I'm A Celebrity host Ant McPartlin calls out Dec Donnelly over repeated phrase

I'm A Celebrity 's Ant McPartlin was quick to call out his co-host Dec Donnelly in a funny skit on Wednesday night.

Ant informed Dec he'd been repeating a phrase over and over again, and that it was becoming a bit "too much".

Dec seemed surprised by Ant's confession, claiming to be unaware of how many times he'd said the same phrase in the past week alone.

Ant showed his pal a montage of all the times he's said "get it in your bag" on the show this series, during the Bushtucker Trials.

Dec repeated it again during the latest episode after Jill Scott smashed the latest trial, with Dec pleased she successfully stored her stars for camp.

As Dec said the line once more, Ant interrupted him and said: "Now see, I mentioned this earlier but you do say that a bit too much, you do."

A defensive Dec replied: "No I don't, no I don't," as an insistent Ant told him: "Yes you do actually, you do. Take a look at this."

Ant then played the montage of Dec repeating "get it in your bag" on six different occasions, adding: "See, see!"

Dec replied saying: "I didn't even realise I was saying it. I'll dial it down from now on, I will dial it down. I'm sorry," as Ant said: "Will you? Thank you."

It comes as the fifth elimination of the series aired on Wednesday night, as Babatunde Aleshe left the jungle for good.

As the result came in, Babatunde said his goodbyes - leaving six stars remaining on the 2022 series.

On leaving them, he thanked his new friends for his time on the show and said it was "the best experience he had ever had".

The comedian soon left the presenters laughing seconds into his exit interview, as he spilled a glass of champagne over himself.

Babatunde told Ant and Dec he wanted Owen Warner to win the show, calling the actor his "closest friend" in camp.

The comedian also revealed he was surprised how different it was doing the show to watching it as a viewer, telling the pair: "Living in it is a whole different experience."

Viewers were gutted to see him leave the show so close to the final, with many surprised by the result.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer wrote: "How did Matt and Chris get more votes that Baba."

Another agreed: "How the f**k is Baba out yet Chris is still in ffs. Fuming."

A third fan said: "Baba gone. Nah that's it #ImACeleb will be a bore now," and a fourth viewer wrote: "Gutted Baba has gone!"

Prior to Babatunde leaving the jungle, the previous eliminations saw singer Boy George, Coronation Street actress Sue Cleaver, TV presenter Scarlette Douglas and Loose Women's Charlene White all axed from the series - while Love Island star Olivia Attwood was forced to withdraw just a day into the show.

I'm A Celebrity airs every night at 9pm on ITV and ITVX.
