I`m A Celebrity 2020

[Mi-Amigo]

I`m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here is to start tomorrow - Sunday 15 November - on ITV.

Instead of being located in Australia, this - the 20th I`m A Celeb - will be located at Gwrych Castle, Abergele, Wales.

The show will be hosted, as usual, by Ant and Dec.

The celebrities taking part will be:

[info from Digitalspy - https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/reality-tv/a32374654/im-a-celebrity-2020-cast-start-date/

Sir Mo Farah

Olympic gold medallist.

Mo says: "It will be nice for people to see me doing something other than running."

When asked what he would miss the most while in the celebrity camp, he named "coffee", his wife and his children.

Vernon Kay

TV presenter and husband of Strictly Come Dancing's Tess Daly.

Vernon thinks that he'll be the "person to keep spirits up" while in the camp, and admits that he'll miss his family most.

Jessica Plummer

Former EastEnders actor.

In terms of her fears, Jessica points to "arachnophobia" a "fear of heights" and "just about every phobia".

"It will be nice for people to see me for who I am rather than my EastEnders character," she said.

Victoria Derbyshire

Journalist and TV presenter

"I am not a fan of spiders or confined spaces and I don't know what I am going to be like when I get there," she said.

Beverley Callard

Coronation Street star.

"People think I am glamorous as I have played Liz for so long but I am not," she said of her iconic on-screen character.

She's most scared of "ghosts and insects" and will miss her dogs and her husband the most.

Giovanna Fletcher

Author, blogger and wife of McFly singer Tom.

Giovanna has a fear of heights and admits that her legs "go wobbly".

She believes that her role in camp will be "Mum, friend and the giver of hugs".

AJ Pritchard

Former Strictly Come Dancing professional.

"People see me with sparkles and fake tan but nobody knows what I am like," he said.

His dream campmate would be "any celebrity with an intriguing background".

Shane Richie

Actor, comedian and EastEnders star.

Shane's fear is "human faeces", apparently. "If I see one, it is over! I am hoping the camp toilet will be enclosed."

Hollie Arnold

Paralympic gold medallist.

Hollie thinks her role in camp will be the "cook" or a "shoulder to cry on".

Her dream camp mate would be Michelle Keegan, and she'll miss her "boyfriend, food and cats" the most.

Jordan North

BBC Radio 1 DJ.

"It's just easier to say what I am not scared of. I have so many phobias," he said.

Jordan also thinks that in camp he'll be the "entertainer" and the "tidy up person".

Any other members of the Community going to be watching?

What are your thoughts on the line-up ? the re-location?

Thanks @gmarkj for your comments.

Jordan deserved to be runner-up - after he conquered some of his fears towards the end.

I too found Ant and Dec`s comment about how long it took G to do her trial funny .

We have the "Coming out party" to look forward to. (I`m sure @Cleoriff will refresh my memory and tell us when that`s on - thanks).

Glad to partake, looks like i may be hooked  again,  it'll be interesting to see which "Celebrities" they can get for the next one.

The coming out party is Dec 13th @Mi-Amigo. I think it will take a different format though. I believe it's called My Castle Journey. (with Covid rules I presume it will be an interview with all the candidate)

Why is everything a journey? FML!

It’s not.. it’s a fake tv show where you please the masses for votes...

[Cleoriff]

I think it's called a Journey as it's out of their comfort zone for 3 weeks. Strange place, with people you don't know and taking part in trials you have never expected to undertake

[Anonymous]

But everything is a journey... another overused buzz word

I doubt there are many watching who don't get that as in all the other popular Saturday shows where you have the oprtunity to vote, the fact is you dont have to its called choice!

No, not everything is a journey.. that was sarcasm.

Someone who has beaten cancer or continues to fight it. That’s a journey.
Someone who has their life torn apart by tragedy and somehow manages to keep going.. That’s a journey.

A reality show is not a journey, it’s entertainment and a cheap way for to create, enhance or revive a career.

Actually if we take Jordan's behaviour at the start at face value I would say he has been on a journey.
Don't get me wrong, it seems a massive over-reaction (to everything) but from where he was to be able to "calmly" do his final trial he has been on a path of growing confidence.
