Ant and Dec fuel rumours I’m A Celebrity is returning to Wales for 2021 as they say they ‘won’t miss the jetlag’ from Oz

ANT and Dec have fuelled rumours I'm A Celebrity is returning to Wales in 2021 – saying they "won’t miss the jetlag" from Oz.

The hit show welcomed a change of scenery last year, swapping out the Australian jungle for the UK countryside due to coronavirus travel restrictions.

Speaking to , the presenting duo floated the idea of heading to Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales, to film I’m a Celebrity once more.

Show host Ant, 45, said he'd be "very happy" to stay within the UK, but admitted he'd miss the weather Down Under.

He said: "If during coronavirus we have to stay put and do it in Wales again, I’d be very happy.

"We were very welcomed in Wales. There were cardboard cut-outs of me and Dec in the butcher’s, and the local school did a tribute. We’d happily go back there. We’d miss the sunshine, mind.”

Also taking a diplomatic stand, his co-host remarked: "The people in Wales were lovely. They made us feel very welcome. I had a lovely time. I will miss the sunshine, but I will not miss the jetlag of coming back from Australia.

"I’d love to go back to Oz. But if we had to go back to Wales, I wouldn’t be disappointed."

The last series of the show was won by podcast host and author, Giovanna Fletcher.
