THOSE named Ant or Dec are being encouraged to perfect their swing and take part in a free round of golf!
Abergele Golf Club, which is located just a mile from Gwrych Castle - the I'm a Celeb 2020 filming location - has come up with the tee-rific idea to offer a free round of golf to anyone with the same name as the ITV presenters.
The golf club launched their campaign as building work ahead of the show gets underway.
Stuart Runcie, Advanced PGA Professional Golfer at Abergele Golf Club, said: "Abergele Golf Club members and residents of Abergele are hugely excited by the opportunity that this brings to the area.
"Abergele is a quiet market town in North Wales, and so particularly on the back of such a difficult year with Covid-19, this has brought around a really community spirit and everyone just wants it to go well.
"With the show being right next door, we have the perfect spot for celebrity viewing.
"We'll often sit on our terraced bar and look out to the road and see lots of activity at the castle.

"There's the large crane, but also at the back a white tented area.
"We've not seen any celebrities just yet but rumour has it that Ant and Dec were there last week, so we've been keeping our eyes peeled."
After much speculation, ITV confirmed in August that Gwrych Castle would host the 20th series of the popular reality show.
Geordie duo Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are said to be fans of golf themselves; in the summer they were spotted playing a round of socially distanced golf.
Asked what it would be like if the presenting duo arrived at the golfing venue, Stuart said: "They always joke about going off to play golf, so we can only hope.

"They can come and join us for some studio time with our golf simulator – we’ve got Trackman 4 technology too so if they’d like any downtime, coaching or lessons, it’s on us!
“With such a difficult start to the year we are just so pleased to welcome ITV and the celebrities into the area.
"There’s such a community spirit rallied around all this, and a real buzz in the area, everyone is talking about it.
"This has been such a welcomed opportunity for us in 2020.”
Talking about what it is like to be located so close to the filming site, Stuart added: "I mean we’re really in the thick of it, it’s exciting!
"Playing off our second tee you can hear drilling and various building work, and can see to your left what’s rumoured to be either a car park or a studio – you decide.
"Every day there’s new activity... it’s all go.”
To redeem the free round of golf, those named Ant or Dec should ring the club on 01745 824034, bring photo identification and like the golf club on either Facebook @abergelegolf; Twitter @Abergelegolf or Instagram @abergelegolfclub
