Ant and Dec admit I'm A Celebrity 'mistake' as viewers declare launch show 'one of the best ever'

Ant and Dec have owned up to what they are calling a 'not so deliberate mistake,' during Sunday's I'm A Celebrity as fans branded its launch show 'one of the best ever.'

After three years away from Australia, the Geordie hosts looked absolutely delighted to be back in the jungle, as they broadcast live to millions of expectant viewers back in the UK. After an I'm A Celebrity special of The Masked Singer, which was won by 2020 finalist Vernon Kay., the new series of the much loved ITV show kicked off with a feature length 105 minute episode, as viewers got their first look at a line-up which includes Boy George, Owen Warner and Jill Scott.

Other stars in action in the series opener included Olivia Attwood, Chris Moyles and Mike Tindall, while there was a bit of an awkward moment for Scarlette Douglas, when Owen had no clue who she was. It took just a few moments of the show starting for Ant and Dec to confirm late arrivals will soon be going in, with the hosts dropping a massive hint that Matt Hancock will be going in.
