Filming for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here is well underway, with campmates spotted making a dramatic arrival at North Wales’ Gwrych Castle on Friday night.
Pictured were the cars heading to the imposant country house, lit with bright flames.
The vehicles didn’t make it all the way to the front door. Instead, they were stopped by two towers that had been built for ITV.
Wow! Wow!
The contestants were wearing yellow and red clothing, with one star seen distantly holding an enormous key token.
As the challenge became more difficult, the fireballs were shot through the air with dramatic red lights illuminating the castle.
Celebrities were heard cheering for their team members during this bonding activity every so often.
Incredible: This is how the cars were photographed heading toward the imposant country home.
Dramatic: The vehicles didn’t make it all the way to the front door. Instead, they were stopped by two towers that had been constructed for ITV.
Trendy: The contestants were seen wearing yellow and red clothing
It was exciting: A star, unidentified, was seen at a distance with a large key token
The Walk The Plank challenge was the first scary task that stars took on. They were seen suspended above an abandoned quarry.
Louise Minchin and Naughty Boy were among the celebs that were taken by helicopter to an rig designed for the show. They were accompanied by Ant and Dec.
The group arrived at the Walk The Plank Challenge and were soon seen climbing from the top while wearing neon orange jackets.
Applause: Celebrities were heard applauding their colleagues during this bonding activity.
Eye-popping: A torrent of bright flames lit the castle.
Tension: Fire balls were fired into the air as part of the spellbinding challenge, with red light beams against the castle.
Amazing: This episode promises to deliver a very entertaining and eye-popping debut.
Woah! It looked just like a Hollywood film set.
It was impressive: They had gone all out to meet the budget.
Presenters seemed to enjoy the views from the scaffolding. Ant was dressed in a long jacket, jeans, and boots and snapped pictures of the drop with his phone while he laughed.
Dec smiled as he chatted with Naughty Boy, and showed off the scaffolding.
Naughty Boy was particularly disturbed by Danny Miller’s task, as they struggled to walk on the plank.
As the stars talked to Ant and Dec, teams of cameramen had lights placed on the scaffolding.
Star-studded: Campmates followed one other on vehicles to the castle.
You should follow the leader. The car trail was led by two production members riding in a golf buggy.
Arrival: Cars travelled behind each other slowly
It stood out in a pitch-black background.
Show producers seemed to have forgotten that the show’s hosts were putting their lives at risk by polluting our air and adding carbon dioxide just a week after 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.”
They could easily have taken an electric car together, and it would only take them an hour. However, they are trying to protect the celebs from prying eyes as well as any potential Covid infection.
What’s this? Neon signs were used to light up the challenge
The spellbinding challenge was once again made more exciting by Explosive: Flamingos
Interessant: These arrow structures point up towards the sky
Eek! The dramatic challenge could see one star taking part
Wow! We hope this campmate doesn’t fear heights!
Neon: It is clear that the activity suggests a explosive new series
Gruelling. The stars certainly were put through their paces
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.
Today’s production crew filmed celebs landing on helicopters. Then, they walked the plank across the massive scaffolding in the quarry located near Caernarfon.
Alexandra Quarry is near Penyffridd. The scaffolding was erected in order to require them to walk the plank during a task. The structure is situated above the quarry that has been abandoned. It drops hundreds of feet.
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.
