The plush Versace hotel in Australia is normally home to I’m A Celebrity contestants after they leave camp.

But this year, they’ll have to make themselves at home at the Carden Park hotel in Cheshire which is just an hour’s drive for Gwrych castle in Wales, where the series was filmed for the first time amid the coronavirus pandemic. 

Two housemates have already been eliminated from camp, Hollie Arnold and Ruthie Henshall, who are alrady staying at the Carden Park, with ten remaining celebrities battling it out to the final.

And after weeks of residing in the castle, which is apparently freezing and requires another person to power the mould-free shower manually, guests can really stay in the lap of luxury.

With views over the Nicklaus golf course and Cheshire countryside, stunning bathrooms and bedrooms boast starlight ceilings and a Sonos sound system.

There’s a 50 inch TV with full SKY channel, stunning fireplace, because who needs a campfire anymore, cosy robes and a nespresso machine – no more visits to Kiosk Cledwyn needed here.

In April, it was reported that around 200 staff at the Versace hotel have been stood down after it was forced to close amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Palazzo Versace, on the Gold Coast, shut its doors after travel bans were put in place to slow the spread of the virus.

Staff had been left in the lurch as they were reportedly told there is not enough money to pay out their entitlements.

The hotel first began scaling back operations and limiting shifts on March 23 when the outbreak began to worsen.

Employees were initially told they would be able to use annual and long service leave to keep them afloat as the hotel assessed the dire situation.
