I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2026 starts on Monday, November 16 at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX. That is a day later than the usual Sunday launch, because ITV is showing England’s Nations League match against Spain on Sunday, November 15. Ant and Dec present live every night from the camp in New South Wales, Australia.
