I’M A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! will return to TV tomorrow after Storm Arwen wreaked havoc on the set.
The popular reality series was forced off air after the storm caused a 48-hour blackout and extensive damage to the set.

ITV was forced to cancel this weekend’s episodes of the hit reality series, and confirmed the stars had been relocated.
The Celeb Report can reveal I’m A Celeb will be making a comeback after many feared the show could get the ax because of the extensive damage.
ITV bosses confirmed: “I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! will return from tomorrow night (Tuesday 30th November) on ITV and ITV Hub with a brand new show. Ant & Dec will be back presenting live from the Castle.”
Contestants will face a new live trial on Wednesday night, and the public vote for who’ll take it on will open in tonight’s show, with Ant and Dec presenting live from the castle.
“Production worked round the clock to get the site back up and running after Storm Arwen caused substantial damage over the weekend,” a source says.
Instead of I’m A Celebrity, Freddie and Jamie’s DNA Journey will air tonight at 9pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
The celebrity contestants were returned to quarantine on Saturday as bosses made the decision to remove them from camp.
ITV confirmed in a statement: “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 campmates will return to the castle once the show’s entire production is safely re-established, with the quarantine conditions for the celebs the same as they were before they joined the show.
If they come into contact with anybody outside of I’m A Celeb’s secure Covid bubble, they won’t be allowed to return to camp – with Richard Madeley forced out of the show after just four days due to a hospital dash.
It was previously reported that the show’s production area “looks like a bomb has hit it”, with “terrified” crew almost blown off their feet.
Pictures show marquees ripped to shreds, and roofs and canopies ripped from structures after gales ravaged the location.
While ITV bosses were sure to take extra precautions to keep their celebrity campmates safe, the surrounding area was devastated by the weather.
And this afternoon, bosses confirmed that they are not able to get this weekend’s episodes to air as planned.
A statement read: “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).
“I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! will be replaced tonight and tomorrow night in the ITV schedules by compilation shows (voiced by Ant & Dec) featuring best moments from previous series.”
The current series has only been on air for less than a week but has already suffered devastating dramas.
The latest chaos comes after a difficult couple of days that saw Richard’s medical scare get him removed from the castle for good.
