Okay, picture this: the nights are drawing in, the heating's cranked up, and you're craving some serious sofa action. What's the perfect accompaniment? That's right, it's *I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!*!
So, the burning question on everyone's lips (and mine too, let's be honest) is: when does the jungle madness – or should I say, castle chaos – officially kick off again? Don't worry, I've got you covered!
Remember the Castle Era?
Let's rewind a little. Remember those couple of years when our celebs weren't battling creepy crawlies under the Australian sun, but braving the rather more chilly climes of a Welsh castle? Think less sunshine and spiders, more drafty corridors and, well, probably still spiders.
It was definitely... different. But hey, we still got our fill of trials, tribulations, and questionable fashion choices.
Back to the Jungle for 2021?
Now, for 2021, there was a good amount of buzz surrounding the show going back to Australia. We were all crossing our fingers and toes, weren't we? I was practically doing cartwheels at the thought of the outback returning.
But guess what? The jungle drums (or should I say, castle wind instruments?) sounded again! The show ended up being held in Gwrych Castle in North Wales, just like the previous year.
So, When Did the Castle Chaos Start in 2021?
Right, onto the main event! Mark your calendars (or set a reminder on your phone, because let's face it, we all forget things these days): I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! graced our screens on Sunday, November 21st, 2021!
Yes, that's right! The Sunday before the start of advent calendar season (for those who are counting down).
Why This Date Matters (Besides the Obvious)
Why is this so important, you ask? Because it's the official starting pistol for the run-up to Christmas, obviously! It's when we can all collectively agree to switch off our brains for an hour or so each evening and watch celebrities eat questionable things. It's a tradition!
It signals the official start of "It's okay to eat Christmas snacks now" season! Well, at least in my head, anyway.
What Made the 2021 Series Special?
Okay, even though it was in the castle again, the 2021 series had its own unique charm! It was full of surprises, some truly unforgettable moments, and a whole host of celebrities doing their best (or worst) to survive in less-than-glamorous conditions.
From the hilarious trials to the genuine camaraderie (and sometimes the not-so-genuine), it was a series that kept us all glued to our screens. Plus, the winner was truly deserving! So, it's safe to say it was a series to remember.
Why You Should Binge-Watch it (If You Haven't Already)
Let's be honest, who doesn't love a bit of celebrity-based chaos? It's the ultimate guilty pleasure! So, if you missed it the first time around, now's your chance to catch up.
Plus, it's the perfect way to escape the real world for a while. Because who needs to worry about bills and responsibilities when you can watch someone eat a fermented duck egg? Exactly!
Get your snacks ready, settle into your favorite spot on the sofa, and prepare for a rollercoaster of emotions. You won't regret it, I promise! And if you do, well, you can always blame me.
