While the network hasn’t confirmed the exact locations, a little online sleuthing points to filming happening now predominately in the Callaghan Valley, just south of Whistler. Reports also have the production filming at Minaty Bay, south of Squamish on the eastern shore of the Howe Sound.

The announcement came via a YouTube video with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly standing in front of mountainous backdrop.

While part of the I’m a Celebrity franchise, this new series will feature a major twist: Celebrities will compete in pairs rather than as individuals. Duos can consist of two celebrities together, a celebrity and a family member, or a celebrity and their best friend. They will eat, compete and are eliminated together as one.
