Is I'm A Celebrity on tonight, time and is it a live episode after backlash?

We're already nearly a week into this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

And it's already been an eventful six days.

Ten new celebrities headed for Gwrych Castle last Sunday (November 26) when the 2021 series of the ITV reality show launched.

Ant and Dec were back to welcome the new batch of famous faces before throwing them into their first set of challenges.

Soap star Danny Miller, music producer Naughty Boy, presenter Louise Minchin and radio DJ Snoochie Shy as well as French footballer star David Ginola, Paralympic gold champion Kadeena Cox, former Strictly Come Dancing judge Dame Arlene Phillips and diver Matty Lee have all signed up for I'm A Celeb's 21st series.

And earlier this week, two new additions joined the camp.

Soap icons Simon Gregson and Adam Woodyatt made their first appearance on Wednesday night before making their entrance with a gruesome trial on Thursday.

But as more people arrived, one had to leave.

Richard was forced out of the show after falling ill in the camp. As a precaution, the GMB star was taken to hospital but had to withdraw from the programme after breaking the 'Covid bubble'.

The show, however, must go on and I'm A Celeb is back on ITV at 9pm tonight .

And it WILL be an actual episode.

Bosses confirmed to the Mirror earlier this week that the show will return as normal after airing a highlights version last year.

I'm A Celeb fans were unhappy with the episode which recapped moments from the previous week.

I'm A Celebrity's Creative Director Tom Gould told the Mirror : "We listened to what the viewers were saying last year and brought it back."
