The wait is finally over for reality television fans across the UK. The iconic series I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! makes its grand return tonight for a monumental 25th season, plunging a fresh batch of ten celebrities into the Australian jungle.
What time does I'm a Celeb start tonight?
Mark your calendars and set your reminders. ITV has confirmed that the series 25 premiere is scheduled for a feature-length broadcast this evening. The show is set to begin at 9pm on ITV1 and STV for viewers in Scotland.
This special extended episode will see the ten new campmates, including Alex Scott, Martin Kemp, and Ruby Wax, enter the jungle under the watchful eyes of veteran hosts Ant and Dec. The cast will begin their survival challenge in the wilderness of Murwillumbah, New South Wales, all vying to succeed last year's champion, Danny Jones.
How long is the first episode and when does it finish?
Fans are in for a treat with an extended opening night. Rather than the standard one-hour slot, the premiere is scheduled to run for over an hour and a half. According to the official schedule, the show is expected to conclude at approximately 10.35pm.
For those who cannot catch the broadcast live, ITV will make the entire episode available on its streaming platform, ITVX (or STV Player in Scotland), shortly after it finishes airing on television.
Where to get your extra jungle fix
The action does not stop when the main show ends. Viewers hungry for more can immediately switch over to ITV2 to watch I'm a Celebrity... Unpacked. This companion show provides deeper analysis, exclusive unseen footage, and further discussion about the events unfolding in the camp.
With the start time locked in and the celebrities ready for their jungle ordeal, the nation is set for another thrilling series of bush tucker trials and campfire drama.
