I'm A Celebrity live show cancelled for first time in 19 years over Storm Arwen

The I'm A Celebrity live show has been cancelled for the first time ever due to concerns over recent weather warnings.

ITV bosses say they have been forced to cancel I'm A Celebrity for the first time in 19 years as a "precautionary" measure over Storm Arwen, the Mirror reports.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have pre-recorded tonight's show which will be aired instead of the usual live show.

All the celebrities will remain inside the castle, which ITV has confirmed is secure.

An ITV spokesperson told the Mirror: "Tonight's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! will be broadcast as a pre-recorded show rather than live due to the developing Storm Arwen and precautionary measures we're putting into place on production.

"Ant & Dec will record their links early evening and these will be played out during tonight's show.

"Our celebrities will remain inside the castle which is secure and we have contingencies in place to cover all weather scenarios to ensure the safety of our cast and crew."
