I’m A Celebrity 2020 return confirmed by ITV

BGT is also returning this year

I’m A Celebrity and Britain’s Got Talent will return in 2020, ITV has confirmed.

Will I’m A Celebrity return in 2020?

A 20th series of the hit jungle reality show will air in 2020, with a documentary celebrating its history so far also scheduled.

There had been fears that the coronavirus pandemic could reportedly kill off hopes of the show continuing in its familiar format.

As well as reports suggesting I’m A Celebrity could be moved from Australia to Scotland, it was also pondered whether the series would air at all.

A one off catch-up show is also planned to get fans up to speed on how acts have progressed so far.

The Voice UK has also been announced as picking up where it left off with a catch up show, a semi final and the live final still to occur.
