Ant and Dec tell I'm A Celeb fan to stop watching and hit back at critic in sassy tweet

Ant and Dec have urged one I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! viewer to stop watching the live show in a sassy comeback after the fan criticised the presenters.

Tuesday's stint of the ITV show, which is broadcast from Australia, features live sections of Ant and Dec, both 47, hosting the programme and telling fans the latest camp gossip.

However, during the latest episode Ant and Dec couldn't help but make a dig at their Australian film crew as they mocked Australia's loss against France in the World Cup, which is being hosted in Qatar.

Australia were beaten by France in the match on Tuesday, which ended with a 4-1 score.

And the cheeky presenters couldn't help but make a dig as they opened the programme.

"Welcome back to I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here live from Australia 1, France 4. Sorry, was that too soon?," Dec joked as the I'm A Celebrity crew yelled in the background.

"They hate us now," Ant chirped as the Geordie duo continued to get booed by the Aussie crew members.

And it now appears the TV duo's Aussie film crew weren't the only one's irked by the pair's football jibe as one annoyed fan took to Twitter to share their frustration at the pair revealing the score.

They wrote: "Trust @antanddec to needlessly reveal the football scores just before the highlights come on. I'm not sure what they find funny."

But, Ant and Dec were quick to hit back at the criticism with a sassy response.

The pair tweeted from their shared account: "We were taking the mick out of our Aussie crew after a loss in the WC. I don’t understand what you don’t understand!? Maybe stop watching live tv and stay off Twitter if u want to control what you do and don’t hear".

Fans soon agreed with Ant and Dec as one wrote: "You wanted to avoid the Australia score so you chose to watch a show by 2 huge football fans IN AUSTRALIA???? huh…."

Another added: "Of course they are going to mention it they love the football lol". And a third said: "It’s hardly a National secret".

Boy George became the latest I'm A Celeb star to leave camp (ITV)

It comes after Boy George became the latest star to leave the I'm A Celebrity jungle on Tuesday night's episode.

The Karma Chameleon singer, 61, spoke about being himself on the show as he reviewed his jungle experience with Ant and Dec.

He said: "When you have got cameras on you, the younger people are probably used to being watched. It doesn’t bother them because they live in this sort of two-way mirror experience.

"For me there were things people didn’t speak up about. There was b****ing going on over here and people weren’t saying it to people’s faces. Having Matt in here was really challenging obviously for a lot of reasons, and I thought I’ve gotta tell him what I said. He was there and I thought I had to say it."
