Mo Farah gets Scotland and Wales mixed up in I'm A Celebrity task

Mo Farah had I'm A Celebrity viewers in stitches tonight as he got Scotland and Wales mixed up.

Taking on the latest Castle Coin Challenge with Giovanna, the pair were split and had to follow signs with their names on in different directions.

Communicating by walkie talkie, Mo had a map with shields positioned on different countries.

As part of his task, he had to tell Giovanna which shield she needed to find for each country she was given.

However, when trying to decipher the first country's shield, Mo got mixed up between Scotland and Wales.

This is despite the I'm A Celebrity camp being in Gwrych Castle in North Wales.

During the task, Mo admitted: “I was struggling to find Wales on the map.”

Things weren't much better when it came to finding Russia, as Giovanna said: “I had a description at one point of a seagull it was an eagle.”

After winning the coins Giovanna admitted: “I don’t think either of us have a career in geography teaching to be honest.”

However, fans were left in fits of laughter by Mo's mistake.

Caitlin said: "Mo never fails to make me laugh."

CeeCee wrote: "I cannot believe that he didn't know where Wales was!!"

Alison tweeted: "Oh sweet baby Jesus! How embarrassing. Good grief."

And Babita said: "Sir Mo is just the funniest! Definitely stick to the running."
