“They have now cancelled filming today and are hoping to resume tomorrow.

“But this is a huge headache and will make everything a far closer call when it comes to getting enough footage in the can for Monday night’s launch show.
“Naturally, if the fire is still posing a risk the show will be pushed back again.
