ITV's smash series I'm A Celebrity 2021 is set to be staged in Gwyrch Castle, near Abergele, for the second year in a row.
Although an exact date is yet to be confirmed - it traditionally airs from mid November to early December - speculation is rife which stars may feature this time round.
Normally filmed on the Gold Coast of Australia, Ant and Dec will again return to Gwrych Castle, which successfully became the show's second home last year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, reports MyLondon.

It's been reported that the contestants will have to isolate for two weeks before the show. A source told The Sun: "All of the celebrities will have to quarantine alone for a fortnight.
"Once this ends they will enter the camp, which is basically then their bubble for the whole series. Testing will be done regularly in camp and on the set to ensure all the cast and crew are safe.
"ITV thinks this is the best case scenario and will stop any headaches surrounding Covid, which has been a nightmare for the BBC with Strictly."
As always the celebrities joining the 2021 series will be kept well under wraps until nearer the time, however that doesn't stop the rumour mill from hinting at some new names.
Adam Woodyatt
EastEnders' star Adam Woodyatt has been confirmed as a contestant for this year's series of I'm a Celebrity.
The 53-year-old actor, who is best known for playing Ian Beale on EastEnders since 1985, is set to be taking part in the ITV show as it returns for a new series in Wales.
A source told The Sun : “Adam was a big target for the casting team — he is a soap legend and is certain to be a huge hit with fans.
“But they knew they might have their work cut out because he has been quite reticent to do interviews or reality TV shows in recent years.
Richard Madeley
Richard Madeley is reported to be a contestant on I'm A Celebrity.
The Good Morning Britain presenter is rumoured to have signed a '£200k' deal.
An insider told The Sun : "Richard's been asked year after year but the timing has never been right. But now, finally, he's said 'Yes'.
"He’s a favourite with ITV execs. He’s brilliant off and on screen so it seemed as good a time as any to throw caution to the wind and eat animal bits."
Piers Morgan
Former Good Morning Britain star Piers Morgan has been linked to the new series of I'm A Celebrity.
Although he did say 'no' to the rumours, it hasn't stopped many from thinking there could still be a possibility that the 56-year-old could appear in Wales.
Teasing on the Lorraine Show, Ant McPartlin previously said: "He's not working at the moment, so you know, he'll be looking for a job."
Cheryl Hole
RuRaul Drag Race UK star Cheryl Hole rumoured to be taking part in the new series of I'm A Celeb.
The 27-year-old has also appeared on The Only Way Is Essex.
“Casting directors want the most diverse I’m A Celeb line-up possible," said an insider from ITV. “They’re keen to sign drag queens. They have big fanbases who would follow them to I’m a Celeb.”
Baga Chipz
Baga Chipz is best known for competing in RuPaul's Drag Race UK in 2019. Now the TV star may be taking part in I'm a Celeb.
Speaking to Heat, Baga said: “I’m a bit of a lazy cow when it comes to telly. [I’d do] anything where I can sit down, like I’m A Celeb. You can put anything in my gob. I’d get ten stars. I’d eat anything.
“I don’t think they’d be ready for me.
"You know how you had your Lady C and your Kim Woodburn? I’d be one of them. I’d be the talking point of the show, put that way.”
Nadiya Hussain
Nadiya Hussain has been suspected as a potential I'm a Celeb contestant.
The Great British Bake Off 2015 winner declined the offer to participate in the 2020 series.
Explaining her reasoning, she told The Guardian : “It’s just so cold in Wales: if I’m going to have cockroaches in my pants I’d rather it be in the sun, thanks. Still, I can’t help wondering what it would have been like.”
Perri Kiely
Perri Kiely, 25, is known for being brave on the dance floor and it looks like he may soon be taking his courage to the jungle.
The diversity dancer has said he's open to taking part in the show, after his co Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo was on the series.
Perri told Digital Spy : “Jordan has been in the jungle, and I love that normally everyone comes out and they’re like, ‘Oh my god, it was the greatest experience of my life. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.’
“Jordan came out and was like, ‘That was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced. Never send me back there again.’
"So I’ve got, like, two perspectives of it. But I’d like the challenge. So yeah, get me in there, why not?”
Lucy Fallon
Lucy Fallon is rumoured to be part of this year's line-up.
According to The Sun, the Coronation actress was approached to join I'm a Celeb after she missed out on a spot to Katie McGlynn on Strictly Come Dancing.
Kate McGlynn is also an actress on Coronation Street.

Louise Minchin
Louise Minchin recently finished her last day on BBC Breakfast and ITV bosses are apparently keen to sign her up for I'm A Celeb.

Meanwhile, her former co-host Dan Walker is appearing on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.
Liberty Poole
Liberty Poole stole the nation's hearts when she appeared on this year's Love Island.
However, things went sideways with her relationship with water engineer Jake Cornish and she ended up leaving the show.
Now, she has been tipped to sign up for I'm A Celeb this year following her success on Love Island.
But if it's not Liberty, surely another Love Island star will be snapped up? Time will tell.
Jake Wood
Former EastEnders star Jake, 49, who previously played Max Branning on the soap, is rumoured to be joining the line-up.
The actor is reportedly in "advanced talks" with ITV bosses and is keen to sign up for this year's series.
A source told The Sun: "He would love to go into the jungle. He thinks it would be a great challenge for him and he has of course seen how well other EastEnders stars have done."
Tom Malone Jr
Tom Malone Jr is no stranger to reality TV, as he was a favourite on Channel 4's Gogglebox.
The likeable TV personality recently quit the show as he believes "new opportunities are knocking on the door and it's time to explore them".
And he has hinted he will appear on I'm A Celebrity this year, responding to a fans' question on Instagram.
He said: "Yeah sure, I think. I actually think that would be sick, and probably would be very fun."
Vicky McClure
Line Of Duty star Vicky McClure has become a household name in recent years thanks to her stellar performance DI Kate Fleming in the BBC police drama series.
Due to her growing popularity, it’s no wonder I’m A Celeb bosses are keen to secure her for the new series in Wales.
Bookies have revealed that Vicky is currently on odds of 8/1 for the Welsh castle but, much like her fellow Line of Duty co-stars Martin Compston, Adrian Dunbar and Kelly Macdonald, her name has also linked to Strictly 2021.
Kieran Hayler
Katie Price's former husband Kieran Hayler recently confirmed that I'm A Celeb bosses had been in touch with him for the 2020 series but seeing as he was not on the line-up, maybe he will be on the upcoming cast list.
He told New! magazine: “I’d love to go on ‘I’m A Celeb’. I think there have been talks, but I don’t know for sure. I’d love to do it because I’m into the outdoors anyway so for me it would be really cool.”
He added: “I think it’s just the eating stuff I’d be a bit rubbish at – and it’s closer to home now I’ve heard.”
Jenny Ryan
Jenny Ryan is best known as The Vixen on ITV's The Chase.
She could follow in the footsteps of her fellow chaser, Anne Hegerty, who was on the show in 2018.
The quiz-master has teased a potential stint in the castle.
She tweeted - after learning the location was switching to the UK from Oz: “My main reservations about doing I’m A Celeb have always been 1. The Spiders 2. The Snakes 3. The Heat. This could be a big opportunity for ol’ Jenny.”
Matt Baker
BBC personality Matt Baker could be heading into camp.
The Countryfile presenter recently stepped down from his co-hosting role on The One Show - freeing up time in his schedule.
When quizzed on if he would take the plunge and star on the ITV show, he told Hello! : ”I haven’t had any conversations yet. I am reluctant to say no to anything without having a good think about it.”
Jackie Weaver
Has she REALLY got the authority?
The infamous clerk of Handforth Parish Council has genuinely been tipped for this series. She is somewhat of a mainstream celeb now, having been invited to The brit awards.
She addressed the speculation in an interview with the Express, saying: “I think I would make a great Agony Aunt for the Celebs on the programme – just don’t ask me to do anything with frogs!”
Olivia Attwood
The Love Island star has said she would prefer to do I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! rather than Dancing On Ice.
Former Love Island contestant, Olivia, told RadioTimes.com : “I’d love to do the jungle. I’d give Dancing on Ice a go, although it does scare me.
Simon Gregson
Coronation Street's Simon is rumoured to be following in the on-screen footsteps of his mum Bev Callard by putting his name down for I'm A Celeb.
