Ant and Dec say I'm A Celeb's Charlene should 'look at her actions' amid 'rule breaking'

Ant and Dec addressed a complaint made by many I'm A Celebrity viewers over the actions of Loose Women star Charlene White in the latest episode of the ITV series.

Charlene was chosen to be the camp's deputy leader by Matt Hancock, which meant that she had her sleeping arrangements upgraded to a bed in an RV along with him. But Charlene refused to use the bed - and her decision to remain outside meant that fellow campmate Seann Walsh had to sleep in a hammock, suffering from back pain as a result.

As the presenters appeared on Instagram Live to discuss Wednesday's episode, Dec was quick to address the issue. "Can we talk about the hammock RV whole situation?" he asked Ant.

Ant asked: "Why is she not sleeping in the RV? What's the problem?"

"I don't get it," Dec replied, turning back to the camera to address viewers on Instagram. "Do you get it? What do you think, gang? What do we think about that?"

"Why? Why would she not want to sleep in it?" Ant pressed. "It can't just be because of the spider. Is it because she doesn't want to sleep with Matt?" he questioned.

Reading out comments from several viewers who agreed Charlene's feud with the MP could be the issue, Ant went on: "I think it might be that, but you've got to think of the others. If other people have to then sleep in a hammock because of your actions and have a bad back, then you've got to look at your actions, don't you?"

Dec agreed, adding: "I'm not sure it's really playing as a team by doing that."

Ant then read out one comment from a fan saying that Charlene's actions were "against the rules". Dec answered: "Well, a few people have said this on our socials tonight - is she not breaking the rules as deputy camp leader by not going in the RV?"

"Well, yeah, maybe," Ant admitted, making a tongue-in-cheek comment as Dec held up a fake microphone. "I think maybe she is, and I'm going to speak to the producers about it," the presenter said as laughter could be heard off-camera.

But many viewers agreed that Charlene should face consequences for 'breaking the rules'. One Instagram user commented: "Charlene should have to use the RV, it's her place."

"Charlene should be punished for refusing to sleep in the RV. It’s clearly because Matt’s in there," another wrote. "Punish her and take away her deputy role."

A third added: "Is Charlene going to get punished or something for not sleeping in the RV? Only fair she does tbh. If that was me I’d be sleeping in that RV whether I disliked or liked Matt - it’s a comfy bed!"
