Fans of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! can live in their own piece of the ‘jungle’ in a stunning mansion – and it is located right on the doorstep of Ant and Dec’s hometown.
The 142-year-old five-bedroom Ashbrooke Cottage wouldn’t look out of place in the Australian outback or within South Africa’s National Kruger Park.
But you’ll actually find it in less exotic surroundings in Sunderland, just 14 miles from presenters Ant and Dec’s beloved Newcastle.
The Victorian home has been designed by its owners from their travels to Africa, Asia and Thailand.
Tropical plants and tall trees line the boundaries of the sprawling property which boasts large outdoor terraces including a jacuzzi and spa.
