ITV I'm A Celebrity's Ant McPartlin fumes as he tells off Dec Donnelly saying viewers 'have to learn'

Ant McPartlin appears to be slightly harsher when it comes to his co-host and sidekick Dec Donnelly if their latest Instagram live is anything to go by. The hosting duo were back at the helm of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here on Wednesday night (November 23) as viewers tuned in for the latest camp action.

It was another busy episode with a Bushtucker Trial, expertly undertaken by former Lioness Jill Scott while dressed to emulate Truly Scrumptious in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, a Deals on Wheels challenge which avid viewers of the ITV reality show know hasn't been ending well and there was also another elimination.

But speaking of the latest challenge, I'm A Celeb fans were left 'screaming at the TV' as the campmates made an almighty error that saw them miss out on some very delicious-looking chocolate chip cookies.

Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall took on Kev's latest task in a bid to win a treat for the camp which saw them needing to solve an anagram to bag the Dingo Dollars. The pair, both 44, found 99 red balloons strung up which they had to pop using a spike on top of their helmets, getting covered in gunge and confetti along the way.

Popping the balloons earned them letters engraved onto silver coins which they had to decipher before the sand timer ran out After successfully completing the challenge of spelling the word 99, their fellow campmates failed to correctly work out the combined total of Adele’s album titles, missing out on the chance to win the sweet treat.

And there was evident heartbreak in camp when Matt and Mike returned empty-handed after they were adamant that Adele's album titles added up to 70 after looking to radio DJ Chris Moyles for the answer after being offered the options A: 70 B: 94 or C: 95. Returning to camp empty-handed, Mike said: “You telling me Moyles doesn’t know the names of her albums?” Chris said: “I’m not Adele!” And he added: “I’m clearly of no use to anyone here. This is just one long painful embarrassment for me.”

He said about the mistake: "Yeah we don't play Adele on Radio X." What the campmates failed to remember was the singing superstar's third studio album - 25, released in 2015 - and instead added up her albums 19, 21, and 30. Fans flocked to Twitter to share their outrage but it appears some didn't quite get the answer.

Appearing on their Instagram Live, which they have now dubbed Jungle Club, hosts Ant and Dec were asked by a viewer for the answer. "I did say this on the show," Dec said as Ant echoed: "We did say that on the show for all you fact fans. We did say it." He then added before raising from his seat and getting closer to thephone camera: "If you're not paying attention, or listening to us, we're not telling you again!"

Dec, however, said: "It was 95," but Ant gave him a shove and said: "Don't tell them then if I've just told them we're not telling them," Ant said before raging: "They'll never learn! They need to learn!" Dec decided to move things on and address the outrage following the previous Deals on Wheels challenge.

During Tuesday night's instalment of the ITV reality show, Owen Warner appeared gutted as not only did they lose out on chocolate brownies, they also scuppered the chance of finding out the results of England's World Cup opener, which we on the outside know saw the Three Lions storm ahead with a 6-2 win over Iran.

For the latest challenge, Owen and Chris Moyles were tasked with completing a puzzle based on their fellow campmates playing charades, but despite earning the Dingo Dollars they missed out on the coveted prize. Kev asked the camp: "Which of these had the largest UK viewing figures: The Men's Euro 2020 final, the Women's Euro 2022 final, or the Queen's Funeral?"

While Owen and Chris said: "Got to be the Queen's funeral," which was the answer the camp also chose, it was actually confirmed that England's Euro 2020 final was watched by more people. As the brownies and football scores disappeared, Chris yelled: "No!" while Owen added: "I need a moment, honestly. That's actually devastating. Ah mate, I'm gutted."

However, some viewers were convinced the campmates weren't wrong. "We continue to get a lot of people on Twitter saying that we got the answer wrong about the TV viewing figures," Dec said. "It was tiresome the amount of people." Ant asked: "Did we get it wrong?" and Dec replied: "No we got it right because nobody listened. We said it as UK viewers!"
