A HOTEL has given an insight into how famous faces from I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! got on staying at their luxury accommodation.

Carden Park Hotel and spa, near Chester, was the eviction hotel for this year's show.

Situated in 1,000 acres of rolling Cheshire countryside, the 198-bed hotel is situated just an hour away from Gwrych Castle in Abergele, where the 20th series was filmed.

Hamish Ferguson, director and general manager at Carden Park, said the hotel were "delighted" to be chosen.

"We were thrilled to host the I’m A Celebrity campmates this year," he said.

"Having been closed for a lot of the year, it was a great opportunity for some celebs to try out our lavish facilities, and we were delighted to be the ones to give them their first delicious meal after they left the castle.

"We were so excited. Being one of the UK’s premier luxury resorts capable of hosting large groups, it was an excellent challenge for us to maintain secrecy and provide filming locations for the ITV staff, whilst still offering our luxury experience. It allowed us to show off the best Carden Park can offer.

"Unfortunately they didn’t have much time to enjoy all of our facilities as they were whisked off home the following day, however they loved the luxurious surroundings and of course the delicious food.

"Most of the celebs have enquired about returning to Carden to enjoy the spa and golf courses in the near future so we’d be delighted to have them back to enjoy the full experience."

The last celebrities left the hotel on Saturday, December 5.

Hamish added: "We managed the secrecy aspect of the booking very well and didn’t have issues with privacy and press during their stay with us, however we couldn’t wait to tell our followers this was happening."

Asked about what covid measures had to be put in place and if staff had to form a bubble, Hamish responded: "Yes, in the lead up to the show the celebs were kept in a bubble and all areas were regularly sanitised."

The stars from this year's series - which featured AJ Pritchard, Sir Mo Farah, Shane Richie, Jessica Plummer, Victoria Derbyshire, Vernon Kay, Beverley Callard, Giovanna Fletcher, Hollie Arnold, Jordan North, Russell Watson and Ruthie Henshall - were able to trade their rice and beans with Rosette-awarded dining and their wood gathering trips with two championship golf courses.

They also enjoyed wine straight from the hotel’s vineyard and outdoor bathing with the facilities of the newly opened hotel spa.

Giovanna was crowned the first Queen of the Castle on Friday; the final episode was watched by more than 10million.

This was the first time I'm A Celeb had been hosted in Wales.

Cheshire’s Carden Park Hotel has launched a 'Celebrity Experience package'.

The package includes all of the treats and sweets that greeted the celebrities on eviction such as a dinner comprising some of the celebrities’ favourite dishes: Cheeseburger, Spaghetti Bolognese and Sticky Toffee Pudding cooked by chef to the celebrities Graham Tinsley.

Guests can also take their pick from a choice of rooms and be treated to a special personalised welcome plate, a bottle of Carden Estate Reserve sparkling wine and a fruit plate.
