The broadcaster stated that the coronavirus pandemic meant that “it was simply not imaginable for us to travel and do the program” Down Under as usual.
This means that the bush tucker tests are over, but ITV has promised “exhausting tests and laughing challenges.”
ITV has not revealed the location, other than saying it is “in the field”.
He also did not reveal whether celebrities will live in the castle or in a camp.
“Our celebrities will probably have to swap shorts for thermals, yet they can expect fundamental nutrition of rice and beans and a lot of excitements and surprises along the way,” said Richard Cowles, entertainment director at ITV Studios.

If the screen had taken position this year, it would have been a blow to both the channel and spectators.
The 2019 launch shows its most watched program of the year, noticed through more than thirteen million people.
This made it the UK’s most popular true exhibition and more than we saw the most productive episodes of Strictly Come Dancing, Britain’s Got Talent and The Great British Bake Off.
On Thursday, ITV CEO Carolyn McCall said the pandemic had put the broadcaster in “one of the hardest periods” in its history.
Advertising profits for the April-June quarter fell by 43%, the company said.
ITV also specified whether applicants will want to be quarantined and examined by coronavirus beforehand.
