I’m A Celebrity fans beg bosses to make huge change to show

One series a year is not enough!

The launch of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! saw its highest viewing figures for five years, and now fans of the show are demanding two series next year!

This year’s series marked the first that Holly Willoughby has co-hosted alongside Dec Donnelly, as Ant McPartlin takes the rest of the year off to focus on his sobriety.

And now, viewers have decided that three weeks just isn’t long enough to watch the celebrities roughing it in camp and chowing down on critters.

One tweeted: “#imaceleb can we have this show at least twice a year pretty please. I can’t wait another WHOLE YEAR for my fave show.”

Another wrote: “This programme should be on twice a year, I thought it wouldn’t be as good this year without Ant but Dec & Holly did a great job.”

A third pleaded: “It should be on twice a year… maybe march as well. I’m fed up being a year older every time it comes on.”

But that’s not the only change that people want to see.

Some viewers fancy a taste of the jungle for themselves and have pleaded for ITV bosses to make a civilian version of the show!

“#imaceleb they need to do 2 shows a year.. I can’t wait already for the next one. They should do, im a civilian get me outa here.! 😂”, suggested one fan.

A second tweeted: “@imacelebrity should be on twice a year, once with celebrities and another with just ordinary people.”

There will be a change to next year’s show because Ant McPartlin, 43, is expected to return to co-host with Dec Donnelly, also 43.

This series, Holly Willoughby, 37, stood in for Ant as he takes time out of the spotlight following a stint in rehab.

Well, if ITV do decide to double up on series there’s going to be a heck of a lot more cockroaches on the loose!
