Ant and Dec branded I'm A Celebrity 'smiling assassins' as hosts send shockwaves through camp

Shell shocked I'm A Celebrity star Paul Burrell branded Ant and Dec 'smiling assassins' after the hosts delivered some bombshell news to the All Stars camp.

Still reeling from Shaun Ryder and Gillian McKeith's swift exit after they lost the first Survival Trial of the new series, the cast are delivered an even bigger blow, when they are told by the Geordie duo that they will have to turn on each other and vote for who should be sent packing next.

Revealing all, Dec explained: “For one of you this will be your last night in camp. But this time, who that is, is up to you," with Ant adding: “You’ll each be taking part in a secret ballot and you’ll be voting to decide the next celebrity to leave camp.”

The I'm A Celebrity voting twist is very similar to the tactics employed by 00s reality show Survivor for its eliminations and vote for winner and it became immediately obvious to Dec that his and Ant's announcement did not go down well with the celebs.

But what they didn't hear was former royal butler Paul saying: "That smiling assassin duo has delivered an incendiary device into the heart of our camp”

Equally taken aback by Ant and Dec's news, Georgia Toffolo remarked: "That’s horrendous. I don’t like this.”

After having some time to let the voting twist sink in, Myleene Klass headed to the Telegraph and said: "Imagine the best day you’ve ever had and then a giant foot comes and stamps on all of you. That’s what it feels like. Nasty, nasty thing to do.”
