Contestants on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! have been removed from the show's set after it sustained damage during Storm Arwen. The weekend episodes of the ITV programme, filmed at Gwrych Castle in Conwy, have been cancelled.
ITV said technical difficulties caused by extreme weather had forced the cancellation of Saturday and Sunday's episodes. Producers had already abandoned the live element of the show on Friday evening.
Storm Arwen has caused widespread disruption across Wales, with more than 30,000 homes experiencing power cuts and road and rail travel affected. Transport for Wales has cancelled a majority of its rail services, while many roads and bridges have been closed due to falling debris.
In a statement, the show said: "Owing to technical difficulties caused by extreme weather conditions in the area, there will be no new episodes of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! this weekend (Saturday and Sunday)." The show will be replaced in the ITV schedules by compilation programmes featuring best moments from previous series, voiced by Ant and Dec.
Last week, Richard Madeley left the show after feeling unwell. Speaking afterwards, he said he was fine but had left because he had broken the show's Covid safety bubble.
