The First Minister of Wales Mark Drakeford has proposed a ban on people from Covid-19 hotspots in England from crossing the boarder, which could have an impact on the upcoming series of the ITV reality show.
The programme has already relocated from its usual Australian jungle camp to Gwrych Castle, but the possible restrictions could now stop the contestants and crew from crossing the boarder in time for filming.
During her 'Heart Breakfast' show on Thursday (15.10.20), Amanda said: "I wonder will it go ahead now?
"And what will happen to poor Ant and Dec? They’ve been so excited. I can't imagine anyone turning away Ant and Dec, it would be the first time in their career.”
Meanwhile, it was recently reported that 'I'm A Celebrity' - which is hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly - could be filmed in the UK for the next two years, if the pandemic continues.
An insider recently said: "As with this year, producers are looking at all possible eventualities. There is a very real chance that the show will be in the UK again next year, so they are trying to get their ducks in a row and have a plan B like this time around.
“They have informally spoken to the owners of the castle and asked about its availability over the next two years - so into 2022.
"They are hopeful that the change of scenery will be a hit with viewers - and that could make it a shame to go rushing back to Australia unless it is absolutely necessary.”
