Speaking about the possibility of signing on the series, Kieran told New! magazine: “I’d love to continue. I’m a celebrity. I think there have been talks, but I’m not sure.”
Among the other celebrities linked to the show is AJ Pritchard, who is said to be in talks to join the lineup after leaving Strictly Come Dancing.
The cost of renting the castle for six weeks is believed to be over £ 1 million.
Gwrych Castle has a dark history, as it has been used for satanic rituals.
The castle, which was a popular visitor attraction in the 60s and 70s, is said to be haunted by the Countess of Dundonald, who died in 1924.
Local legends suggest that the ghost of the Duchess appears hovering over a first-floor window in a room with no floorboards due to rotting wood.
