I'm A Celeb fans furious as ITV hub crashes
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here returned to screens on Sunday night (November 18) and even had a new presenter in the form of Holly Willoughby, who joined Declan Donnelly in the place of Ant McPartlin.
However, it appears it was the same old story as far as the ITV Hub's reputation for crashing during much-anticipated TV shows is concerned, as there was yet more trouble with the streaming platform.
Sigh.
Hey #ImACeleb fans! We’re really sorry about the tech issues some of you are experiencing; we’re working on getting it sorted ASAP!

#ImACeleb update: Apologies for the inconvenience. All sign in and streaming issues have been fixed - happy watching! 🐍🕷

Thanks for all your patience so far #ImACeleb fans. The show has to come all the way from Oz so takes a little while to get to the Hub for catch up. We're working away to make it available for you ASAP.

In a series of tweets, ITV Hub explained that some fans were experiencing technical issues with loading the TV player and that they were "working on getting it sorted".
It said: "Hey [I'm A Celeb] fans! We're really sorry about the tech issues some of you are experiencing; we're working on getting it sorted ASAP!
"The show has to come all the way from Oz so takes a little while to get to the Hub for catch up. We're working away to make it available for you."
Despite apologies from the ITV Hub team, viewers were far from impressed and took to their own Twitter accounts to bemoan the service.
A few of their tweets are listed below:
not working on my mac book air, only on my phone meaning I can't tweet along to the action. Boo! #IMACeleb #ITVHub 'Something went wrong, please refresh'... for the whole show. Live footage of the engineers... pic.twitter.com/odMlEiBTxw

For those viewers who did manage to watch the entire show, we're sure Harry Redknapp kept them highly entertained with his incredible but also true story of running over his wife.
And for those who didn't...well, let's just hope the ITV Hub is back up and running in time for Emily Atack's first Bushtucker Trial of the series tonight.
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here continues at 9pm tonight (November 19) on ITV.
