Body found near I’m A Celeb castle: Police discover dead man believed to have been mountain biking in woods near 200-year-old Welsh stronghold – eight days after female fan was killed by car trying to take photos outside

The body of a male cyclist has been found in woodland near the Welsh castle where I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! is being filmed.

The discovery was made on Saturday morning in woods in Abergele, less than a mile away from Gwrych Castle where the ITV reality show is taking place.

North Wales Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of the man who was found near Lady Emily’s Tower shortly before 11am.

Detectives, who were informed about the discovery by paramedics, carried out door-to-door enquiries after the man’s car was found parked in the area.

The man was found dead eight days following the death of a mother-of-two who was killed after being hit by a car as she tried to take a picture of the castle. 

A North Wales Police spokesman said: ‘We were notified at 10.57am on Saturday, November 28, by the Welsh Ambulance Service.

‘The body of a man, who we understand had been on a mountain bike in woods off the Abergele Road was discovered.

‘He was pronounced dead at the scene. There are no suspicious circumstances and the coroner has been informed.’

A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesman said: ‘We were called on Saturday, November 28 at approximately 10.49am to reports of an incident in a woodland area of Abergele. We responded with two emergency ambulances.’
