As if this year wasn’t weird enough, the show we all know and love for its Australian jungle backdrop is set to be filmed… in the UK countryside. A far cry from the setting we’ve been used to for the last 20 series…

It’s been announced today that the 2020 series won’t be filmed in its usual spot, but production will instead be much closer to home.

ITV’s Director of Television said:

“We announced last week that we were doing all we could to make the series and I’m thrilled that we can bring the show to viewers albeit not in the jungle. We have a great team both on and off screen and I know they will produce a hugely entertaining series.”
