I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has long marked the countdown to Christmas but this year things could be very different. The popular series is set to return to Australia after two years in Wales due to the pandemic but the start date could be brought forward.
ITV bosses are said to be considering moving the launch date, which usually airs in November, to avoid clashing with the international football coverage. The Qatar 2022 World Cup will kick off on November 21, which is the exact date I'm A Celebrity started last year.
A source told The Sun: "Two of ITV's biggest juggernauts - not just of the season but the whole year - are I'm a Celeb and its international football coverage.So it makes sense to keep them apart, and as the World Cup isn't going to budge, it makes sense to move Ant and Dec."
