Ant McPartlin had a very cheeky response when he realised he was being filmed by her partner-in-crime Dec Donnelly after receiving hate from viewers of their quiz show. The Geordie duo are currently busy recording the audition stages of Britain's Got Talent ahead of its return.
The pair were spotted earlier this week being greeted by fans as they arrived for work in London. The first round of auditions returned to the London Palladium on Tuesday following weeks of speculation that Bruno Tonioli would be replacing David Walliams on the panel - which he now officially has.
The former Strictly Come Dancing judge has recorded his first string of shows with Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, and Alesha Dixon. But while Ant and Dec are busy working on their next project, as well as the upcoming return of Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, the presenters are currently on-screen on Saturday night with their ITV show Limitless Win.
The show sees two contestants at a time answer questions in a bid to win as much money as they can with no limit to how much they could walk away with as they climb the Money Ladder.
But during last week's show, Ant caused shockwaves among viewers with a confession about his laundry habits. Players at the time Conall and Michael were asked: "According to Levi's, to maintain the fit, you shouldn't wash your jeans until you've worn them how how many times?"
Is is then when Ant revealed he doesn't wash his jeans at all as he attempted to help the contestants by answering the question with Dec. "I think it's loads, I think you should wear them, wear them, wear them," Dec, 47, said. But Ant, also 47, then turned to his co-host and declared: "I never wash my jeans, never."
And while Dec simply replied: "Neither do I," viewers were quick to jump onto social media and comment. @liamandrews123 tweeted: "#LimitlessWin ant doesn’t wash his jeans??? i literally wash mine after every 4 wears." @leahhmariee93 asked: "Catching up on tonight’s #LimitlessWin and I need to ask.. @antanddec do your jeans smell a bit?"
@cfs123plays said: "Jeez, these guys must stink if they're wearing their jeans 10 times before washing... #LimitlessWin." @itsbr0gan posted: "Ant and dec hun I don’t wanna smell your jeans you mingers #limitlesswin." @Annabel_Jones_ added: "Wait a minute: did I hear that right??? Ant NEVER washes his jeans #LimitlessWin."
But taking to social media ahead of the new episode on Saturday night, Dec shared his surprise as Ant opted for some different leg wear. "I've just noticed something," he said with the camera close to his face before switching it around to show his co-star. "What are you doing? Are you filming my privates, Dec?" Ant asked.
But Dec was quick to explain: "No I'm not! I'm filming your chinos. Where are your jeans?" to which Ant replied: "Well, after last week's Limitless Win, I got a lot of hate about not washing my jeans so every pair of jeans is in the wash." Dec asked: "You're washing all of your jeans?" as Ant replied: "I've got to."
"He's finally washing his jeans, folks," Dec declared. Ant then said that his chinos looked 'smart' to which Dec agreed before Ant told him: "You should think about it you tramp," as Dec showed his jeans and khaki jumper combo. "What's wrong with my jeans, like?" he asked as Ant replied: "Jeans? What are we doing now? We're on the telly, man," to which Dec laughed.
