I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 South Africa<\/a> viewers were left fuming just seconds into the ITV<\/a> programme\u2019s timeslot tonight, after they realised it would be airing 10 minutes later than usual.<\/p>\n

The Ant and Dec-fronted series<\/a> has returned with another batch of celebrities returning to take on some stomach-churning bushtucker trials.<\/p>\n

This year, the likes of Ashley Roberts and Gemma Collins<\/a> are joining Adam Thomas, Harry Redknapp, Scarlett Moffatt<\/a>, David Haye, Beverley Callard and Sir Mo Farah.<\/p>\n

Seann Walsh, Sinitta, Craig Charles, Jimmy Bullard and Adam Thomas complete the line-up for the highly anticipated series.<\/p>\n

The series is well underway, but tonight\u2019s show sparked outrage from fans when they realised it would be airing at the slightly later time of 9.10pm rather than 9pm.<\/p>\n

The weeknightly show, which has been pre-recorded, was pushed back due to ITV\u2019s coverage of the Women\u2019s World Cup Qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Taking to X to share their frustration before the episode even properly began, one viewer fumed: \u201cWhy the f*** is football on I’m crying.\u201d Another slammed: \u201cF off pointless football,\u201d while someone else wrote: \u201cIt\u2019s #ImACeleb 0\u2019clock.\u201d<\/p>\n

Someone else shared an eye-rolling meme, writing: \u201cOmg Im a celeb being delayed by football.\u201d Another person shared an image of the pundits on ITV, saying: \u201cCan these people talk faster? Wrap it up\u2026 #ImACeleb.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet another echoed: \u201cThe only people watching b****y football are waiting for #ImACeleb.\u201d<\/p>\n

Someone else saw the brighter side of things, writing: \u201cPeople moaning about a match which delayed it by 10 minutes yet it started 2 mins earlier than the delayed time.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the programme returned tonight, several others took to social media to bemoan David Haye\u2019s comments from a previous episode. The boxer sparked outrage over a rant about \u201cugly birds\u201d, while talking about his partner Sian.<\/p>\n

He had first called her \u201clovely\u201d, but then horrified his campmates when he carried on: \u201cShe\u2019s got the personality of a proper ugly bird.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on: \u201cShe has, honestly. Most ugly girls realise they\u2019ve gotta have a personality and the banter to tell jokes and s**t, so people overlook the fact that they\u2019re not aesthetically amazing straight away.\u201d He didn\u2019t stop there, going on: \u201cIt\u2019s called ugly duckling syndrome.\u201d<\/p>\n

As his campmates listened in shock, he went on: \u201cWhere girls are ugly when they start off, then they get pretty as they get older, but they\u2019ve still got the personality of when they were ugly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get a girl who was pretty from day one, everyone tells her she\u2019s amazing, so she grows up thinking \u2018I\u2019m amazing, everyone loves me, I can open up any door, I can go anywhere I want\u2019. They don\u2019t have to have a personality because most super pretty girls are idiots.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut their ugly friend, they\u2019ve got to work a bit harder. They\u2019ve got to be more personable, they\u2019ve got to be nicer to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

David\u2019s shocking comments sparked outrage from fans and celebrities alike, with Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain dismissing them, as she said: \u201cI just don\u2019t think it bears scrutiny.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2026 South Africa airs weeknights at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
