I’M A CELEBSKI...
Polish castle to host global versions of hit reality show
I’M Celebrity bosses are planning to recreate their Welsh castle… in Poland.
ITV Studios have found a fortress in the eastern European country that will be a permanent home for international versions of the show.
Its location is a secret, but two other countries have already said they want to stage their version of the show there.
I’m A Celeb is produced in 10 nations, including Australia, Denmark, Germany and India.
In December, Covid rules meant bosses had to move filming from Australia, to Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Conwy.
Foreign TV chiefs were impressed by the subsequent monster ratings. ITV chief exec Dame Carolyn McCall has said she wants to hold this year’s series Down Under, if possible.
Ant McPartlin, who presents the show with Declan Donnelly, has told how he would be happy to return to Wales, but added: “We’d miss the sunshine.”

It was a moment where we finally saw them for who they really were, the real star behind the pasted-on smile and tough outer shell.

Kermit the Frog being revealed as the Snail.
Yep – The Masked Singer US this week unmasked one of its singing puppets as an actual
And the even bigger shock was that Kermit went out first, despite 50 years of singing “It’s Not Easy Being Green”.
“I’m never going to hear the end of this from Miss Piggy,” he told an open-mouthed panel.
Don’t worry Kermy, a Big little Bird told me she once tanked an audition for Babe... for being too hammy. NEXT WEEK: More puppet exposes: Could new pictures unmask the real Stig as another silent star?
