The start of this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has been delayed until Monday night.

The show typically launches on a Sunday evening, but has been pushed back a day this year.

This is because of England’s match against Spain in the Nations League, for which ITV holds the UK broadcast rights.

The broadcaster has bumped I’m A Celebrity for international football before, but this is the first time the launch night has been moved back.

ITV expects the England match, which will kick off at 7.45pm in Madrid, to get huge viewing figures.

The Three Lions have a chance to win the group should they win at the home of the world champions.

A special one-off show, called I'm A Celebrity: How To Survive The Jungle, will air at 6pm on Sunday directly before the live football coverage, which should hopefully keep reality TV fans happy.

An insider told The Sun: “Bosses have pulled out all the stops to ensure this year’s IAC launch show is must-see TV.

“Following the huge success of this year’s World Cup, bosses are overjoyed to have such a stellar lineup of entertainment and sport this autumn on ITV.”

The official launch will take place from 9pm on Monday on ITV - with former England captain Wayne Rooney among the campmates.

Rooney will be joined by Ade Adepitan, AJ Odudu, Chloe Burrows, Joanna Page, Claire Sweeney, Jack Skipper, Leomie Anderson, Mariella Frostrup, Ricky Wilson and Sharky.
