As Friday’s episode concluded following the double eviction of Alan Halsall and GK Barry, the hosts revealed that Saturday’s penultimate episode will be moved to a later time slot.
Ant and Dec informed viewers that the ITV programme will be switched from its usual 9pm slot to the later time of 9.30pm, to accommodate for the revival of classic gameshow You Bet! hosted by Stephen Mulhern and Holly Willoughby.
The move will be the first time the series has shifted from the regular 9pm slot in the 2024 series.
I’m A Celebrity will air for around an hour and five minutes with an approximate finish time of 10.35pm, which means a much later bedtime for viewers who usually turn in for the night after the show.
And it appears that viewers are less than happy with the schedule shake-up, with some taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, to complain.

They penned: ‘9.30??? PM??? You’re having a laugh’
‘9.30pm start tomorrow gunna be a late night’
While another posted a meme of an unimpressed woman with the words: ‘I’m too old for that.’
The timing change comes after GK Barry and Alan Halsall became the latest stars leave I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in yet another shock double vote off.
The TikTok star, 25, was surprised by girlfriend Ella Rutherford and the couple shared a kiss on the famous bridge, after weeks of pining for a ‘snog’ from her partner.
She told hosts Ant and Dec: ‘I can’t believe I’ve looked like that on national TV, for several days. It was worse than I expected, I thought it would just be tanning and having a good time. That was hell, I wouldn’t put my worst enemy through that but the people in there were amazing so that made it great’.
‘I feel so much more comfortable in myself, being me, I feel like I’ve found myself in Thailand one of those ones – that will last a week.
GK, whose real name in Grace Keeling, formed an unlikely friendship in the Jungle with Reverend Richard Coles, 62, and discussing their bond admitted: ‘I usually eat when I’m bored so those things were hard, until Richard came in and then I was never bored.

‘I’m a potty mouth vile person and when he came in I thought we’re not going to click here. But he’s more dirty than me, I was shocked that we got on so well, he’s my favourite person’.
‘He thinks he can save me and I think I can save him, it’s a two way system. He’s taking me to the opera, I’m taking him to get a vaggazle.
Before gushing: ‘The first thing I’m doing is giving Ella big snog and eating a bacon role’.
Meanwhile Coronation Street star Alan said about his own time in the jungle : ‘I’ve learnt that I should put myself out there more, I can make friends’.
‘I was trying to get it through to other people to enjoy it, and crack on, when else are you going to be in the Jungle in the middle of Australia. You won’t believe it but back at home I won’t pick up a spider. But here one crawled across my face and another jumped in my mouth and I didn’t bat an eyelid’.

He went on: ‘Clearly I get emotional talking about my daughter, but the hardest thing also was boredom. Even though it’s only weeks, it’s very intense and when you see a loved one, it’s grabs your throat that emotion.
‘The first thing I could ask is is Sienna happy, is she happy watching daddy. I think Danny will win it, but I think for Oti it would be for her great to win for her career.’
Meanwhile on Unpacked he said: ‘There were some big performances in there and then after a couple of days it started to settle, we learnt about each other’s families.
‘Showing the country the real me is something i have shied away from, I consider myself an actor first and foremost so doing a show that has the word Celebrity in the title is very different for me. I’m not sure I will do something like this again, but it’s been a great experience.
