I'm a Celebrity … Get Me into Wales! Fans flock to Abergele as TV show comes to town

Arrival of reality show in Wales brings excitement and business to town just out of lockdown

When the Welsh firebreak lockdown ended this week, friends Jane Powell, 53, and Melanie Knill-Ives, 55, did not hesitate. They packed their bags, loaded a car and drove for almost four hours from their home in Caerphilly, south Wales, to the town of Abergele in the north.

On Wednesday morning, they were giddy with excitement as they took selfies outside the gatehouse of Gwrych Castle, where their favourite TV reality show, I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! was being filmed.
