The UK's favourite survival reality show returns later this month - and preparations for the highly-anticipated 21st series are still happening on a vast scale.
Epic aerial images of the I'm A Celebrity camp in Gwrych Castle, north Wales, showcase the extraordinary efforts of the behind-the-scenes team who have been pulling out all the stops to ensure renovations are complete in time.
The Grade I listed 19th-century country house, located near Abergele in picturesque Conwy County will play host to the long-running ITV show for the second consecutive year due to travel restrictions surrounding its usual home on Australia's east coast, currently in the midst of another lockdown.

The bird's-eye view captured several sprawling marquees, including a lone tent positioned in the grounds of the fortress.
Rows of marquees will play host to the family of the campmates when they visit the site.
