Looks like the Saturday show will be replaced with a ‘round-up’ show, akin to Love Island:

do you not think it might be for Covid reasons and the fact its a completely new show in a new location this year?
The same reason why the BBC were dumb and started Strictly a month late?

Seems a bit dumb considering ITV have nothing on Saturday nights and they literally have a captive audience.

He is still a CBE.

Doesn't a knighthood trump CBE? There's no reason to include CBE in Farah's name.

Why? They are already on location, they already have the facilities setup. Seems a strange decision.
I suppose it's possible they don't have enough 'content' aka challenges/trials to do those days.

The most logical reason would be to film a bigger trial on the Saturday to air on the Sunday show.
Will be interesting to see how Ant and Dec interact with the celebs - will they be considered part of the bubble, as the hosts were on Don't Rock the Boat, or remain socially distanced from the contestants at all times?

It's important to remember that the show is now being aired in 'real time' whereas before they've had the advantage of Australia being ahead of us.

I'm A Celeb not airing any new content on a Saturday seems to be fine for ITV, as Saturday nights seems to have been handed over to the BBC now ratings wise, with the juggernaut of Strictly topping 10 million each week, ITV know they do not have a "lead in" show to attract viewers to switch over, especially since Strictly usually airs just past 9pm each Saturday, saves ITV hassle.
