Former I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star and comedian Joel Dommett has revealed that he feels "really bad" for 2020's batch of contestants.
Joel, who came second in the 2016 series of ITV's I'm A Celeb and went on to host ITV2 spin-off I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp, appeared on Loose Women today (October 12).
He discussed the second series of his quiz show Hey Tracey and revealed that he feels sorry for the contestants who will take part in this year's edition of the ITV reality show.
This year's series won't be taking place in the Australian jungle for the first time ever, instead moving to Gwrych Castle in Abergele, North Wales as a result of travel restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Joel, who also hosts The Masked Singer, might be looking forward to watching the show, but he admitted that he's glad he won't be a contestant this year.
"I feel really bad for the contestants this year," he said. "I am genuinely so excited for I'm A Celeb this year, it's going to be a new place and going to have new challenges. I just really feel for them.
"When you're in the jungle you smell and have cockroaches on you and you're hungry and the only saving grace sometimes is that it's sunny. And it's not going to be sunny in Wales in December!"
He added that he feels very lucky to have had such a positive reaction from the public after he took part in the show himself, saying: "It's a mad show because when you come out of the jungle, you're in this mad bubble.

"You get back from this wilderness where you haven't eaten and haven't seen anybody and suddenly everyone knows who you are. That slowly dies away and people move onto the next reality show but I've been very lucky."
Joel also teased some hilarious moments coming up on the new series of Hey Tracey, which sees celebrities making random phone calls to members of the public to help them answer questions.
"We've got Judi Love, we had a great call with Roman Kemp last week, I've got an amazing one with Bobby Norris coming up," he said. "It's one of the best things that's ever happened to me in my life.
"It's completely random but he manages to call a beauty salon he used to work at years ago and he was all like, 'How's it going, I haven't seen you for ages!' It's all very funny."
I'm a Celebrity will return in November on ITV. Hey Tracey airs on ITV2, with its latest new episode airing tonight (October 12) at 10pm.
