Ant McPartlin makes a dig at former I'm a Celebrity campmate Katie Hopkins

Ant McPartlin has thrown shade at controversial TV personality Katie Hopkins.

Katie, 44, shot to fame on The Apprentice in 2007 and starred in that year's series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

But Ant , 43, shed some light as to why the media personality - who holds a lot of unpopular opinions - wasn't seen too much on the show.

Telly favourite Ant confessed there wasn't much to her, saying "she didn't really shine".

He told  The Sun : "Katie Hopkins was in I'm A Celebrity but you wouldn't really remember her doing it, as she didn't really shine."

And Dec Donnelly , 44, also opened up about the truth behind Gillian McKeith not participating in trials.

He said: "Gillian McKeith not doing trials was frustrating at the time but that was her journey on the show."

The Geordie star added he felt sorry for the people who were organising the Bushtucker trials as she refused to do them.

The 2019 series of I'm A Celeb starts on Sunday night and the new line-up of stars landed in Oz earlier this week.
