I'm A Celebrity's Ant McPartlin threatens to walk over 'idiot' suggestions

I'm A Celebrity's Ant McPartlin threatened to walk because of "idiot" suggestions for campmates.

Following a poor show from the most recent bushtucker trial, Ant and Dec returned to the studio to share their thoughts with the team. Making their way back to their presenting hut, they kickstarted an Instagram Live to open the conversation up to those watching along at home.

The topic slowly moved on to who they should cast next year which invited a slew of suggestions from Hollywood stars to fans begging for Olivia Attwood to return. The Love Island star was this year's first causality as she made her exit just 24 hours after arriving on the grounds of "medical issues."

Sifting their way through the suggestions, Dec had a general back and forth with viewers but one comment riled Ant up so much, he labelled those watching as "idiots." He said: "Hold on... Taylor Swift... next year. Right, seriously. It's getting beyond a joke now because you're an idiot for saying that. An idiot. That is all."

Just a few moments later another fan suggests Ed Sheeran would be a good campmate which riled him up even more. He said: "Right, you're a bigger idiot because he's never going to do it. Taylor Swift's not going to do it, Ed Sheeran's not going to do it... Peter Kay is NOT going to do it. He's just announced a tour, you idiot!"

He added: "Right, you're really winding me up now. If this is just going to be you saying a load of famous people's names who are never going to do the jungle then I'm walking. Not just off Instagram Live, off the show! We said NO ridiculous campmate suggestions, guys."

Through all of the chaos, the pair revealed who was on their celebrity wishlist, with footballer Roy Keane taking the top spot. Ant and Dec said they've requested him several times and were even close to finalising his contract but he managed to slip through their fingers at the last moment.
