I'm A Celebrity's Ant and Dec complain on stars' behalf at 'unfair' reward

Ant and Dec felt exactly the same as the I'm A Celebrity stars and viewers at home over the 'unfair' reward given to the camp for finally winning a Deals on Wheels challenge.

The challenges, which typically see the contestants earn plenty of treats year after year on the ITV show, haven't gone the way of the cast at all this year, due to some rather tough question and some even dodgier answers. Over the last two weeks, this year's I'm A Celebrity campmates have missed out on all manner of treats from nachos to chocolate and on Monday night, the pressure was on Seann Walsh and Babatunde Aleshe to win some dingo dollars to take to Kiosk Kev, in order for their co-stars to be asked a question.

After the just about enough to book themselves a visit to Kev, the camp phone rang, to be answered to be Chris Moyles who asked the cast who out of Babatunde, Seann and Sue had starred in Waking the Dead,. EastEnders and New Tricks. After Sue was swiftly ruled out, the majority vote was Babatunde, with the verdict being that he could well have been an actor before forging out a successful career in comedy.

And, to the delight of Babatunde, Sean and everyone else when they arrived back in camp, they finally got a question right. However, after a long wait for a treat, it wasn't quite on the scale they'd hope for or excited - with the prize being Love Hearts. While admitting he was happy with any sort of sugar fix, Owen Warner definitely looked disappointed.

The camera then cut to Ant and Dec and the hosts too looked far from impressed with what the celebs had received for their efforts. Ant remarked: !After all the things they've missed out on from Kev: cheese, chocolate, nachos....they got Love Hearts," adding: "I wouldn't thank you for them."

Dec then quipped: "But at least they got a question right! So Baba's been in EastEnders, he's been in Waking the Dead and he's been in New Tricks. It sounds like he' had a few meaty roles," with Ant replying: "Tell you what, he'd give his right arm for a meaty roll right now," with Dec interrupting: "Instead of Love Hearts!"
