I’m A Celebrity camp battered by storms ahead of start date

I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here's camp in Australia has been flooded by storms over the weekend.

This comes after the country has faced multiple floods throughout the year.

A brand new series of I'm A Celeb is set to air on Sunday 6 November for the first time in Australia since the pandemic.

The last two seasons of the show have been filmed in Wales's Gwrych Castle due to travel restrictions.

It's been said that 96mm of rain fell from Saturday 22 October to Monday 24 October in the location, causing fears that celebrities will have to be evacuated if the storms occur during filming.

Murwillumbah – a town near the jungle – was battered back in March due to Australia's storms. Many homes were also evacuated.

A source told The Mirror: "The ground will be getting more and more saturated by the heavy rain and so we could do with some sunshine – that the show is famous for Down Under – to kickstart the series and avoid any setbacks.

"The outlook for the next few days is looking better, but the weather can change quickly here, as we have seen in the past."

I'm A Celeb has had a history of evacuations due to weather conditions.

In 2015, the jungle had to be evacuated after it was hit with lightening, thunder and torrential rain.

The show's cameras and lighting also lost power due to the weather.

Last year in Wales, the show was forced to evacuate Gwrych Castle after being hit by reckless weather.

The roof of the set was taken off and celebrities had to stay in guest houses nearby.

Viewers could also only watch highlights and pre-recorded videos of Ant and Dec before the set was repaired and filming could start again.

I'm A Celeb is set to return to screens on Sunday 6 November. This is a week earlier than usual due to the start of the World Cup on Monday 21 November.

Celebrities who are rumoured to be part of the lineup include Boy George, Mike Tindall and Chris Moyles.

However spokesperson for ITV said in a statement: "Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! are just speculation. We'll announce our line up for the new series nearer its transmission."
