Ant and Dec share brutal I'm A Celebrity hosting schedule with 2am wake-up for live shows

I’m A Celebrity Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly shared their behind the scenes schedule during their annual stint down under as the ITV reality show winds to a close this year.

The Geordie duo appeared on Friday morning’s instalment of Lorraine with presenter Andi Peters, who is visiting Australia.

Sitting down in the ITV treehouse studio in the jungle, Ant and Dec shared details on how they shift their body clock to accommodate the 7am live shows everyday.

Andi, who was running the broadcaster’s weekly lottery, said: “How have you coped with early mornings? This is, for me, natural because it’s really early. I struggle because I’ve been doing this live in the evenings and at 6.30pm, I’m quite tired.”

Ant replied: “We get up about 2am Australian time, so that’s early. Then we go to bed at about 6.30pm.

“You get a little bit of sun in the afternoon. No golf though. We have the families out so we can’t just shoot off to golf.”

Dec added: “I’ve got two children now, Andi, I can’t just go play golf in the afternoon.”

The pair went on to talk about the final days in the I’m A Celebrity camp, as they prepare for one more elimination before they shoot the infamous Cyclone Bushtucker Trial with the final four celebrities.

This comes after Chris Moyles became the sixth campmate to be voted off this year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! during Thursday night's episode.

The radio DJ, 48, was named in the bottom two of the public vote alongside comedian Seann Walsh by show hosts Ant and Dec.

Chris took a seat in the ITV treehouse studio after his exit, saying: “I just said this morning in the Bush Telegraph, ‘I've got this now, I'd really like to stay,’” before adding: “I'm gutted Matt Hancock is more popular than me!”

Speaking about the West Suffolk MP, Chris said: “I really struggled with it to be fair, I slagged him a bit. I separated Matt Hancock from Matt.

“We had to live with him and he was winning the stars and getting us food. Matt Hancock, I've got massive issues with, but Matt I've got less issues with.”

Chris said he felt like a 'competition winner' going into camp, adding: “I never got over the surrealness of it all. I'd often be the last one go to bed and I'd go to the dunny and I'd look back and I'd go, ‘Wow!’”

He added: “It's such a privilege to be able to do it... To be a part of this is a real honour. I know I won't appreciate it until I'm out.”
