ITV's December programming highlights, new and returning titles airing next month revealed
The new and returning programming airing on ITV this December have been revealed.
I'M A CELEBRITY GET ME OUT OF HERE
The hugely popular I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! returns this autumn on ITV1 and ITVX. Last year’s series launched with 11.3m viewers and averaged 8.7m viewers across its series run. Across all platforms, the 2025 series reached 23.4m - people which is 38% of the TV population. BAFTA award-winning hosts Ant & Dec are back to present all the big stories live every night from Australia.
ACCIDENTAL TOURIST
Not wanting to undo the impressive progress he'd already made during his trip to South Korea, Stephen has decided he needs to spread his wings further and who better to help once again than his close pals Ant and Dec.
With their support, further encouragement from his family and a little help from social media, Stephen will again find himself thrust into the unknown as he attempts to navigate unfamiliar territories in the hope to quell some of his life limiting phobias.
THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE
Comedian, actor and presenter Jason Manford is hosting for his third time, making this his sixth appearance on The Royal Variety Performance in line with legends such as Tommy Cooper and Ken Dodd. The King, who is the sole Patron of the Royal Variety Charity, will be watching alongside Queen Camilla, who will be attending the performance for the first time as The Queen.
CHANGING ENDS
Series 4 of Changing Ends shows ‘Little Alan Carr’ morphing more closely into the real Alan Carr we know today; more confident, sharp witted, and of course proudly gay. It’s 1990, Alan is 15 and craving independence and excitement. His sense of self is emerging like a butterfly as he learns to stand up for himself, has an image overhaul, gets a job, and finds a place to feel free that gives him new hope.
SORRY, I DIDN'T KNOW
Ten years on from its TV debut in 2016, Sorry, I Didn’t Know has become part of comedy panel show lore, returning for a seventh series. It is once again breaking its own record as the longest-running show by a Black-led production company and is now breaking the series record set by the classic sitcom Desmond’s, and sketch show The Real McCoy, for longest running Black-led comedy series on British TV.
DEAL OR NO DEAL
Each episode, a contestant is confronted with 22 sealed boxes, each one hiding a different amount of money. Without knowing what each one contains, the contestant must eliminate the boxes, which are opened one at a time, and the amount of money inside is revealed.
Pressure mounts as the player is tempted by the notorious Banker to accept an offer of cash in exchange for what might be inside their box. As long as the larger cash prizes remain unchosen, the Banker’s offers will get higher. But that can all change in an instant if a big cash prize is unveiled.
Transmission details will be announced in due course.
