It took just a few minutes of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here<\/a> returning for its new series on Sunday night, for some tired viewers to push for a petition to make a major change to the hit show. And it’s all to do with what time it’s on.<\/p>\n For 23 years now, I’m A Celebrity has been one of the most watched programmes on British television. Since its launch back in 2022, when Tony Blackburn was crowned King of the Jungle, I’m A Celeb has proved to be unmissable TV and not even Covid could force it on air, with ITV<\/a> bosses instead moving the show from Australia to a castle in Wales to allow it to continue during the pandemic.<\/p>\n Last year’s jungle title was taken by McFly’s Danny Jones and, on Sunday evening, millions of viewers got their first look at the I’m A Celebrity 2025 line-up in action, with Ant and Dec <\/a>at the helm. Stars taking part this year include Martin Kemp, Kelly Brook, Jack Osbourne and early bookies favourite to win,<\/a> Angryginge, with them joining the likes of Eddie Kadi and Aitch as the new series launched in its usual 9pm slot.<\/p>\n And it’s the fact that I’m A Celebrity is on at 9 o’clock every night and often goes on for well over an hour, with its launch episode on until 10.35pm, that continues to be a gripe for a number of its fans. As the new series started, a post appeared on Facebook reading: ‘Going to start a petition for I’m A Celebrity to starts at 8pm for us grandmas.’<\/p>\n The idea quickly got plenty of support, with a fellow I’m A Celeb fan replied: ‘Not even the grandmas just us folk that go to work on Monday morning’ as another commented: ‘I’ve had a nana nap in prep!”<\/p>\n Those sentiments were echoed on X, as one irate and, presumably tired, viewer, ranted: ‘Who commissioned I\u2019m a Celebrity to be on at 9pm\u2026.. There\u2019s absolutely no need, do they not know their target audience goes to bed at 8pm.’<\/p>\n We have a dedicated newsletter for What\u2019s On news and reviews.
