NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Ant and Dec get back to doing what they do best tonight, as the new series of I’m a Celebrity launches.
As sure as the new series will bring drama between the contestants and gross eating challenges, it also means viewers can expect Ant McPartlin to make plenty more digs at Declan Donnelly’s height.
The presenter’s stature has long been the subject of gags on the show, peaking in 2018 when Holly Willoughby – who co-hosted the show while Ant was taking a year off – coined the catchphrase: ‘He’s loads of fun and he’s five foot one.’
All of which led to his Wikipedia page being changed accordingly – with that exact phrase – but how accurate was this claim, or was it just a catchy rhyme?
