I’M A Celebrity returns to its prime slot tonight with an epic bumper-length episode that will see one star sent packing from the castle.

The show, hosted by Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, will come live from Gwyrch Castle in North Wales at 9pm.

Naughty Boy and the I’m A Celeb gang are back at 9pm tonight

It was pushed back to 9.15pm last night but it seems that timeslot was only temporary, with transmission moved 15 minutes earlier for Sunday night’s show.

I’m A Celeb is part of a bumper line-up on ITV tonight, with Gary Lineker gameshow Sitting On A Fortune at 7pm followed by Piers Morgan‘s Life Stories with Kate Garraway at 8pm.

In a surprise twist, the first celebrity to go home in a public vote will be given their marching orders on tonight’s show.

In past years, the first exit has taken place after just 10 days but this year things are different due to Richard Madeley being forced to quit and the series being taken off-air amid Storm Arwen.

Viewers usually vote for who they want to be King or Queen of the castle and the person with the fewest will be axed.

Veteran dancer and former Strictly judge Arlene Phillips is currently favourite to leave followed by Paralympian Kadeena Cox and champion diver Matty Lee.

Former footballer David Ginola and Loose Women’s Frankie Bridge are the least likely to be voted out – being named by oddmakers as the favourites to win.

Naughty Boy is also still a frontrunner despite viewers getting increasingly annoyed as he’s voted for trial after trial.

Tonight he will take part in his seventh one – sparking conflict within the camp.

Seemingly upset at how much screen time he was managing to secure himself, stars including Danny Miller and Frankie Bridge suggested he was playing a game.

Frankie, 32, brought up the subject of his repeated trials, saying darkly: “Even when we sit here we know what’s going to happen.”

Emmerdale actor Danny, 30, replied: “Yeah, it’s quite boring.”

Questioning why the public wanted to keep seeing Naughty Boy do trials, BBC Breakfast star Louise Minchin asked: “Why do they find it interesting?”

Danny insisted: “He’s really entertaining – he knows what he’s doing. Either way it’s working so why would he stop?”

Ant and Dec will oversee proceedings in tonight’s bumper show

Arlene, Naughty Boy and Snoochie Shy are all in the firing line tonight
