I’m A Celebrity semi-final delayed in ITV schedule shake-up
THE I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here semi-final has been delayed after a schedule shake-up on ITV this weekend.
The popular programme is due to come to an end after almost three weeks of competition between celebs in the jungle.
Fans of the ITV show have been tuning in every night at 9pm for new episodes of the series – but the semi-final will start slightly later.
The semi-final is due to kick off at 9:15pm, pushed back due to the FIFA World Cup 2022 being broadcast live on the channel.
On Saturday, ITV will play the live matches from 12pm through until the beginning of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.
But fans have no need to worry about missing out on 15 minutes of the show – as the show has been extended to end at 10:20pm.
