Crew on I’M A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! are securing the Welsh castle where the show is set as Storm Barra has raised fears that the show mat have to be stalled again.

Yellow warnings for high winds are in place for almost all of the country today while gales, torrential rain and wintry downpours are expected over the next few days as a big freeze hits the UK.

Last week, I’m A Celeb - which is filmed at Gwrych Castle in Abergele, Wales - was put on hold as 98mph winds form Storm Arwen battered the set.

TV insiders have told the Sun that the show is once again at risk having only got back on air last week.

A source told the newspaper: “Bosses have been down to the set today and while the winds aren’t as high as they were during Arwen, a lot of rain is coming and ITV need to be prepared for all eventualities.

“It’s all hands on deck to prepare for the weather - everyone fears the final could be ruined if it’s another washout.

“The worst thing would be another forced evacuation but the celebs safety comes first”.

In the wake of the extreme weather, all Bushtucker Trials are currently taking place inside the castle to ensure the celebrity campmates safety.

The celebrities were first evacuated from their campsite within the castle walls and forced to shelter within the great hall of the building for safety during Arwen.

The campmates were then moved to a secure location - whilst still remaining in their filming bubble - while production was safely re-established.
