Ant and Dec
Author: Alex RossPublished 29th Nov 2019

Although it's VERY entertaining watching the likes of Caitlyn Jenner, Ian Wright and Girls Aloud singer Nadine Coyle sit in a tonne of creep crawlies as they attempt to win food, hosts Ant and Dec pretty much make I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

The Geordie boys, who were reunited this year following Ant's year off from showbiz, left viewers of the show in fits of laughter last night (Thursday 29th November), when they made a hilarious innuendo about Dec's 'little knob'.

The sketch started when a sound played in the studio every time Dec said the words 'sinister circus'. After the sound didn't play when Ant said those words, the 44-year-old grew frustrated, before realising Dec had a hidden button which he was pressing when saying the words.

Upon discovering Dec's secret button, Ant snatched it off him and said, "Itโ€™s this little knob! The audacity!"

Dec then shouted, "Give me back my little knob!," to which Ant hilarious responded with, "Never!"

Viewers of the show were quick to laugh about the joke, with many taking to Twitter to express their love for Ant and Dec.

One user wrote, '"Youโ€™ve got a little knob!โ€ Ant McPartlin- 2019 #imaceleb', with another adding, 'Give me back my little knob... @antanddec ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚'. sic

A third then wrote, 'Not really been paying much attention to #ImACeleb but just saw the โ€œlittle knobโ€ link and Iโ€™m in bits. Man I love me some Ant and Dec being back...ten times better than having Holly forced on us last year'. sic
