Ant & Dec's view on VAR from the I'm A Celebrity camp sums up the feelings of every Newcastle United fan

Ant and Dec may be nearly 9,500 miles from Tyneside but that doesn't stop the pair from following their beloved Newcastle United.

The duo watched on with glee during filming breaks of I'm A Celebrity as the Magpies beat Sheffield United 2-0 on Thursday evening, and were left praising the brilliance of VAR after Jonjo Shelvey's goal was ruled onside after the linesman had wrongly flagged.

Ant was filmed celebrating the decision and, like most Newcastle United fans, had nothing but good words for the new technology.

Ant says he loves VAR when caught watching Newcastle during I'm a Celebrity

Asked by Dec what he thought on VAR, Ant replied excitedly: "Yesss! I love it. At the moment, I love it!"

The pair make no secret of their love for Newcastle United and frequently post from the I'm A Celebrity camp sneakily watching live games or drop references about the club.

They did just that on Thursday evening with Ant tweeting 'who says men can't multitask? Toon - Toon' with a picture of the game!

Shelvey's goal secured all three points for United after Allan Saint-Maximin had put the side ahead early in the first half.
