For nineteen seasons, I’m a Celebrity was synonymous with the Australian outback. However, the COVID-19 pandemic made international travel impossible. The production’s move to Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales, transformed the show’s identity. The sweltering heat was replaced by damp stone walls and thermals, and the "Bushtucker Trials" had to be reimagined for a British autumn.
The production of I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! involves a large team of producers, camera operators, and other crew members. The show is filmed in a remote location, typically in a jungle or a wilderness area. The celebrities are provided with basic living conditions, including food, shelter, and medical care. However, they are also subjected to various challenges and trials, which are designed to test their endurance and resilience.
The season was filmed in Springbrook National Park, near Murwillumbah, New South Wales, Australia.
