She asked for the rail after finding it hard to get in and out of the bathtub.
It will be hidden by the washroom’s mangy shower curtain at Gwrych Castle.
Bev, who played Corrie’s Liz McDonald for 31 years and is this year’s oldest contestant, had a full hip replacement earlier this year.
A source said: “Beverley is a real fighter and is putting on a brave face. But she’s in a bit of pain still.
“She expressed a few concerns — producers said they’d add a rail or a handle to make it easier.
“The last thing they want is her worrying, or worse taking a tumble.
“She’s battled hard to even get to this point, so she’s not letting anything get in her way now.”
Bev initially feared her painful hip injury would put her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life and her appearance in in this year’s ITV show was in doubt.

To get fit for the ordeal she needed daily physio and hydrotherapy and was on crutches for a long time.
Before she went into the castle she told The Sun: “If I hear that voice saying Beverley can’t do this, because of medical reasons. I will die.
“I will say, ‘No, I’m doing it’. The only thing they said I couldn’t do was bungee jumping. Everything else I can do and will want to.”
