I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa has been entertaining audiences almost nightly since it was launched just after Easter – but there has already been a change in the schedules.
So far, viewers of the Ant and Dec survival series have seen the likes of Coronation Street star Beverley Callard, Gogglebox’s Scarlett Moffatt, and boxer David Haye, all of whom have appeared on the regular edition of the show, battle it out to become the next Jungle Legend.
The show traditionally airs at 9pom and fans are usually treated to up to 90 minutes of jungle action on a daily basis, but things will be differently on Tuesday 14 April.
The programme will be delayed as ITV is set to provide live coverage of the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers from 6:30pm. This means that soap fans will also miss out on Emmerdale and Coronation Street, as they have been pulled from the schedules entirely.

Fortunately, though, for I’m A Celeb fans, tonight’s episode of the all-star series will be broadcast immediately after the game has ended, meaning they only have to wait until 9:10pm to find out what has been going on in the outback. The episode will air for an hour, and finish at 10:10pm.
Last night, former King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp and ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard were late arrivals and immediately became team captains. Harry, 79, who won in 2018, and Jimmy, 47, from the 2014 series, split the camp into fierce rivals – the Lions and the Rhinos.
The reds and greens then went head to head in the Wicked Watering Hole challenge that saw them wade into a huge mud pit, collect rocks from the middle, and race them back to their bowl.
Former professional boxer David Haye and Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts joined forces for the Red team, while actor Adam Thomas and TV legend Craig Charles got down and dirty for the Greens.

However, the episode ended on a cliffhanger and the result will be revealed in tonight’s show. Viewers will also be no doubt hooked on the tensions that have developed since David Haye made a series of controversial comments about women.
It all started innocently enough when it was suggested the group of celebs should meet up for a party when they left the show, and David said his girlfriend Sian was a great cook and could possibly provide food for the event. He then added: “She’s like tall, blue eyes. She’s lovely. She’s got the personality of a proper ugly bird.”
Scarlett replied: “You can’t say that.” But David brushed off the response and added: “She has. Most ugly girls realise they don’t they’re not pretty enough to….they gotta have a personality to banter and to tell jokes and s**t, so people overlook the fact that they’re not aesthetically amazing, straight”Which is what’s called Ugly Duckling syndrome, where girls are ugly, when they start off, and then they and then they kind of they, they get pretty as they get older. But they still got the personality of when they’re ugly. Does that make sense?”
As Scarlett and others made shocked noises, David continued to express his opinions. Haye added: “You get a girl who’s pretty from day one, you get a girl who’s different day one. Everyone goes ‘You’re so beautiful. You’re amazing’. She grows up thinking, I’m amazing. Everyone loves me. I can open any door. I can go anywhere I want.
“They don’t have to have a personality, because most super pretty girls are just idiots. But then their ugly friend, they’ve got work a bit harder, be more personable. They got to be nicer to everyone. Gonna get you a drink.”
