Celebrity stars, I’m a Celebrity were taken to the location of what was expected to be their most terrifying challenge.
Louise Minchin, Naughty Boy, Danny Miller And Snoochie Shy were among a group of celebs who were flown by helicopter to a rig constructed for the show and escorted by presenters Ant and Dec.
Presenters seemed to enjoy the views from the scaffolding. Ant, dressed in long pants, boots and jeans, took out his cell phone to snap pictures of the drop and laughed. Dec looked radiant as he chatted with Naughty Boy while pointing out the scaffolding.
The group arrived at the Walk The Plank Challenge and were soon seen climbing from the top while wearing neon orange jackets.
Help! You can help!
Aghh! They were wearing neon clothing as they attempted to pull off the frightening prank.
Gwrych Castle was used to transport the celebs, approximately 40 miles from Caernarfon. As the stars were walking around, teams of camerasman installed lights on the scaffolding.
It was hard to believe that these people would pollute the atmosphere and add carbon emissions with their transport means only a week following the government-led green summit COP26.
According to one observer, “It was sunny and easy for you to get from the castle they are based to the set that has been constructed.”
It would take them only about one hour to drive an electric car. However, they are trying to protect the celebs from prying eyes as well as any potential Covid infection.
Dec snapped selfies of happiness after he was taken out of the helicopter
Help! Naughty Boy was among the unfortunate ones, as he was forced to sweep the floors under him
Ouch! Danny Miller was seen from high above, in distress.
Help! Danny Miller from Emmerdale chatted with crew members
Eek! Eek!
Spooky! Spooky!
The weather changed in the afternoon. Rain and fog fell, forcing the filming to stop.
The show is a huge hit every year and all the participants have been isolated for two weeks.
The show’s producers recorded the stars landing in helicopters, then walking the plank over giant scaffolding that was erected at a quarry near Caernarfon on the North Wales coast.
Alexandra Quarry, near Penyffridd has had scaffolding erected to make them ‘Walk The Plank’ during a task. It can be seen above the quarry that is now abandoned, and has a frightening drop of many hundred feet.
Look up! While looking at the ground, the stars seemed terrified
Bleak: The gloomy weather left stars more worried
Wah! Wah!
Help! Help!
Ant and Dec were dressed in rain and cold and showed the four show stars how they navigated the scaffolding just before filming started.
The 2019 Australian series featured a plank challenge similar to the one in Australia. Last year stars abseiled from a cliff, which led to a moment where DJ Jordan North vomited in terror.
After it was revealed that Gwrych Castle’s show bosses made new additions, including a third dingy camp and a dungeon, the latest photos were released.
Be careful of the cold They were all apprehensive about the trial ahead and headed for Abergele, Wales. News presenter 53 was at the controls, while 36-year-old actor, DJ, and producer 29 were on their heels.
Ouch! The stars were apprehensive while preparing for the trial
ITV is said to have created a jail named The Clink at the North Wales estate where stars will be taken if they behave badly.
Producers will need to address a torrent of complaints from activists for animal rights before they can start the show.
Twitter was used by critics to attack the show’s use of live animals as entertainment. Animal rights activists called on viewers to abandon the show and find other programming.
PETA spokesperson said that while there is a new lineup of celebrities on the bill viewers can still expect the same cruelty and cruel animal stunts as we have seen on I’m A Celeb year after year.
This is not for the weak-hearted. Scaffolding overtook the beautiful scene
ITV continues to broadcast the harmful message that animal abuse is okay or acceptable, despite the pain, discomfort and fear the participants of the show experience during its idiotic challenges.
“But it’s not funny to watch shy snakes retreat from celebs’ shrieks, or cockroaches trapped in an inexorable chamber with a human flailing about.
“Treating animals as inanimate props for puerile jokes is a way to ignore all the amazing beings that we live with.”
PETA calls on viewers to turn off this circus channel until the producers remove animals from it.
Uh oh: The stars were getting ready for the Walk The Plank challenge
Be careful of the cold They were all frightened for what lay ahead, as the group headed towards Abergele, Wales.
Nice! It was nice!
But not quite like the Maldives! As they entered the castle, the trio faced grey and rain.
Let’s go, girls! The women were laughing at the difficulties ahead!
Tough times ahead: The new shots come after it was revealed that this year’s I’m A Celeb will be the toughest series yet with the greatest number of trials the show has ever had after bosses schedule one terrifying challenge per day
Smart: Naughty Boy was dressed in smart pants as he set foot out
The action is on! While filming was taking place, roads were blocked
There are no low-key arrivals! As the celebs arrived at their cars, they were treated to a final dose of luxury.
All set for action Snoochie seemed ready for action, as she was wearing a comfortable tacksuit and Louise was in an inappropriate jacket.
They survived. So now, we are going to push them further each series. And we will make sure they stay on their toes so that they never know what’s coming.
“The show is so well-known that many people know the basics. We need to maintain the element of surprise. That means we are improving our game.
The Clink is Gwrych Castle’s new separate living quarters – but no celebrity will want to stay there.
Coming soon: David Ginola, Louise Minchin, Snoochie Shy, Richard Madeley, Frankie Bridge, Kadeena Cox, Matty Lee, Naughty Boy, Danny Miller and Arlene Phillips are the campmates braving this year’s series
Don’t panic: It was cold outside, so the stars opted to wear heavy-duty winterwear
Enjoying a good laugh: Louise, Snoochie and their dog were beaten up by the weather.
The Clink will make life more difficult for the five celebs who start their I’m A Celeb journey. Living in The Clink, they’ll be competing against other members of the main camp.
Frankie Bridge (32-year-old singer) could find himself without a bed and sleeping on the hard floor. He would also have to shower in darkness while holding onto a water release chain.
They’ll spend the majority of their daily lives in camp, trying to stay warm from the cold outside temperatures.
Tougher: The 2021 Series Stars will travel into Gwrych Castle to live in new apartments The Clink. This is for the five stars who lost the first trial of their show.
Nice! These Jaguars were accompanied by other low-key vehicles.
Oops: Prior to the task, Ant and Dec were up to no good once more when the latter bought the former a birthday gift
Ant and Dec worked together to buy the first a birthday gift before they were forced to complete the task.
Dec wrote: ‘Where is the birthday boy?” on multiple layers of wrapping. Ant saw the present and thought, ‘I’ve got him something here.’
Dec said to Ant, as he covered his messy hair: “It’s just a small gift for you.” It’s not important to get emotional. It’s not worth worrying about.
Ant finally opened the package after feigning victory over his fear.
Oh dear: The present was wrapped in multiple layers with Dec saying: ”Where is the birthday boy? Ant noticed that Ant was looking at the camera, and asked if it was on social media.
Not too happy: As Ant covered his unstyled hair, Dec said: ‘ t’s a little gift for you. You don’t need to be too upset about it. It is nothing. It’s not worth worrying about.
