I'm A Celebrity stars 'secured' in camp as live show cancelled

I'm A Celebrity will not air live tonight as Storm Arwen is set to hit Gwrych Castle.

The Met Office has issued the rare red warning for wind from 3pm on Friday to 2am on Saturday as the first winter storm is set to batter the country, with gusts forecast to be as high as 90mph.

Most of the UK is blanketed by weather warnings as the storm approaches tonight, with those set to be in force on Saturday.

As the Storm Arwen approaches, Met Office forecasters have also moved part of the country from a yellow warning to an amber warning for wind.

Amid concerns for safety, I'm A Celebrity has put in several precautionary measures.

This includes securing the campmates inside the castle and creating a contingency plan to cover all weather scenarios.

Tonight's episode will not be a live broadcast but instead a pre-recorded show.

Ant and Dec will film their segments prior to the show's start.

A spokesperson for I'm A Celebrity said: "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."
