I'm A Celeb fans disappointed as ITV show is only extended for 5 minutes after 3 days off air

I'm A Celebrity fans were left disappointed after the show was only given an extra five minutes of air time yesterday evening - despite being off air for three days.

Viewers of the ITV show took to social media to share their frustrations after the programme returned on Tuesday evening, as they were expecting a bumper show after it was cancelled for three days over the weekend.

For the first time in its two decade history, bosses were forced to pull the show on Saturday, Sunday and Monday after Storm Arwen badly damaged the set, causing a string of technical difficulties.

But fans weren't very happy to only see an extra five minutes of the ITV show and took to Twitter to share their feelings.

"I can't believe tonight's #ImACeleb is only on for 1 hour 5 minutes when it's like 5 days of footage," one said.

Another added: "I was hoping for more than only an hour & five minute episode after not getting one for three days."

The show was plagued with technical difficulties since Friday as the storm wreaked havoc in north Wales but it made a return on Tuesday evening , as Kadeena Cox and Dame Arlene Phillips took on the trial - Bed Chamber of Chills.

The pair bagged an impressive 10 out of 11 stars as they vowed to challenge themselves with the trial.

"I think it’s that thing called persuasion. Inside you’re saying no, no, no… and then somehow you find yourself here," Arlene said, whilst Kadeena added: "I wanted to [test myself]. I’ve been saying it for days, ‘I want to do a Trial, I want to overcome something."

After the trial, the Paralympian was thrilled with their effort.

She said: "I'm super buzzing we got 10 stars. That was super hard. That was really tough for me and doing it in the dark makes it so much more challenging. I’m super stoked and I think ‘Team Ardeena’ are pretty dope."

When they returned back to the camp, their fellow campmates were thrilled as Danny Miller said: "The Trial sounded horrendous! There is no way I could have done that. Sounds like Kadeena got more than she bargained for."

Naughty Boy told Arlene: "I’m so, so proud of you," whilst Simon asked if "you're still scared of snakes".

Arlene replied: "I don’t think so. I actually can’t believe I did that!"
