What time in I’m a Celeb on?

I’m a Celebrity 2024 begins at 9pm tonight (Sunday November 17) on ITV 1 and ITV X. The programme will finish at 10.45pm. This extra long show is typical of the launch show, as this is when all of the contestants are introduced.

Will I’m a Celeb be live?

It doesn’t appear as though this year’s I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here launch show will be live. When NationalWorld asked the ITV press office what will be happening, they told us that the whole series will be a mixture of live and pre-recorded footage, but didn’t comment on the launch show specifically.

What’s the time difference between the UK and Australia?

There’s a big time difference between the UK and Australia. The Aussie time zone is 10 hours ahead of the UK one. So, that means when we are tuning in at 9pm Sunday November 17 UK time, it will actually be 7am Monday November 18 in the jungle.

So, it’s actually not completely impossible that at least some aspect of the show will be live. Especially considering that it will be getting on for 9am for the campmates by the latter part of the show.

Presenters Ant and Dec have previously gone in to camp at 7am Aussie time to film live segments with the contestants, usually to announce which one of them has been voted out.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
