Ant McPartlin Apologizes for Dec’s I’m a Celeb Comment: Chaos Ensues in the Jungle

Jane Moore, a journalist and star of Loose Women, was the first celebrity voted off this year’s I’m a Celebrity. Many viewers expressed disappointment with the public vote results.

After each episode, Ant and Dec join Joel Dommett, Sam Thompson, and Kemi Rodgers for the aftershow I’m a Celebrity…Unpacked, where they discuss the previous day’s events. In the latest episode, Ant and Dec reflected on twenty years of the show, which began in 2002.

Dec noted that the show has become “unrecognisable” from its original format, which was filmed in Queensland, Australia, now located in New South Wales. Ant mentioned that the original site was near Cairns and much hotter, while Dec added that it was filled with thick bush.

Dommett burst into laughter, causing the rest of the team to join in, with Thompson particularly amused. Ant joked about the programming, to which Dec struggled to say “thick jungle.” McPartlin then apologized to Kemi Rodgers, who humorously responded that it reminded her to get a wax.

Viewers at home found the moment hilarious. One person commented on Dec’s reaction, calling it the funniest thing. Another viewer suggested returning to Cairns for the show, while a third claimed it was the greatest moment on TV. Fans also praised Kemi for her response during the awkward moment.

I’m a Celebrity airs on ITV 1 at 9 PM.
