I'm A Celeb's Ant and Dec scream as they're interrupted live on air by a fly

I'm A Celebrity viewers were in hysterics on Sunday night, as Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly were interrupted as they hosted the live launch.

The pair were speaking to viewers after returning from an advert break, when suddenly Ant shouted out and began waving his hands around.

While it wasn't initially clear what had happened, Dec then noticed the same thing and began waving around too.

Ant was heard shouting: "A fly? A FLY!" before he slapped himself across the face.

Dec also hit himself in the face before asking: "What was that? Just a fly... we don't even get that in Australia."

As the camera crew were heard laughing, Dec said: "It flew in my face!"

Viewers were in hysterics over the moment, with one writing on Twitter : "That fly!!!!! Oh, my goodness, I nearly died laughing."

Another tweeted: "A fly straight in Ant and Dec’s face … Wales NEVER disappoints."

A third fan said: "Love @antanddec reactions to the fly," while a fourth wrote: "OMG DEC THE FLY."

The pair then hosted the show as normal, sharing highlights of the first day as the stars met for the first time.

It wasn't long before someone broke the rules, bringing banned items into camp.

Naughty Boy, real name Shahid Khan, hid some spices he had ground together in his belongings and took them into camp.

But before anyone even realised what he had done, it was the contestant himself that owned up to his wrongdoing to the crew working behind-the-scenes.

Speaking in the Telegraph on set, Naughty Boy told the crew what he had done, before asking if he was allowed to use it - knowing full well he wasn't allowed the contraband.

He was planning on using it for his campmates on their rice and beans, he later told them, but sadly it was confiscated straight away.

Naughty Boy told his co-stars: "I had whole organic spices so I crushed some and I put it in cling film and I put it in my sock.

"I thought I was going to add it to the rice and beans and make it taste better but I asked them if it was ok if I used a bit because we're suffering enough as it is and they confiscated it."

I'm A Celebrity 2021 airs every night at 9pm on ITV.
