I'm A Celebrity viewers complain after spotting major issue with the scheduled start time: 'It's rude!'
Fans of the show are getting frustratedI’m A Celebrity viewers have begun complaining in their droves after realising the scheduled start time is late every night.
Avid fans tuning in to ITV for their nightly fix at 9pm on the dot have noticed the programme isn’t kicking off when it should.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly aren’t appearing on screen until a good three or four minutes after they are supposed to. And viewers are getting frustrated.
I’m A Celebrity fans fume at ‘late’ start time
Last night, one I’m A Celebrity fan even preempted the show starting late. They wrote on X: “Who’s betting I’m A Celeb is gonna be late starting again lol?”
When it did in fact start after its scheduled 9pm time, another wrote: “It’s so rude of them to start I’m A Celebrity 3 minutes late every night and then push 30 ad breaks on us within the space of an hour. Someone else quipped: “ITV start I’m A Celeb on time challenge (impossible).”
Another person shared a Gif of Peter Kay in the music video for (Is This the Way to) Amarillo. The comedian, wearing a purple suit, walks on the spot briskly for the duration of the visual.
The fan captioned the Gif: “The UK on their way to the kitchen at 9pm to make a brew because I’m A Celebrity doesn’t start until 9.04pm.” A fifth person even suggested: “I’m A Celeb starting 5 minutes late every single night just to drive up their ad revenue.”
TVGuide has contacted ITV for comment.
Who went home from I’m A Celebrity last night?
Last night, Vogue Williams became the third celebrity to be eliminated from the show. She was sent packing following the latest public vote. Vogue was in the bottom two alongside Kelly Brook, who lives to see another day in the jungle.
Vogue has since appeared on ITV1 show, Lorraine, and says she is missing the jungle. The Irish broadcaster also admitted she had undergone hypnotherapy before her stint.
“I got hypnotised for cockroaches because I am so petrified of them,” Vogue said. “I did get to face that fear. I was probably hypnotised against seeing a cockroach in a bathroom. I don’t know if it worked having thousands of them poured on your head.”
Vogue says her husband Spencer was the first person she spoke to after leaving the jungle. She has now tipped Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson as her winner.
“I genuinely would love to see Tom go the distance,” she added. “He is an exceptional human. He’s kind, has got a lovely soul and it’s like he is from back in time. And he’s funny and gets stuff done.”
When is the I’m A Celebrity final?
The I’m A Celebrity campmates are now in their third week of this year’s series.
The eliminations will now continue every single night until the I’m A Celebrity 2025 final. The show will wrap up on Sunday December 7 with a huge finale episode.
There are usually just two campmates left in the jungle by the final. One of those will be crowned this year’s King or Queen of the Jungle.
The bumper-length show starts at 9pm and ends at 10.40pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
