ITV I'm A Celeb's Ant and Dec issue 'important announcement' hours before live show
Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have shared an "important announcement" with I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! fans hours before the first live show of the 2024 series.
The Geordie duo took to their joint Instagram page and told their 5.2 million followers: "Hi everybody, Ant and Dec here. But you knew that.
"We've got a little update for you, because we know lots of you've been asking about Jungle Club this year. We've got some good news and we got some bad news. I'll start with the bad news, shall I?"
Ant took over from Dec to reveal: "Jungle Club will not be going on straight after the main show. Sorry. The good news is it will be going on straight after the new ITV2 show. Yay!"
Dec expressed: "So we are back, but we're a little bit later. Yes, we are. It's Jungle Club: Late & Live. One for all you night owls out there."

Jungle Club sees the Geordie duo hop on Instagram live after the main show to share their immediate reactions, funny stories as well as inside scoops.
The pair began the social media spin-off back in 2022 and this year will mark three years since they began the fan-favourite live session.
Jungle Club will follow new after-show I'm A Celebrity: Unpacked on ITV2, which will be hosted by Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson and DJ Kemi Rodgers.
Following Ant and Dec's announcement, their beloved fans flocked to the comments section on Instagram to share their reactions.
One unhappy viewer commented: "Gutted, I'd rather just have jungle club than the ITV2 show."
Another person said: "We need a way to watch jingle club the next day - for us oldies that will asleep by the time it's on!"
A third frustrated fan of the show penned: "Disappointed. Far too late for us oldies/early risers for workers."
While a fourth asked: "Could you please upload every single jungle club that you do this year onto your main instagram page so for people who like to sleep can watch it."
This year's line-up consists of Oti Mabuse, Alan Halsall, Jane Moore, Dean McCullough, Tulisa Contostavlos and Melvin Odoom.
Also heading Down Under are Coleen Rooney, Barry McGuigan, GK Barry and McFly's Danny Jones.
Love Island's Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Coles are rumoured to be the late entrants to the camp but ITV are yet to confirm this
I'm A Celebrity kicks off tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX followed by I'm A Celebrity: Unpacked on ITV2 at 10:30pm after the main show
