ITV I'm A Celebrity delay announced for upcoming programme

I'm A Celebrity fans are often creatures of habit, settling down to watch the latest episode of the cult 'fly on the Jungle canopy' programme on a nightly basis while it last through the autumn evenings. Friday may just knock that routine, though, as there is a change coming.

As the jungle 'family' begins to reduce in number, different personalities start to come to the forefront and the voting becomes more unpredictable. Charlene White, Scarlette Douglas and Sue Cleaver have already packed up their rucksacks and left the show, with shock voting including Sunday's announcement that it was both Scarlette and Babatunde Aleshe who found themselves in the bottom two.

However, as the evictions continue and we head towards the final on Sunday, November 27, fans will have to wait longer for Friday, November 25's episode after a change to the ITV scheduling. A FIFA World Cup 2022 match means that I'm A Celeb will air at a later time than usual.

Fan's of the ITV show will have to wait for their favourite programme to begin. But as the game delaying the jungle action on Friday, November 25 is England v USA's World Cup match, schedulers may be forgiven - especially by followers of both the show and sport.

Kick-off for the match is at 7pm but ITV coverage, including the preamble, will begin at 6.05pm. It is scheduled to run until 9.15pm. World Cup match coverage Netherlands v Ecuador is scheduled to begin at 3pm on that day and run until 6.05pm.

The football coverage means that I'm A Celebrity has been bumped from its regular 9pm slot to 9.15pm on Friday, November 25. It is scheduled to run until 10.20pm when the ITV News will follow.

Changes to scheduling are often made for live high-profile events and it's not the first time that Ant, Dec and the campmates have had to take a later slot, and it won't be the last. Changes will also be made on Saturday, November 26, when a 9.15 finish for Argentina v Mexico shifts I'm a Celeb to 9.15pm again.
