I'm A Celebrity axed tonight and tomorrow after sudden double eviction
I’m A Celebrity fans will have to wait until Monday for the next instalment of the All Stars show.
Viewers hoping to watch celebs take on more Bushtucker Trials in South Africa over the weekend - when the ITV show is usually on - will be disappointed.
Instead the new series of Britain’s Got Talent is on Saturday at 9pm instead. While new hospital drama Malpractice airs on ITV on Sunday at 9pm.
The TV schedule shake-up comes as two campmates left I’m A Celeb last night in a shock double eviction.
Former You Are What You Eat host Gillian McKeith and Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder were the first two celebrities to leave this year’s show.

'Frenemies' Shaun and Gillian left the camp in a shock double eviction (ITV)The pair were evicted from the camp after coming last in the Savage Safari trial, which aired on Friday night.
Despite clashing when they both appeared on the show in 2010, Shaun picked Gillian as his team mate for the task.
Shaun shocked the other camp mates when he announced: “Who have I chosen to team up with? My old mucker – we worked so well together the other day – I’ve chosen Gillian.”
A shocked Gillian sat bolt upright and exclaimed: “Oh for God’s sake no! I don’t want to do it. I’ll be hopeless.”
Former supermodel Janice Dickinson chimed in: “Oh my God. The old enemies!”
“Please don’t do this, I don’t want to go home,” Gillian begged Shaun, but he replied: “Well, you’re on the trial with me.”

She added his choice in getting her to do the trial with him was “passive aggression” from their past fallouts in 2010.
The unlikely duo teamed up for the task, but it ended it tears when true to form Gillian freaked out.
Gillian and Shaun were competing against and and Phil Tuffnell and Georgia 'Toff' Toffolo.

Each team was handcuffed together and had to remove spanners and wrenches from three boxes containing nasties to eventually get themselves free.
Fellow campmates Phil and Toff sailed through the challenge (ITV/REX/Shutterstock)Toff and Phil got off to the best start, quickly passing the snake challenge and racing to the second set of boxes, which were filled with offal. For their third box, they were tasked with removing the spanner from a box of rats.
Andy and Jordan were quick on their tails and managed to go ahead of them at the halfway point, with Toff and Phil eventually falling to second place.
But Gillian and Shaun struggled to get off the first box, when Gillian refused to put her hand in with the snakes.
As a result, the pair were told they were heading home and were out of the competition.

She said: “I heard a rumour he might be going in and I was horrified. Then when I saw him as I arrived I said ‘hello Shaun’ and I felt something shifted, even in that moment. He was very welcoming – we got on brilliantly."
The last time the pair appeared on the ITV series 13 years ago it was carnage, with the Happy Mondays singer branding Gillian “a f***ing irritating woman”.
