With just one week to go until the 20th series of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here kicks off with hosts Ant and Dec, there's no denying the fact the nation is incredibly excited, despite this year's show having a LOT of changes.

As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to cause havoc around the world, ITV bosses announced earlier this year that the 2020 series will be filmed at Gwrych Castle in Wales, not in the usual jungle out in Australia.

But as we all wait and see how the show works out, former camp mate Pat Sharp has revealed he thinks the locations should be changed EVERY year.

Appearing on Monday's episode of This Moring, Pat, who took part on the show in 2011, told hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, "Well, I think the best thing about this year, is that it’s going to be different.

"You Holly hosted it and Phil has been there on holiday, so has watched it behind-the-scenes and I’ve been on it, so we have all got a different perspective on it. But I think it being in Wales will lead for perhaps for them changing it every year now, I have a feeling it’s going to be more exciting."

He then added, "The most exciting thing about this year is for the friends and family being able to go up the M4 on a National Express coach and stay at the Holiday Inn."

Gwrych Castle in North Wales is only the third ever different location the show has been filmed at.

The first ever series, way back in 2002, took place in King Ranch near Tully, Queensland, in Australia, before the show moved to Springbrook National Park, near Murwillumbah, New South Wales, Australia.

Although no plans about the 2021 series have been announced just yet, if this year's series in Wales is a success, could be see the famous show being filmed in another new location next year?
