I’m A Celebrity 2022 viewers have complained to ITV about the amount of adverts shown during tonight’s launch show.

On Sunday night (November 6), Ant and Dec were back to host a brand new series of I’m A Celebrity from Australia after presenting the programme for two years in Wales due to the pandemic.

10 celebrities faced their first challenges of the series as they got ready for camp life.

However, as viewers settled down to get their I’m A Celeb fix, the amount of adverts which were shown throughout the show left them annoyed.

Many admitted they hadn’t missed the adverts inbetween jungle scenes.

One viewer said on Twitter: “Love #ImACeleb but god I haven’t missed the bloody adverts every 2 minutes.”

“The amount of adverts is ridiculous,” another fumed.

One added: “Why is there so many adverts?! It’s unbearable to watch!”

Meanwhile, a fourth tweeted: “Too many adverts!!! But I’m loving the first episode!”

Despite the complaints over the amount of adverts, viewers were thrilled to see the show back in its home of Australia.

Opening Sunday’s show, Dec said: “There really is no place like home here on I’m A Celebrity.”

He added: “I can’t tell you how excited I am to be saying this… welcome to Australia!”

Ant said: “We’re back! Oh I’ve missed so many things about this place. The sunshine, the beaches… I haven’t smelt a kangaroo’s penis for over two years.”

And they couldn’t help but poke fun at the news that former health secretary Matt Hancock is heading into the jungle.

The news has sparked much outrage online and many have criticised the decision to have Mr Hancock on the show.

Tonight, Ant quipped: “Two late arrivals are on the way and fortunately, we’ve managed to keep their identities a complete secret. Nobody has got a clue about who they are!”

Dec added: “You’re going to be so surprised guys. We’ll be rolling out the welcome Matt for them very soon.”

Viewers shared their thoughts on the series being back in Oz, as one gushed: “So happy it’s back in Australia. The last 2 series were pretty poor. It already feels like it’s truly back!”
