From Disney+ to HBO Max, Peacock to AppleTV+, everyone is trying to get in on the streaming wars, yet with so many major SVOD services on the market in 2020, it’s becoming harder to find unique ways to really stand out and drive subscriptions against the established players like Netflix and Amazon.
ITV’s I’m A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! returns for its 20th series later this year and the team behind the multi award-winning show at ITV Studios Entertainment are coming to the Midlands to reveal the secrets of its enduring success.
Following the screening of the first episode, there will be a Q&A with the producers Harry and Jack Williams and stars Joanne Froggatt and Katherine Kelly, chaired by Emma Cox.

The prestigious awards will be presented at a ceremony hosted by Sky News presenter Anna Botting on the 26th February 2020 at the London Hilton on Park Lane.
