I'm A Celebrity host Ant raises more weather concerns as contestants return to castle

Ant and Dec have raised more weather concerns for I'm A Celebrity Get Me Get Out of Here, just as this year's contestants return to the castle after a three day hiatus.

After the show's production base at Gwrych Castle was battered by Storm Arwen on Friday and Saturday, with extensive damage to offices, the stars were all evacuated from the castle and placed into individual quarantine.

The storm forced live episodes of I'm A Celebrity to be scrapped on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday but it will be back in its usual 9pm time slot on Tuesday.

And, gearing up for its return, presenters Ant and Dec appeared on Tuesday's This Morning, live from Wales, to speak to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

Both Ant and Dec heaped praise on I'm A Celeb's production team for their "monumental effort," in getting the show up and running again and back on air.

But it was then that Ant predicted there could be more weather-related trouble ahead, telling Holly and Phillip: "There's a slight worry as I think there's more bad weather next week."

As Phillip's jaw dropped at that news, Ant added: "But I think it's just temperatures dropping and a bit of snow, a bit of frost."

"I think we could cope with that," he said, crossing his fingers at the same time, joking: "Touch wood, touch wood."

Dec then joked: "We never get this in Australia!" as Holly replied: "I was going to say; we've seen some pictures of you going on some very cold walks. Not those sunny beaches of Oz.

"No golf courses. "

And admitted: "Look, it's been a challenge, the team have been fantastic, we're back on air tonight and we can't wait to get going again."
