When is the first eviction on I’m A Celebrity?

The latest series of the hit ITV show began on Sunday 6 November, with the likes of Mike Tindall, Olivia Attwood, Seann Walsh, Charlene White, Boy George, Chris Moyles and Jill Scott among the star-studded line-up. There has already been plenty of drama - from Olivia being forced to depart for medical reasons, to Mike’s choice of swimwear.

During Thursday's episode, presenters Ant and Dec confirmed that the first celebrity will be voted out of the Australian jungle during Friday 18 November's live episode. The pair also announced that the public vote is now open, meaning fans can decide who they'd like to save and be in with a chance of becoming King or Queen of the jungle.

Despite Olivia’s early departure, the eviction schedule should remain the same. Usually, there is a double eviction on day 13 - with nobody booted off on day 14, and then a contestant leaving daily from day 15 onwards.

Despite former health secretary Matt being voted by for six consecutive bushtucker trials, he seems to have won the public over and is now one of the names in the top 5 favoured celebrities in with a chance of winning the show.

But the favourite, according to many bookies including Sky Bet, is England football Lionness Jill Scott.

While no final date has yet been announced for when co-hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will crown the winner, it is thought that it might be Sunday, 27 November. In previous years, it has ended in December after 22 episodes, but has been pushed earlier this time due to the World Cup.
