Two-thirds of I'm A Celebrity fans prefer UK castle-based series to the jungle
I'm A Celeb viewers are preferring the castle-based edition to the previous 19 series set Down Under, a RadioTimes.com poll has revealed.
With one day to go until the I'm A Celebrity 2020 final, the remaining contestants are reaching the end of their stay in Gwrych Castle – the UK-based I'm A Celebrity filming location used as this year's campsite in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
While the current series marks the show's first outside of the Australian jungle, RadioTimes.com can reveal most of the I'm A Celeb viewers who voted in our poll actually prefer the North Wales castle setting.
Over 2,000 fans cast their vote for which location they preferred, with 64 per cent saying they thought I'm A Celeb in the castle was better in comparison to 36 per cent choosing the jungle.
When asked whether the ITV show should shake up the location every year, 47 per cent of voters opted for the series to be based in the UK permanently, while 28 per cent said it should stick to the jungle and 26 per cent wanted a new location every series.
