased the number of trials by around 20 percent.

Executive Producer Olly Nash said: “This year we did set out at the beginning to make it much tougher. They are in for longer(show duration), the trials are bigger. The trials were limited last year and this time they are much closer to the Australian series in terms of scale.

“Absolutely they are harder and bigger and there are more trials over the series than ever before and more trialists taking part in terms of celebrities. That was the learnings of having one series here.

“We have 24 trials this year, I think normally it is closer to 20 in a full series, it is the most ever and absolutely the most celebrities taking part.”

The other returning features from last year include fire pits outside where people can gather to chat and a shower in the main camp which needs a second person to pump the water.

Contestants, which include sportsman David Ginola and TV host Louise Minchin, will also take part in Castle Coin challenges to try to win treats from grumpy shopkeeper Cledwyn in the castle Kiosk. Ant and Dec will once again host the series, which kicks off on ITV on Sunday night at 9pm.
