Live events
When major live events air on ITV1, they typically slot into the 21:00 prime-time position currently held by I’m a Celebrity South Africa. The official ITV TV guide on ITVX confirms the evening lineup for the London region. The catch: sports events and live specials occasionally push regular programming to different slots.

Tomorrow’s lineup
- 06:00 – Good Morning Britain: Morning news returns for the next day.

Key changes
The My Telly listings suggest early morning variations, with Celebrity Lingo airing at 5:30 AM and Unwind with ITV at 4:15 AM on some days. These overnight slots change frequently and may not appear in all aggregators. What this means: overnight slots remain the most volatile part of the schedule, and tier-3 aggregator data should be cross-referenced with official sources before planning an early-morning watch.
