Ant and Dec announce later time for Jungle Club

Ant and Dec Announce New Jungle Club Timeslot for I’m A Celebrity Fans

In a recent Instagram update, Ant and Dec shared both good and disappointing news with their followers regarding the beloved Jungle Club. With the new season of I’m A Celebrity kicking off tonight, November 17, 2024, at 9 PM on ITV1 and ITVX, fans are abuzz with anticipation. However, the duo revealed that the Jungle Club will have a new schedule this year.

Traditionally, Ant and Dec would go live on Instagram immediately after each episode to interact with their fans. This year, however, they announced that Jungle Club will not air right after the main show. Dec stated, “Hi everybody. We’ve got a little update for you as lots of you have been asking about Jungle Club this year. We’ve got some good news and some bad news.” Ant chimed in with, “We’ll start with the bad news. Jungle Club will not be going on straight after the main show. Sorry.”

But there’s a silver lining. Ant and Dec revealed that their live session will now follow the new ITV2 spin-off show. “We are back, but we’re a little bit later,” Dec assured fans. The updated format, dubbed Jungle Club Late & Live, is designed for those night owls who stay up late.

With the new ITV2 spin-off, Unpacked, wrapping up at 11:45 PM, viewers might need to stay alert if they plan to join in. The spin-off will feature celebrity guests commenting on the contestants this season and will be hosted by Joel Dommett, DJ Kemi Rodgers, and Sam Thompson, the reigning King of the Jungle.

Fans had mixed reactions to the later timing of Jungle Club. Some expressed disappointment, lamenting that the new schedule might be too late for them. One fan remarked, “We need a way to watch Jungle Club the next day for us oldies that will be asleep by the time it’s on.” Another shared concern, asking if there would be an option to catch it later.

Despite the mixed feedback, excitement remains high for this year’s I’m A Celebrity, with viewers eager to find out who will be crowned the King or Queen of the Jungle. As the show’s premiere approaches, it seems one thing is certain: Ant and Dec continue to keep the spirit of entertainment alive!
