This year, the ITV show has decamped from Australia to North Wales’ Gwrych Castle amid the Covid pandemic.

A TV source said: “The trials team are getting creative.

“They’re using the fact they’re in the UK to their advantage and plan to draft in familiar faces to pop up in trials.

“There’s set to be a few video link surprises as well.”

Celebs rumoured to be taking part include TV host Vernon Kay, 46, and Coronation Street’s Beverley Callard, 63.

The jungle show has run every year since 2002, with two series in 2004.
