Where in Australia is I’m a Celebrity filmed and is the jungle real?

I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here is back where it belongs.

Unlike the past two years, its famous contestants will have to travel much further than Wales to try to prove their mettle.

Due to the pandemic, the series has had to be held at Gwrych Castle, Wales for two consecutive years.

In 2022, however, the popular ITV reality series is returning to its roots in the Australian jungle.

The cast for the 2022 edition of i am a celebrity includes DJ Chris Moyles, English footballer Jill Scott and Permissive women Star Charlene White as well as Culture Club singer Boy George and – in the most sensational reality TV casting of the year – Conservative MP Matt Hancock.

But where exactly is i am a celebrity actually filmed?

The series was initially filmed in Queensland, in northeastern Australia. However, for the second series in 2003, production was moved to New South Wales.

especially the i am a celebrity “Jungle” is located in Springbrook National Park, near Murwillumbah.

The 15,310-hectare area isn’t actually a jungle, as it’s called throughout the show, but a rainforest.

Everything else you need to know about the new series is here, and the official cast photos are here.

The Independent has also compiled a breakdown of the reported fees each cast member receives for appearing on the show – with earnings in the five-figure range up to £900,000.

Hancock’s involvement with the show has been the main talking point so far, with the disgraced politician facing criticism from ministers, celebrities and viewers for agreeing to take part in the series.
