British series 20

I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returned for its twenty-first series on 21 November 2021 on ITV. As with series 20, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, the series was filmed at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales.[1]

Ant & Dec returned to host the series.[2] In October 2021, it was announced that the online spin-off show I'm a Celebrity...The Daily Drop had been axed, with no plans for a replacement.[3]

On 12 December, Danny Miller was crowned the first ever ‘King of the Castle’.[4]

Production

[edit]

On 2 August 2021, it was announced that, due to Australia's border remaining closed amid COVID-19 restrictions in the country, filming would again be taking place at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales, instead of Murwillumbah, New South Wales, Australia.[1] As part of the agreement with Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust, ITV announced it would continue to help support the ongoing restoration project of the site.[1][5]

The first trailer for the series was released on 22 October 2021, featuring Ant & Dec dressed up in knight's armour galloping through the Welsh countryside, whilst it was teased that the series would be "more gruelling than ever".[6]

The live elements of the show on 26 November had to be pre-recorded for the first time in the show's history due to adverse weather conditions from Storm Arwen.[7] On 27 November, the celebrities were temporarily removed from the castle and the episodes on 27, 28 and 29 November were cancelled due to safety fears and technical difficulties as a result of the storm.[8][9] The show resumed on 30 November.[10]

Celebrities

[edit]

The line-up was announced on 15 November 2021.[11] Adam Woodyatt and Simon Gregson were confirmed by ITV on 24 November as the annual late arrivals.[12] On 25 November, Richard Madeley was forced to withdraw from the series after being taken to hospital due to an unspecified illness, and therefore breaking the show's COVID bubble. Posting online, Madeley said: "I started to feel briefly unwell in the small hours of the morning and was taken to hospital as a precaution."[13]

  • ^Note 2: For the first time in the show's history, the vote for the first trial opened a week before the series began, with the public deciding who would be facing the first trial. The winning celebrity would move their team into Main Camp, while the losing celebrity's team moved into the Castle Clink - where they slept on the floor and endured cold showers until the camps were merged on Day 4.
  • ^Note 3: The celebrities competed in this trial to win meals for their camp, while the losing team spent the night with basic rations of rice and beans.
  • ^Note 4: As both Danny and Snoochie completed all 10 dishes (5 each), a tie breaker was needed to decide who would win the trial. As Danny finished his drink first, he won the trial.
  • ^Note 5: As punishment for losing the first trial, the team in the Castle Clink faced the public vote for this trial. The team in Main Camp chose who faced the trial for them.
  • ^Note 6: Main Camp faced the public vote for this trial, then they selected who faced them from the Castle Clink.
  • ^Note 7: As lords of the castle, Adam and Simon were exempt from the public vote for trials.
  • ^Note 8: Naughty Boy was chosen by the public to compete in the trial, whilst lords of the castle Adam and Simon were told they would participate also.
  • ^Note 9: Matty automatically faced this trial after selecting the coin in the Wishing Well challenge.

Castle Coin challenges

[edit]

As well as competing in the trials, celebrities have to complete 'Castle Coin Challenges' in order to earn treats for themselves. At least 2 celebrities will be chosen to compete in the challenge. They must complete the challenge they have been given in order to win 'Castle Coins'. After completion of the challenge, the celebrities will take the Castle Coins and head to the Ye Olde Shoppe, where they will purchase one of two snack options, from Kiosk Cledwyn. But, before they are allowed to take the prize, the other celebrities back at the living quarters must answer a question, based on a recent survey. If they get the question right, they will earn the treat, but if they get it wrong, the celebrities will go back empty handed.
