Ant and Dec slammed after telling stars to ‘shut up’ on I’m A Celebrity

Ant and Dec angered ITV viewers on Friday after raising his voice at this year’s jungle celebrities, telling them to “shut up” on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The Geordie duo was attempting to deliver the results of this week’s ‘Scarena’ challenge live on air, but were struggling to present the show over the voices of the famous faces. Boxer Tony Bellew and legendary Frankie Dettori recently joined the line-up alongside Britney Spears’ sister Jamie Lynn, TV personality Sam Thompson, This Morning’s Josie Gibson, First Dates’ Fred Sirieix, YouTuber Nella Rose, former politician Nigel Farage, food critic Grace Dent, JLS star Marvin Humes, EastEnders‘ Danielle Harold and Hollyoaks’ Nick Pickard.

“Sit down and shut up,” Ant told the stars in tonight’s episode, indicating he was getting annoyed with the talking while he was live on ITV. But viewers aren’t very happy with the comment, with some calling him “rude” and “sassy”.

Taking to X, formally Twitter, ITV viewers blasted the presenter’s complaint, with one saying: “A bit rude there Ant telling them to shut up.” While another commented: “Ant an Dec getting visibly angry at being constantly talked over.”

A third wrote: “ant and dec trying to yell over the blue team.” While someone else commented: “Oof bit of sass to that ‘shut up cos we’re talking’, Ant.” While another added: “Great task, but why did it need to be a live reveal of the winner? Wasn’t necessary.”

Earlier in the episode viewers slammed Nella for ‘sucking positivity’ from Sam. The YouTuber and Made in Chelsea star took part in tonight’s trial Touchdown of Terror, another gruesome challenge inside the ‘Scarena’. In a bid to hype up Nella ahead of their tricky task, Sam attempted to give some encouragement.

Sadly, it didn’t go down well, with Nella complaining that she found Sam overwhelming and too full on. She pulled the reality TV star to one side in camp, telling him to be calm as fans complained she was ‘patronising’ him before walking away.

Taking to X, formally Twitter, viewers gave their opinions on the ordeal. One commented: “Poor Sam getting that treatment from Nella when he is being optimistic and good vibes unlike herself.” While someone else asked: “How Nella sucked Sam’s positive energy.”

A third penned: “I can see Nella kicking off after this trial at Sam.” While someone else said: “Love nella but won’t thing I won’t allow is hate on Sam all he wanted to do was support ya hun.” Another added: “Nella better not mess with the sunshine of the camp sam.”
