The ITV reality show - which is usually filmed in an Australian jungle - has been moved to Gwrych Castle in North Wales because of the coronavirus pandemic, and bosses are doing everything they can to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Richard Cowles - ITV Studios entertainment director - said: "On a Covid level, everyone’s got proximity monitors on them so basically they can’t come within two metres of each other without it buzzing and flashing and reminding them to step away."

The show itself - which is set to air next month, once Wales has ended its circuit breaker lockdown - will be edited in London.

Richard added: "In terms of the technology, we've for example, with the castle itself, we've mapped that completely remotely so we can get all of our camera positions and everything done off-site without having to go there.

"We have basically created a whole virtual walk through of that castle, so all of the set can be built remotely back here and then transported up there.

"All the camera positions, the lens length - all of that sort of stuff can be done.

"We're even going to have our edits in London to try to reduce the number of people travelling to Wales and to reduce the number of people that could potentially spread Covid."

Meanwhile, Richard pointed out the nature of 'I'm A Celebrity' - which will be hosted by Ant and Dec - means bosses can keep the stars in a relatively "sealed" environment.

Speaking to a Royal Television Society virtual event, he explained: "It isn't easy but the good thing about reality shows and shows where you put the cast in a bubble is that you can put them in a space where they can be reasonably sealed from outside interaction."

Despite the Wales lockdown, ITV bosses are confident the upcoming series will still be able to go ahead.

A spokesman said: "'I'm A Celebrity' continues to adhere to all relevant guidelines as well as our own strict Covid protocols."
