Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

The I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! cast are settled into jungle life after their third day at camp.

On Tuesday night’s episode (19 November), Tulisa Contostavlos opened up about identifying as “demisexual”.

Radio DJ Dean McCullough faced the Bushtucker trial. It left him in tears and he only secured two stars for his fellow stars, which left Ant and Dec “disappointed.”

McCullough’s challenge, which saw him trapped in a box with mealworms and crickets, came after an emotional start to the 2024 series.

During one moving campsite chat in Monday night’s episode, boxer Barry McGuigan broke down in tears as he opened up about the loss of his daughter, Danika, while Coleen Rooney reflected on the death of her sister, who died when she was 14.

Elsewhere, Rooney dished out juicy details surrounding her infamous “Wagatha Christie” trial, while the rest of the campmates started bonding.

Among this year’s contestants are N-Dubz singer Contostavlos, Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall and Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse. Others include McFly singer Danny Jones, McGuigan and Rooney, who is the show’s highest-paid star in its history.

New episodes of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! air on ITV1 and ITVX every night at 9pm.

The viewing figures have been revealed

ITV announced on Monday (18 November) that the first episode of I’m a Celebrity 2024 was watched by a peak of eight million, and an average of seven million.

This is on a par with last year’s launch, but both respective episodes were down from the nine million viewers amassed in 2022.

However, this is the biggest ITV overnight audience of the year outside of sporting events.
