With the Coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, it's now been revealed that this year's contestants on I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here will have to self-isolate to avoid any positive cases before entering the castle.

The show, which is due to return in November with Ant and Dec, will return to Gwrych Castle in North Wales again this year, following the successful series back in 2020.

Although ITV bosses are yet to confirm which famous faces will take part this year, it has now been revealed they'll be forced to self-isolate for two weeks before they travel to North Wales.

A spokesperson told Metro.co.uk that this year's celebs will undergo regular testing within their quarantine period, before they form bubbles during filming for the show.

Check out all of the rumoured celebs for I'm A Celebrity 2021:

Su-Elise Nash

Mis-Teeq singer Su-Elise Nash is reportedly set to follow in the footsteps of her band mate Sabrina Washington, who appeared in 2009. A source said: "Su was incredibly supportive of ­Sabrina's jungle experience and now she could get her own shot. There have been early talks for her to be considered. The reunion has reminded everyone just how much love there still is for Mis-Teeq."

Jeremy Clarkson

Thanks to the success of Clarkson's Farm, rumours were rife that Jeremy Clarkson is in demand with reality TV shows, with I'm A Celeb reportedly top of the list!

Jools Oliver

When hosts Ant and Dec invited TV chef Jamie Oliver to appear on the show, he quickly declined, saying: "Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I'm A Celeb. "I think it's an amazing show, but honestly, you couldn't give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo's a--e, no way."


However, he did nominate his wife Jools, adding: "But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools."

Nick Ferrari

Reports suggested bosses were determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on the line-up in 2025, but he didn't appear. Maybe they'll go back with a new offer in 2026.

Olivia Attwood

As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she'd had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.


Although she's in demand right now and very busy with radio and TV jobs, we have to admit we'd love to see Liv back in the jungle at some point!

Danny Dyer

Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he's been heavily rumoured for I'm A Celeb.


Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny's daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.

Denise van Outen

The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years. Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, so could she appear in 2026?

Due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic across the world, ITV bosses announced earlier this year that the 2021 series will once again take place in North Wales, rather than Australia.

Katie Rawcliffe, ITV’s head of entertainment commissioning, said: “We can confirm today that we’ll be returning to Wales for the 2021 series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

“We’ve always said we have contingencies in place for the series if the Covid situation continued to bring uncertainty, and after a highly successful run at the castle last year we’re pleased that we can return there.

“I have no doubt the production team will produce another hugely entertaining series.”

Although it was different to normal, last year's series of I'm A Celebrity was a huge hit with viewers, with celebs such as Mo Farah, Shane Ritchie, Beverley Callard, AJ Pritchard and Jordan North all taking part.

It was Tom Fletcher's wife Giovanna Fletcher who was crowned the first ever Queen of the Castle.

I'm A Celebrity will return to ITV in the coming months.
