Hartlepool's own ghosts and bushtucker trials as fans await further news of the next I’m A Celebrity series

The ever-popular I’m A Celebrity series is back in the news amid rumours of its 2021 location – and who this year’s stars could be.

Will it be in Wales or will it return to Australia? It’s all up in the air.

There are rumours too about who could appear in the show as it gets set to pull in the viewers once more.

But is there anywhere more suited to the show than Hartlepool where stories of ghosts abound? And where locals have had a go at bush tucker trials themselves.

A hospital, pub and cemetery are all said to be frequented by spirits. The town often holds ghost walks.

And townspeople have even tried bush tucker trials, just like the celebrities have to endure on the programme.

So let’s take a look at Hartlepool scenes from the past which really do embrace the I’m A Celebrity spirit.
