Ant McPartlin's I'm A Celebrity 'winner' rumbled by fans as he reveals too much on Instagram

Eagle-eyed I'm A Celebrity fans claimed to have seen who Ant McPartlin predicts will win I'm A Celebrity, after the host revealed a bit too much during an Instagram live video on Thursday night.

With the I'm A Celebrity final now just over a week away, things are heating up on the ITV show, with Ant and confirming at the end of the latest episode, that the vote-offs will start on Friday night, as bookies tip Matt Hancock to spring an upset, by not being the first celeb to be voted out by the public.

Loose Women host Charlene White is the big favourite to get the boot from the jungle first, while at the other end of the betting, England Lionesses hero Jill Scott is currently the red hot tip to win, although odds are shortening on Owen Warner all the time.

As they do after credits have rolled on the show every night, Ant and Dec t ook to Instagram after Thursday's I'm A Celebrity had finished for a quick live catch up with their followers and, it was during the chat that the topic of who they think will win the new series cropped up. They were reluctant to give a direct answer as viewers, including former I'm A Celeb champion Jake Quickenden watched with curiosity, with Ant instead turning away from the camera to write his answer on a bit of paper.

However, unfortunately for Ant, he wasn't far away enough from the camera and wasn't as out of shot as he might have thought as fans watching the live video, said they definitely saw him write a B, meaning his prediction on who will win could only have been Babatunde Aleshe, someone he's a had a great rapport with during trials and when he and Dec have gone into camp every day.

Ant's 'mishap' was discussed on Friday's Lorraine, when the daytime programme's TV expert, Ria Hebden flagged it up. She told Lorraine Kelly: "They do a live every day, so I put my hat on and basically, when you watch in slow motion, Ant turns around and you see, very slowly, he writes his prediction and if you look very closely, you can see a B," before saying a fan was convinced she was Babatunde, something Ant then didn't deny.

At the moment comic and Celebrity Gogglebox star Babatunde isn't even in the bookies' reckoning for winner, with the current top three rounded out by Mike Tindall.
