I’m a Celebrity what’s on instead?

In the slot vacated by I’m A Celebrity, ITV has gone to two popular stars to bridge the gap.

DNA Journey first aired on the channel in 2019, and episode one of the series showed cricket star and Top Gear presenter Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff team up with Jamie Redknapp.

The pair use DNA technology to trace their ancestors.

When will I’m A Celebrity be back?

That may be tonight, but the good news is that I’m A Celebrity will return tomorrow after a weekend of storm-related turmoil.

The channel said: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! will return from tomorrow night (Tuesday 30th November) on ITV and ITV Hub with a brand new show.

“Ant & Dec will be back presenting live from the Castle.”

Great news for fans, celebs and the production crew all around.

Fans were stunned when the show was taken off air because of the impact of Storm Arwen.

On Saturday the channel and the production team took the decision to evacuate Gwrych Castle.

Taking to their personal Instagram account Ant and Dec addressed the situation.

Dec said: “The site was quite badly damaged during the storm and they [the crew] are in there, working round the clock, to try and get it back up and running, and back up to speed, so we can get back on-air as quickly as humanely possible.”

DNA Journey is on tonight at 9pm on ITV (Monday November 29)
