Complaints pour in as ITV airs Cyclone

The I’m A Celebrity campmates took on Celebrity Cyclone tonight (December 7) .
But after complaints that viewers were made to wait an extra 30 minutes after the start of the show was pushed back, fans were left further disgruntled when an ill-timed ad stopped the trial before it had even got started.
The start of tonight’s show saw Ant and Dec recap GK Barry and Alan Halsall’s exit. Then, after 10 minutes of camp chat, it was hotpants and capes at the ready as the gang headed down to the Cyclone clearing.

Celebrity Cyclone fans bemoan ill-timed ad
With Oti, Richard, Danny and Coleen in place at the start of the trial, the wind machines kicked in, the water cannons erupted and a giant fireball signalled the start of the trial.
However, no sooner had Rev Richard slipped off the rotating platform and into the water, you guessed it, an ad break kicked in. And, we’re guessing you’ve probably realised what happened next…
“We wait all year for this trial and they only go and put a bloody ad on before it,” complained one viewer. “Ah feck it,another break,” said a second. A third echoed: “When they start the Celebrity Cyclone but then go straight to an ad break.”
The complaints kept coming thick and fast.
“The blowing the klaxon and then dropping to an ad break has to be one of the most bloody irritating pieces of TV editing on all TV. Every time,” said another. “Ad break just before Cyclone,” a fifth added. “Ofc there’s an ad break,” another complained.
I’m A Celeb delated by You Bet!
It came after I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec announced tonight’s episode of the show would air at a new later time.
Throughout the 2024 series, the show has aired every single night on ITV1 at 9pm.
Tonight (December 7), however, that all changed – thanks to the brand-new series of You Bet! slipping into the show’s regular slot.
