I'm A Celebrity LIVE: Danny Jones is first star to arrive after bumpy landing at Brisbane Airport

2 weeks ago 3

I'm A Celebrity's all star cast have begun arriving in Australia, with nervous celebrities filtering their way through Brisbane Airport.

But among the first to touch down was host Declan Donnelly, who decided to head to Australia with wife Ali Astall and their two children Isla and Jack a week early for some family time together in the sun. Co-host Ant McPartlin has since arrived solo, without wife Anne-Marie Corbett and their young son Wilder, who was born in May.

Geordie pair Ant and Dec are once again staying in a beachfront £1,000-a-night penthouse they normally rent which is a short drive away from the I'm A Celebrity jungle.

A total of 12 famous faces will spend up to three weeks in camp starting next weekend, with two traditionally going into camp as late arrivals.

Thunderstorm chaos at Brisbane Airport

Danny Jones started his I'm A Celebrity adventures a week early - as a severe thunderstorm caused his flight to dramatically delay landing when Brisbane airport shut down.

The singer and guitarist from pop band McFly, was due to arrive at Brisbane airport on Sunday after flying in from London but flight SQ245 flew into a giant storm which caused the runway to be closed.

A statement over the tannoy in the Brisbane airport arrivals hall said "The runway is currently closed until the storm has passed." It went on to say any flights landed would also face delays as staff were unable to remove baggage. The storm is scheduled to last for at least an hour, with the flight originally due to have landed around the time the runway closed.
