I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is officially back on Sunday, and it's filming from a brand new location.

Yep, the ITV show - usually filmed Down Under - will instead be taking place at Gwrych Castle in Conwy, North Wales this year, and it won't be one to miss.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will be back presenting the show as per, while there will also be a star-studded lineup joining them.

Undeterred by the UK's chilly winter weather, landing in the jungle will be BBC Radio 1 DJ Jordan North, plus author and wife of McFly's Tom Fletcher, Giovanna Fletcher.

EastEnders royalty, Shane Richie - famed for having played Alfie Moon on the soap - will also be swapping his home comforts for the castle, while TV host Vernon Kay will also be giving it his best shot.

In a huge signing for the show, gold medal winning Olympian Mo Farah will also be camping out in the Welsh castle, and he'll be joined by none-other-than Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard.

BBC journalist Victoria Derbyshire is also confirmed to be a 2020 contestant, too.

Plus, Shane isn't the only EastEnders fave in the mix, as current star Jessica Plummer is also appearing, alongside Coronation Street fave, Beverley Callard.

Finally, record breaking British parasport javelin athlete Hollie Arnold will complete the group.

What a line up!

The celebs will be staying in a Grade I listed property, set among 25 acres of breathtaking gardens and grounds - and it's also rumoured to be haunted!

While usually set in the heart of the Australian jungle, the 20th season of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! sees a number of major changes to the series as it arrives from Wales.

Witchetty grubs and kangaroo testicles have supposedly been swapped with tripe and trotters, as well as thick thermal clothing to keep campmates warm in the castle as opposed to the usual skimpy vests and shorts that are the norm in the Australian series.

Sadly, two people who are likely not to be involved this year are Kiosk Kev and Medic Bob as they appear to be staying in Australia.

But who knows... maybe they'll find a friendly ghost to replace them!
