    I'm a Celebrity will move to a later timeslot on Tuesday night as part of an ITV schedule rejig.

    Millions of fans have been tuning in for the opening episodes of this year's show, which started on Sunday and have been airing from 9pm.

    The likes of 1980s pop icon Boy George, former Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles and ex-England rugby player Mike Tindall – the husband of Zara Phillips – are all currently adapting to life in the jungle in what is believed to be one of the most expensively-assembled I'm a Celebrity casts in its 21-season history.

    Former health secretary Matt Hancock, meanwhile, is set to be a controversial addition to the show with even Prime Minister Rishi Sunak criticising his participation.

    Hancock and comedian Seann Walsh are set to join their fellow campmates imminently, having already both been spotted in Brisbane airport.

    But one person who won't be crowned Queen of the Jungle is former Love Island contestant Olivia Attwood.

    She withdrew from the show just 24 hours in, with a statement from I'm a Celeb chiefs reading: "As a precautionary measure Olivia needed to leave the jungle to undergo some medical checks. Unfortunately the medical team has advised it is not safe for Olivia to return to camp as there needs to be a further investigation. She has been absolutely brilliant and she'll be very much missed on the show."

    Episodes of the show are to be aired every night until the anticipated end of this series on Sunday, November 27.

    But it has been confirmed that this year's third episode will begin at a slightly later time on Tuesday evening due to Martin Lewis' Money Show Live running on ITV from 8pm to 9.15pm.

    It means I'm a Celebrity will be shown 15 minutes later than is normally the case and the episode will also be shorter, lasting an hour rather than one hour and 20 minutes.
