Axed this weekend, it’s still not clear when the popular ITV show will be back on air. Campmates were evacuated from Gwrych Castle, near Abergele, and are still quarantining, awaiting for health and safety advisers to give it the all-clear.

While producers are confident the series will resume, it could be days before the campmates’ reunion can be aired as episodes generally screen the action from the previous day in camp.

High winds during Storm Arwen caused a 100ft tree to crash into the wall of the castle.

The 11 celebrities were removed, but damage was also caused to the production camp and medical unit.

“We’re taking each day as it comes,” said a source on site.

Some viewers want the North Wales site to be abandoned and have the series return next year in the Australian jungle.

One fan demanded on social media: “Just scrap it till it can be done in Australia again.”

The series has also suffered a fall in ratings to an average of 6.35million on Friday.

Last year’s ‑ which aired during the second UK lockdown ‑ averaged 8.4million.

An insider said: “This is an on-going live situation and we’re taking each day as it comes and working round the clock.

“Our priority is safely getting the whole site back up and running which means the show is back on air in the quickest time possible.

“We’re currently not in a position to confirm when we’ll be back on air but we’ll absolutely keep you posted when we get more updates.”

This disaster follows Express columnist Richard Madeley being forced out after breaking the camp’s secure Covid bubble when he was taken to hospital.

Friday’s show was pre-recorded before the weekend’s episodes were pulled. In place of new episodes, highlights of previous series were shown.
