I'm a Celebrity viewers were left concerned - while others saw the funny side - after a comedy mishap saw Declan Donnelly tumble backwards off screen. The early morning rituals of Culture Club legend Boy George were the focus of the opening moments of Thursday's episode (November 10).
His Buddhist meditation woke up former Health Secretary Matt Hancock after his first night in the jungle, before he partook in some facial yoga. This presented plenty of material for presenters Ant and Dec to work with when the camera cut back to them live on set, reports Chronicle Live.
The two performed their own facial yoga moves, including the side eye, one eyebrow raise and then finally the 'looking up at Jill Scott', in reference to the England Lioness star's height. And, as he got into the pose, Dec lost his balance and clattered backwards as Ant remarked: "Tall people are his kryptonite."

Dec was missing in action for a few moments and, while plenty of viewers admitted to laughing 'way more than they should', others quickly took to Twitter to voice their concerns for him, with one writing: "Hopefully Dec didn’t hurt himself too much doing that fall then but must admit that was hilarious to watch, how Ant kept a straight face I’ll never know."
Tweeting through laughter, a second said: "Why was Dec falling backwards so funny," with another posting: "Dec falling over backwards made me laugh more then it should have."
The new series of the hit ITV show is still just a few days old, but has been thoroughly compelling viewing already, thanks to an action packed and feature length launch episode, the mystery surrounding what happened to Olivia Attwood, after she was forced to quit; tension between Boy George and Charlene White and, of course, the arrival of the controversial Hancock.
