Reason why Ant and Dec always COVER their watches on I'm A Celeb revealed
The annual I'm A Celebrity question!
If you watch I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! the way we do, you've probably never actually noticed that popular hosts Ant and Dec always have their watches covered when they are presenting the show.
However, a number of eagle-eyed fans have noticed this strange event over the last few years, with the Geordie duo being inundated with messages online about why they aren't allowed to show the time on camera.
On last night's 2023 launch show, Ant alluded to the fact his watch was covered up, resulting in the annual question.... 'Why do Ant and Dec have their watches covered up on I'm A Celebrity?'
Of course, as the question is asked every year, many die-hard viewers were quick to respond on social media, revealing it's so the celebrities in camp don't know the correct time.
Back in 2017, I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp hosts Joel Dommett and Scarlett Moffatt told a viewer: "It's so the campmates don't know the time, so all the watches are covered for the people that see the campmates all the time, like Ant, Dec and Medic Bob."
Well, that's that cleared up for another year! 🤣
