Ant and Dec annoyed with viewers as star leaves I'm a Celebrity camp

Ant and Dec were gutted when fans of I'm a Celeb voted Boy George off the show.

As soon as the singer crossed the famous bridge, the presenters were quick to pull sad faces and make thumbs-down gestures at the camera - clearly displaying their disappointment.

The Culture Club icon was the first male to be evicted from this year's series. He said he had an "amazing" time in the jungle despite upsetting many viewers with his controversial views and diva behaviour.

Taking to Instagram after the show, Ant and Dec admitted that they were "gutted" over the star's eviction. Ant especially had some choice words for fans.

He said: "I'm just annoyed" before adding: "What a god damn shame.

"I really, really enjoyed Boy George in there. I loved him. I thought he was really good fun."

Dec agreed with his Geordie co-star, as he said: "He was at the centre of a lot of the fun and the conversation in camp. I loved his and Seann's relationship."

But then Ant had a little outburst towards the fans as he said: "What were you thinking, man? What were you thinking? Why did you do that? It's all your fault, that is."

Boy George posted a defiant message to fans on Twitter shortly after being voted out of camp, writing: "Eating pizza and watching FIFA World Cup replay after a lovely long shower. Thanks for all the amazing messages. The love always transcends the negativity. This b*tch still gives great headline. I have seen them all and laughed heartily!"

Jill Scott, Owen Warner, Matt Hancock, Babatúndé Aléshé, Chris Moyles, Seann Walsh and Mike Tindall still remain in the jungle. ITV will air a feature-length episode this Sunday to crown the king or queen of the jungle for 2022.
