Fears of more disruption grow for I'm A Celebrity after a power cut hit large parts of the neighbouring town of Abergele.

Many homes and businesses in the area have been hit by the outage after a "large bang" was heard on Sunday afternoon.

Gwrych Castle is understood to be unaffected but there are concerns about the impact any further outage might have for the production team.

Working is said to be going on "round the clock" to get the show back on air and repair any storm damage.

Last week ITV were forced to cancel the live scheduled programming for Friday due to adverse weather conditions.It was the first time a show had been cancelled in 19 years.

Storm Arwen swept across Wales causing chaos with wind speeds of up to 90mph.

During the storm, the production marquees at Gwrych Castle in Abergele sustained "significant damage".

The base experienced severe technical issues due to the damage, and ITV was forced to also cancel the scheduled programming for Saturday and Sunday as well.

Initially, the celebrities remained at the castle but ITV producers later reversed their decision and the campmates were also removed from the castle.The celebrities have returned to the quarantine rules that they had in place before entering the castle for the first time, and are now isolating on their own.ITV confirmed that once production is safe to continue, the celebrities will return to the castle and the show will resume.
