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.  Speaking as ITV published its group annual results, Dame Carolyn said the revised format had been a "tremendous success" with BBC Radio 1 DJ Jordan North and television presenter Vernon Kay, along with Olympic runner Sir Mo Farah, actor Shane Ritchie and BBC presenter Victoria Derbyshire.  Dame Carolyn said: "If we can go back to Australia - and this show is meant to be in Australia - then that's what we'll do.  "We have a very good plan if not, as we have already done it once [in the castle]."  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.”   Do you have a story to sell?
