Ant McPartlin aims I'm A Celebrity dig at Dec Donnelly over 'annoying' habit

Ant McPartlin 'reprimanded' his best mate and I'm A Celebrity co-host Dec Donnelly over an 'annoying' habit he's been doing during this year's Bushtucker trials.

The Geordie duo have been front and centre for more than two weeks now as the new series of the hit ITV show has pulled in millions of viewers every night. There are now just days to go until the I'm A Celebrity final and, after Matt Hancock faced a run of trials following his late arrival in the jungle in the first week, the decision on who gets to do the trials now rests in the hands of the campmates themselves.

After she volunteered herself for the latest one - Critty Critty Fang Fang - it was England Lionesses star Jill Scott who joined Ant and Dec in the I'm A Celebrity trial clearing on Wednesday night for the most visually impressive trial so far. Inspired by classic film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the challenge saw Jill get behind the wheel of a motor car suspended in the air, dressed like the movie's famous character Truly Scrumptious.

But there was certainly nothing sweet about what was in store for Jill as she was joined by a host of creatures and had to conquer her fear of heights to climb onboard the bonnet of the car as it started to tilt.

As Jill forged on with her mission, Dec enquired on how many stars she had, before shouting the same thing he's shouted at many stars so far this series: "Get it in your bag!" However, after hearing that every single night, Ant cracked and responded: "Do you feel like you're overplaying your hand a little?"

Unimpressed, Dec fired back: "What do you mean? Hang on a minute Jill, we're having a conversation." Ant told hm: "You don't have to say it every time!"

Dec then remarked: "I've never even noticed it's a thing. Am I doing it a lot?" The issue wasn't left there either as Ant proved to Dec just how much he used the 'get it in your bag' catchphrase by playing him a reel of evidence, with plenty of clips of him uttering the lines in different trials.
