ITV I'm A Celebrity in schedule shake-up just days after launch ahead of new arrival Matt Hancock

We're only a matter of days into the new series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here but there's already going to be a change that may disgruntle viewers. The ITV reality show fronted by Ant and Dec made a grand return on Sunday night (November 6) with more than nine million people tuning in to the launch.

Viewers were keen to see the likes of former Love Island star Olivia Attwood, radio DJ Chris Moyles, Loose Women's Charlene White, singer Boy George, ex-rugby star Mike Tindall, and Coronation Street legend Sue Cleaver meet for the first time and face their first challenges before officially heading into the jungle.

And in the second episode of the show's 2022 series, fans watched as the ten celebrities getting used to their new surroundings. But there was already a bit of drama earlier in the day when it was revealed that Olivia had been forced to withdraw from the show. TV said the 31-year-old former reality show contestant has been told by the programme's medical team it is not safe for her to return to camp, meaning she is the first contestant to leave the show this year.
