When Is I'm a Celebrity Starting
ITV loves to keep us guessing, don’t they? They play hard to get. But if you look at history, the show almost always lands on a Sunday in the second or third week of November.
For 2026, whispers are pointing toward a launch date of Sunday, November 17th. Don’t quote me on that, but I’d already start clearing my schedule. You don’t want to miss the first episode where everyone is still polite and has dry hair.
That’s less than a month away. Get your snacks ready! We are entering the sacred period of the year where we watch people eat fermented fish eyes at 10 PM on a Tuesday.
What?s With The Delay?
You?d think they?d just throw them in there in October. But no. We have to suffer through Strictly and The X Factor: The Band first. ITV is a tease. They want to build the anticipation until we are desperate for Ant and Dec's cheeky grins.
The show usually runs for three weeks. That means it finishes just before Christmas. Perfect timing, right? You get to watch celebrities melt down while you're worrying about buying presents.
It’s like a little slice of absurdist chaos before the festive family arguments begin. I live for that energy.
