Stephen Mulhern warns Ant and Dec 'I'll smash your faces in' after they make 'cruel' joke on I'm A Celebrity

Stephen Mulhern has issued a jokey warning to Ant and Dec after they made fun of him in the jungle.

The In For Penny presenter hit back at Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly after they made a 'cruel' dig on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The cheeky presenters joked that Stephen should front a 'cheap, one dimensional and very low rent show' based on a game invented in the jungle by the I'm A Celebrity campmates.

Dec joked: "Don’t miss Stephen Mulhern’s Quick Draw next Saturday only on ITV."

Ant added: "He’ll present anything."

And turning to face the camera, Dec said: "Hi Stevie."

The duo tweeted to ask if Stephen was watching and he replied drily: "Didn’t see the show, as was too busy filming the Xmas special of In for A Penny, making more money for you two millionaires #happychristmas. Mention me again and I’ll smash your faces in."

Fans found the exchange hilarious.

"You two are a cruel pair," tweeted one with a crying-with-laughter emoji.

"And the funny thing is, he’s busy because of them," laughed another.

Other fans shared photos of Stephen in festive jumpers filming and meeting fans in Manchester.

Stephen is currently filming a Christmas special of In For A Penny, created by Ant and Dec, in the city while they're sunning themselves in Australia.

In For A Penny, a spin-off of Ant and Dec's ITV's Saturday Night Takeaway, sees Stephen travel up and down the country challenging unsuspecting members of the public to win money through completing various games and challenges.
