The extended episode means the News at 10 will be shifted from its regular slot
The I’m A Celebrity All Stars action – complete with the show’s full line-up – will kick off on ITV1 at 9pm.
The extended episode means the News at 10 will be shifted from its regular slot.
It has been moved 30 minutes later on Monday, and is scheduled to start at 10.30pm instead.
On Tuesday, the news will air at 10.15pm and be broadcast 10 minutes earlier, at 10.05pm, on Wednesday.
On Thursday, the news returns to the 10.15pm slot while on Friday it again airs at 10.05pm.
For the all stars series of I’m A Celebrity, the show has moved to South Africa.
ITV has taken over a space six times bigger than their usual plot on Australia’s Gold Coast for the camp, Bushtucker Trials, and other challenges.
Instead the camp is located in Kruger National Park.
It means the celebrities are surrounded by wild animals some five miles away from the nearest road and 40 minutes drive from a village.
ITV has promised “bigger and tougher challenges” in the “harsher” environment of the South African outback.
With no public vote, the stars will be competing against each other to be crowned the first ever “I’m A Celebrity Legend.”
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa starts on Monday 24th April at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
