I'm A Celebrity will not air tonight as another episode cancelled

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! will not air tonight following Storm Arwen.

The stars of I'm A Celebrity were removed from the castle while work is carried out to get the production base back up and running after suffering technical issues due to extreme weather, ITV has announced.

It is understood the celebrities will individually return to quarantine to ensure they remain Covid secure and they will then be back at the castle once the whole production is safely re-established.

It comes after the shows on Saturday and Sunday were cancelled because the production base at Gwrych Castle in North Wales suffered significant damage during Storm Arwen on Friday night.

According to TV expert, Scott Bryan, I'm A Celebrity has been cancelled.

He said: "Six episodes have aired. Three episodes will / have not aired. One episode prerecorded.

"It’s less “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” … .. More “I’m A Celebrity, Please Get Me On The Air” at this point."

A statement from I'm A Celebrity at the weekend said: "Whilst we get the production base back up and running after suffering technical issues due to the storm, we have removed the celebrities from the castle."

The quarantine conditions for the celebrities will be the same as they had before entering the castle.

Earlier on Saturday, ITV announced the technical difficulties caused by the weather conditions meant there would be no new episodes this weekend.

The episodes were being replaced by compilation shows voiced by hosts Ant and Dec, featuring the best moments from previous series.

Friday's episode of the ITV series was the first to be pre-recorded due to the weather conditions.

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly recorded their links early in the evening as part of "precautionary measures" put in place by ITV following severe storm warnings.

The pair posted a video from outside the castle ahead of the show, with the wind whipping and roaring in the background.
