'Nobody cares about football' - I'm a Celebrity fans fuming as World Cup delays next exit

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! fans were seriously unimpressed after World Cup coverage on ITV pushed their favourite show back in the telly schedule. The jungle-based reality contest was already due to start at the later time of 9.15pm to accommodate the Wales vs USA match, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

However it started five minutes later as the coverage dominated ITV and fans were perplexed to see post-match analysis eating into their I'm a Celeb viewing. Many fans took to social media to vent their annoyance.

The later start meant fans would have to wait longer for the third celebrity eviction. Last night Scarlette Douglas was the latest campmate to exit the jungle after viewers voted for their favourites.

@TommyTxo raged: "P** off football." @gemgeds fumed: "When it’s 21:14 and ITV is still showing World Cup post-match coverage as if #ImACeleb doesn’t start in 1 minute #ImACelebrity." And @dan_langshaw1 tweeted: "Not about #ImACeleb being pushed back to see footballers talk about the game we just watched."

@lewiisjefferies said: "When there’s still people talking about people kicking a ball about instead of #ImACeleb on itv1." @MissFee85 remarked: "Come on football waiting for #ImACeleb."

@Fluffadelic urged: "Let’s get on with #ImACeleb." @GBGirly suggested: "ITV have 4 channels why not put football on one of those and leave normal programmes on for people who are not bothered about it."

@Shauna_c_jones pointed out: "#ImACeleb is already on dead late …. And now it’s delayed because of the football … even though the game is finished." And @turntheboxon vented: "The UK waiting for #ImACeleb to start, but having to sit through them chat s*** about a football game nobody cares about."
