The stars of this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! are self-isolating as they prepare for the show to return on Saturday.

The confirmed new cast were asked to self-isolate in separate locations for two weeks before heading to the ITV set.

They were given permission to quarantine with their loved ones as they gear up for the 20th series.

Some of the celebrities are living it up in luxury cottages, while others are staying in lavish hotels.

Most of the stars have handed their phones over to their family members as they quit social media before they arrive at Gwrych Castle.

Here's what we know so far...

Former Family Fortunes presenter Vernon Kay appears to be isolating alone in a luxury farmhouse.

The 49-year-old star has been forced apart from wife Tess Daly as he prepares to get down and dirty at Gwrych Castle in North Wales.

Although some contestants have isolated with their family members, Vernon's wife and their two daughters Phoebe and Amber have not joined the television presenter in the farmhouse.

Speaking to his 132,000 Instagram followers, Vernon recorded himself walking around the sprawling property.

"So it's been announced that I will be taking part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!. I'm looking forward to it to be honest with you," Vernon said while stood in the garden.

"But, prior to going into the castle in North Wales we've been isolating separately in beautiful farm houses, bed and breakfasts, hotels, that kind of thing.

"And I've been fortunate enough to stay in this place. It's beautiful, little farm house in Anglesey."

The dad of two appears to have kept himself busy in isolation with golf practice as well as playing Xbox and working out on his cycling machine.

EastEnders actress Jessica Plummer, who played Chantelle Atkins on the BBC soap before she was killed off by her abusive husband Gray, seems to be enjoying time with her daughter Noa at an impressive cottage.

The mum-of-one is spending quality time with her daughter before she heads off into the castle for a few weeks.

On Instagram, she explained: "The rumours were true. I'm going to be taking part in this year's I'm A Celebrity.

"We are currently in quarantine in Wales," the star said as she panned the camera around to show a field of sheep.

"There really are so many sheep. I don't have my phone, my management are running my social media."

Jessica made a video for her fans after the news was announced and the gorgeous views could be seen in the background.

The star appears to be staying in a stunning cottage before she makes her debut on the ITV show.

Shane Richie, who is best known for playing Alfie Moon on EastEnders, is spending some time by himself before the reality show starts.

Talking from the exquisite cottage he is staying at, the actor suggested his family are not with him.

He revealed they are taking care of his social media and appeared to be sat alone in the huge house.

Shane didn't give too much away but he did hint at giving a tour of where he is staying just before he enters the castle.

BBC Radio 1 presenter Jordan North appears to be staying in a luxurious hotel ahead of his debut.

Talking to his fans about his excitement for joining the line-up, he gave them a glimpse at the fancy background.

The room boasted spotlights and a very modern interior.

It looks like he'll have a comfy stay before being thrown into a few weeks of hell.

Meanwhile, AJ Pritchard is isolating in his cottage after testing positive for coronavirus.

It's believed he is "still likely" to head into the I'm A Celebrity camp.

A show source told the Mirror: "AJ has had a positive text but is not in hospital or seriously ill and instead has been isolating in a cottage in Wales which is the correct thing to do.

"All the contestants have been isolating now for some time and will not meet until the end of the week with the show likely to start filming late on Friday or early Saturday.

"He will need to provide several negative tests before he is allowed anywhere near the camp but time is on his side. ITV always takes health and safety seriously and with the coronavirus they won't take any chances."

The rest of the stars, including Giovanna Fletcher, Victoria Derbyshire, Mo Farah and Beverley Callard, are yet to share any information about where they are staying.

Giovanna's husband Tom Fletcher took over her Instagram Story as he announced he will be running her social media, but he didn't mention anything about her whereabouts.

Victoria and Beverley have each appointed their kids to take over their Instagram during their run on the show.

Although the stars haven't confirmed their location, they are expected to be isolating in a cottage or hotel before the show's launch this weekend.

Paralympic champion Hollie Arnold is set to make her way to her isolation location but didn't say where she was off to.

She shared a video from home while packing with her friend before she heads off to quarantine before making an appearance on the show.

The I'm A Celebrity line-up was revealed over the weekend, with fans hailing the star studded cast as the "best in years".
