I'm A Celebrity moved from usual slot in schedule shakeup as World Cup kicks off

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is facing a schedule shakeup tonight after being bumped from its usual air time of 9pm.

The popular ITV show, hosted by Ant and Dec, has been slightly delayed to make way for coverage of the 2022 World Cup, which is being hosted in Qatar.

I'm A Celeb, which has seen Charlene White and Scarlette Douglas leave camp, is set to start at a later time of 9.15pm on Monday to make way for the USA vs Wales game coverage.

The change was announced by hosts Ant and Dec at the end of Sunday's show as it was revealed that A Place In The Sun host Scarlette had been eliminated.

Scarlette, 35, was the second campmate to leave the series this year.

The TV presenter was seen in tears as she left camp and admitted she was devastated to go.

During her exit chat with Ant and Dec on the show, she said: "I'm absolutely gutted I'm not even going to lie about it.

"I know that some people wanted to leave and I was like 'I'm not ready to go yet'.

"I wanted to stay for as long as possible because those people are amazing and the jungle is incredible."

She revealed she was backing Babatúndé Aléshé to win as she said: "I miss them already. It's so tough but me and Baba had a really brother/sister bond so he's got to do it for the two of us now!"

Scarlette became the second camp mate to leave the jungle, with Loose Women star Charlene White as the first to exit camp.

After Charlene, 42, left camp she revealed she wouldn't FaceTime her children as she'd rather wait until she got home to speak to them.

When asked about video calling her children, she said: "I think them seeing me, will make them miss me even more. So I'll wait until I pick Alfie up from school next week. And then that'll be fine."

She continued: "I drew a chart that I drew and he is still crossing off all the squares for the days that I'm away and he'll be able to see that he's almost at the square that I put a star in which means that I will be home that day.

"I am desperate for hugs from both of them and desperate for a hug from [my partner] Andy."

In an update after leaving camp, a post on Charlene's Instagram page read: "Our girl is out the jungle!

"After an emotional reunion with her sister @_carinawh , a few telephone calls to family & friends, 3 showers (apparently very much needed after bathing in jungle water for weeks) & drinking lots of water, Charlene is doing great!

"We’ll be handing her socials back over to her soon".
