I'm A Celebrity fans spotted a huge change to how this year's show is run moments after stars entered camp. Celebrities including Danny Jones, Coleen Rooney and Tulisa have entered the show to take part in the 2024 series. The stars were tasked with making a treacherous journey into the camp that included a sky dive, boat ride, trip in a car or a hike.

When the celebrities entered their camp, they all changed into their iconic uniform. As always, the celebrities changed into their blue T-shirts, red trousers and beige shirts. However, fans noticed a huge change to this year's uniform.



Typically, the star's shirts feature their name as well as a number on the back. The number would be used for fans to be able to vote for that celebrity to either stay in the competition or put them up for Bushtucker Trials. Yet viewers noticed the numbers were missing this year.

The contestants just have their full names on their back this year as one fan said: "Oh they’ve gotten rid of the numbers on the clothes #ImACeleb." Another added: "Hate that they have their full name on the back of their shirts and no number to call it looks stupid #imaceleb." Someone else commented: "So 2024 is the year they’ve finally got rid of phone voting.

.. who’s gonna shout call the SHORT NUMBER now.

" A fourth shared: "Watching #ImACeleb and I’ve noticed they’ve ditched the phone voting (all via the app), like they did for DOI and BGT earlier this year. ‘If you’re calling from a mobile, call the SHORT NUMBER’ is no more, I guess..

But you knew that. We've got a little update for you, because we know lots of you've been asking about Jungle Club this year. We've got some good news and we got some bad news.

I'll start with the bad news, shall I?" Ant then added: "Jungle Club will not be going on straight after the main show. Sorry. The good news is it will be going on straight after the new ITV2 show.

Yay!" Dec continued: "So we are back, but we're a little bit later. Yes, we are. It's Jungle Club: Late & Live.

One for all you night owls out there."
