I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is over for another year, after Giovanna Fletcher was crowned the winner and the first ever Queen of the Castle.

Like many of our favourite shows, this year the competition had to make a number of changes. This year's show in Wales turned out to be a huge success, breaking record viewing figures and now bosses are considering a future series taking place there.

However more changes for 2020 have been announced as ITV bosses have revealed that the Coming Out Show, which airs every year following the celebs' departure from the show, will be different this year.

The special episode has been renamed ‘A Castle Story’ for this year, due to the current COVID-19 restrictions making it difficult for production crews to follow the contestant’s journey after they leave the show.

Is I'm A Celeb's Coming Out show on this year?

The Coming Out Show, usually follows each celeb as they re-enter normal life. This includes when they reunite with their families and fellow campmates for the first time.

It was also announced last week that the campmates end of series reunion party has been scrapped after the final this year. The get-together normally features on the Coming Out show but as the 12 campmates can’t legally be in the same room the party has been pushed back to 2021.

What is I’m A Celebrity…A Castle Story?

We can expect emotional reunions with their family members and exclusive interviews with the 12 campmates about their time on the show and how their life has changed since leaving Gwrych Castle.

When is I'm A Celebrity... A Castle Story on?

Ant and Dec will host the special episode, which airs on ITV at 8pm on Saturday 13th December. The hour long show will give us a sneak peak in to what the celebs got up to after leaving the castle.

However, the show will include more highlights than in previous year's, including unseen conversations and footage from camp.

A Castle Story is on ITV this Saturday (13th December) at 8pm.

How much did this year's I'm A Celeb contestants get paid?
