I'm A Celebrity fans cringe at Vernon Kay's 'one arm' comment in front of Hollie Arnold

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! viewers were left cringing after Vernon Kay 's "awkward" comment in front of Hollie Arnold.

The TV presenter, 46, accidentally made a tone deaf remark in front of the Paralympian during dinner, as all the campmates tucked into their crayfish and chilli.

The camp was eating good on Tuesday night as a result of Shane Ritchie winning 12 stars, meaning that each celeb had their very own crayfish to chew on.

But after tucking into his, Vernon made a comment that left fans uncomfortable soon after.

"Oh, just my bloody luck I get the one armed one," said Vernon, not realising Hollie was next to him.

Hollie responded with: "Don't knock it," as campmates burst into laughter, but Vernon didn't understand the joke.

A couple of seconds later, Vernon adds: "Touché. That was very funny Hollie. I doff my cap."

Later in the Telegraph, Hollie said: "He literally took him a couple of seconds to realise what I said."

She added: "And then he was just like, 'Oh!' and then he just laughed, so yeah...here all week."

The remark had fans feeling more awkward than ever, as they rushed to Twitter to comment on the ordeal.

"OMG i cringed when Vernon said that, at least Hollie laughed it off! #Vernon #ImACeleb," wrote one viewer.

Another penned: "Vernon- oh I get the one armed one. Hollie - don’t knock it. I mean you’ve never seen a more awkward moment in your life have you #ImACeleb."

A third wrote: "Vernon ‘trust me to get the one arm crab’ Hollie ‘don’t knock it.’ I shouldn’t laugh but I spat my tea out #ImACeleb."

While another added: "Did Vernon Kay really just say 'trust me to get the one armed one' in front of Hollie Arnold? OMG."

*I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! returns tonight at 9pm on ITV.
