Another said: “In that castle again [crying faces], [bleep] Covid.”

One added: “[Bleep] sake I thought it was gonna be in Oz.”

Meanwhile, the new series is expected to return later this year.

Last year, the show filmed at Gwrych Castle in Wales due to travel restrictions amid the pandemic.

Ant and Dec previously spoke about the location of this year’s series and at the time said it was “up in the air”.

Dec told Metro in May: “”People are having conversations with Australia to see if they’ll let us in, and to see if that’s going to work…

“If not, we’ve got a lovely alternative to go back to Wales, which we had a great time there.”
