I'm A Celebrity's Ant and Dec weigh in on towel-gate as they 'work out' culprit

I'm A Celebrity hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly have weighed in on the towel-gate jungle drama.

The pair - who host the ITV show - are convinced they know who has been stealing the towels after radio DJ Chris Moyles was at risk of starting a feud in the camp when he said his towel was constantly being stolen by another campmate.

He had his suspicions of who it might be - but the towel thief still remains at large, as the campmates and viewers try to work out who it might be. Ant and Dec made it very clear they are convinced they know who is behind the towel snatching.

On last night's show, Chris told the gathered campmates: "Guys, with the risk of sounding like a germaphobe with cleanliness issues, is there any chance that when I dry my towel and I go to get it the next day that it’s still there? Three days in a row and I go to get it and it’s not there. As much as I really, really like you all, I don’t want to dry my body with the stench of your balls."

And in a chat in the Bush Telegraph, he revealed who he think the culprit might be.

"This is killing me, I like to be as clean as possible. And I’m dirty. I don’t like it. I think I know who it is. George," he said.

As the footage returned back to camp, Boy George shared: "They should have embossed the towels with our names," as Coronation Street star Sue Cleaver suggested a plan that would ensure everyone keeps the towel that's rightly theirs.

"I think we count up all the towels and then we’ll have a massive wash up of all the towels today and then redistribute," she suggested, and whilst Chris insisted that wasn't necessary, camp leader Matt Hancock ruled it was a good idea.

Speaking in the Telegraph, he said: "Being camp leader, it’s about when there’s a problem, just trying to find a solution that everybody’s happy with. This is a happy camp and I want to keep it that way.”

Now Ant and Dec have given their verdict on who is taking the towel - and it all points to one person.

In a video clip, Dec revealed: "I think we know who steals all the towels."

"Yeah, we do, yeah, we absolutely do, Boy George! We can see him! There's a bit where he's walking along and he's on the railing, he took it off and put it over his shoulder. It's definitely him!" Ant speculated, before Dec added: "It's got to be Boy George!"
