Here's something the showrunners do: they release the exact start time the morning of the episode. It's like a little gift. So, if you wake up at 7 AM and see "I'm A Celeb starts at 9:15 PM today," you can plan your entire evening around that. Write it down. Stick it on the fridge. Or just tattoo it on your arm. I won't judge you.
Also, if you're in a different time zone? You have my sympathy. Our friends in the US have to watch it at like 4 PM. For Australians? It's the middle of the night. Madness. But if you can, watch it live—the live reactions on social media are half the fun. Seeing a celebrity cry because a spider looked at them? Chef's kiss.
How to avoid spoilers like the plague
So you missed the start time? Don't panic. You can always catch up on ITVX. The episode drops at the same time as the broadcast. But here's the catch: if you're on Twitter or TikTok afterward, you're doomed. Every second post is a spoiler. "Larry the Campmate just ate a cockroach!" Great, thanks for that. My advice? Log off immediately. Or just watch it at 9 PM like a normal, obsessive fan.

And if you're watching with your family, set the rules. No phones. No talking during the bushtucker trials. Anyone who yells "he's going to eat it" before he eats it gets a time-out. Jungle rules apply. The time is sacred. We bow to the clock.
