For the participants of the upcoming jungle camp it could obviously soon be: "I'm a star – Beam me out of here!"
Whether the candidates for the upcoming edition of "I'm a Star – Get Me Out of Here!" the vermin from the Australian jungle will be longing for? Because of Corona, the 15th season of the jungle camp has to take place in cold, wet Wales, more precisely in the legendary ruins of the 200-year-old "Gwrych Castle". And there, worldly horrors like kangaroo bones are a no brainer compared to the supernatural dangers. At least that's what a British expert on extraterrestrial activity claims.
That's right, in addition to various castle ghosts, a man named Russ Kellett also sees aliens as a potential threat to German and British candidates, according to the Daily Star. Small consolation for the German counterpart: even before the local C celebrities slip into thermal underwear in January, the English colleagues have to work in November.
UFO sightings are the order of the day
What, according to Kellett, speaks for an encounter of the trashy third kind? The myth goes around that in the 1970s a UFO crashed right next to the castle. Since then there have been inexplicable sightings in the sky again and again. "Should there be any extra-terrestrial visitors, that would certainly bring a good rate," says Kellett in the report, probably unconsciously, expressing the hopes of the British television channel ITV, on which "I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!" will be seen.
And that's not all. According to legend, "Gwrych Castle" is also a real haunted castle. According to "The Sun", Winifred Hesketh, Countess von Dundonald, who died in 1924, is said to be haunting the property in a white dress. Moderator Sonja Zietlow (52) is already looking forward to the upcoming change of scenery like crazy: "I've already seen the ruins of the English castle and think it's so mega. It's so spooky. (…) I'll see if it isn't there is still a skeleton in the corner somewhere, "said Zietlow in a video message.
Wouldn't it be laughable if no TV intern in ghost and / or alien clothing were allowed to run through the corridors of the Welsh castle to scare the candidates – if such special effects are at all necessary in view of the ghostly history. And maybe it will soon be: "I'm a star – Beam me out of here!"
