Ant tells red-faced Dec he's 'in trouble' as private text pops up during Instagram live

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! host Declan Donnelly was left red-faced on Tuesday after a private text popped up during his Instagram live with co-host Ant McPartlin.

The Geordie duo have been treating their adoring fans to daily live Q&A sessions and they have all gone smoothly - until their latest social media escapade wreaked havoc on poor Dec.

During the hilarious Instagram live, Declan decided to show the duo's fans their breakfast menu when a private text popped up on the presenters phone.

Within seconds of the mysterious text appearing on the live - where thousands of fans were tuned in to hurl their burning I'm A Celebrity questions at the hosts - Dec was seen swiping away the text with rapid force.

Noticing what had just occurred, Ant took the opportunity to poke fun at his longtime pal.

"You'll get in trouble for that," Ant teased, to which and embarrassed Dec replied: "Stop it."

Naturally, fans flocked to quiz the pair on what the text message said, and they begged Dec to spill who it was from.

"I bet it was from his wife telling him off over something lol," one fan quipped.

"I NEED to know what that text was," another echoed, while a third commented: "Dec leaving us hanging."

Dec's embarrassing moment comes after Geordie duo sparked commotion during Tuesday night's instalment of the I'm A Celebrity.

The cheeky I'm A Celeb hosts made a savage swipe as the Fifa World Cup continues in Qatar - leaving the Aussie crew members unimpressed.

After Ant and Dec welcomed fans back to another night in the jungle, Dec couldn't wait to make a savage swipe at Australia's result in the World Cup after they were beaten 4-1 by France on Tuesday.

"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.

Following their cheeky gag, I'm A Celebrity viewers could hear the crew members heckle back at Ant and Dec's football joke.

Meanwhile, viewers flocked to Twitter to share their thoughts as one I'm A Celeb fan tweeted: "Ant and Dec are on FIRE tonight with their jokes."

"Ant and Dec don't know anything about football. Therefore, they should stick to their Matt Hancock jokes," another quipped.

"Lol the crew clearly loved that gag. NOT!!!," someone else tweeted.

While a fourth ITV viewer shared: "It's coming home!!!!! And hopefully, so is Matt Hancock. Never thought I'd say those words."

I'm A Celebrity fans said goodbye to Boy George during tonight's episode, as the iconic singer became the fourth star to leave the 2022 series ahead of the final this Sunday.

I'm A Celebrity continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV One
