THE first I'm A Celebrity arrivals are experiencing flight chaos after a major lightning storm in Brisbane closed the runway. McFly star Danny Jones and spin-off show hosts Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and Kemi Rodgers were expected to be in Oz already. But a severe storm has led to a hefty delay and it is currently uncertain just where their plane will land as rain continues to hammer down.
Their Singapore Airlines flight was due to land at 8.56pm local time - but Brisbane Airport’s tarmac has been closed due to the weather . Thunder and lightning started cracking shortly after 7pm and heavy rain is set to continue past midnight.
A tannoy announcement at the airport said the “tarmac is closed which means bags can’t be unloaded”. They said it will continue to operate properly once the storm has passed. READ MORE ON I'M A CELEB Hosts Ant and Dec are already in the country and managed to arrive in much sunnier conditions.
