Gwrych Castle, the location for this year's edition of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, is allegedly hunted by a gang of galloping ghost horses.

The Welsh castle will host the ITV reality show next month rather than the Aussie jungle due to coronavirus - and the historic site is said to be a hotbed for paranormal activity.

One prominent investigator has claimed that Gwrych is haunted by several ghosts, including the wife of the castle's former owner, who is still angry that he stripped the building of her favourite valuables.

Now Steve Weightman, who lived in a flat in the castle in the 1970s, has claimed to have witnessed multiple disturbing incidents - including a gang of ghost horses racing around the ground, ghosts hanging out at the bar after closing time and the death of one of his friends at the top of a stairwell.

"He was one of the original butlers at the castle," he told The Mirror. "I found him sitting on the top of the main stairwell, leaning against the wall, dead."

The new series launches on November 15 with rumoured celebrities including Vernon Kay, Beverley Callard, AJ Pritchard and Jessica Plummer.
