ITV bosses are set to air a super-long bumper episode of I 'm A Celebrity after viewers complained the comeback episode was 'too short' after the show was forced off air for three nights.
I'm A Celeb hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly and the stars of the 2021 series were forced to evacuate the set earlier this week after Storm Arwen and poor weather conditions caused havoc on the set at Gwrych Castle.
The show was pre-recorded on last Friday due to the weather conditions, before the decision to axe it on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.
But on Tuesday evening, the show made it's hotly-anticipated comeback - but it left fans less than impressed.
Viewers flocked in their hundreds to slam the 'boring' and 'short' episode as some even revealed that they were forced to 'switch off' due to the lack of drama as the show made it's return.
Following the criticism, ITV bosses have now confirmed that they are set to dedicate extra time to a bumper episode to make up for lost time.
ITV will air the 'super-long' episodes which will last an hour and 20 minutes starting on Friday at 9pm.
The episodes will stay in place until Thursday next week, but after that, they'll move to a movie-length hour and 35 minutes.
The news comes as fans complained that the 2021 series 'is just not the same' as previous years.
Unimpressed I'm A Celeb fans have insisted that the show lacks excitement and the same sparkle it once had when it was filmed in the ever-famous Australian jungle.
Due to the Covid pandemic, bosses were forced to think outside the box amid travel restrictions, and so, the show has been filmed in Wales for the past two series.
Sharing their thoughts on Tuesday night's comeback episode, one fan fumed: "It's just not the same as the jungle. Huge disappointment."
"I'm A Celeb 2021 is officially dead," another complained.
"I don't know why they bothered carrying on with this series. It's so boring," someone else added.
Meanwhile, another viewer admitted that they switched off.
"Honestly I had to switch channels. It's so boring and there's zero drama. Bring back Kim Woodburn and Katie Price," they complained.
The 2021 series has been hit with disaster after disaster since it first debuted on ITV on Nov 21.
