Ant McPartlin held his hands up as he didn’t mind admitting he was “unprofessional” after viewers noticed he looked “furious” when Dean McCullough was struggling.
Discussing Radio 1 DJ McCullough facing his fourth Bushtucker trial this week, Ant admitted he couldn’t hide his annoyance after Thursday’s trial.
Playfully he said on I’m a Celebrity’s spin off show Unpacked: “I told you not to talk to me about it Sam [Thompson, the host of Unpacked].
“My annoyance came across on screen and I was quite unprofessional and I’m not happy about it. You get to the point where you’re like what are you doing?”
Thompson was very amused as he added: “The memes online are quite good. Ant had said he would like to see McCullough raise his game when taking part in the trial with Jones.
Dec Donnelly playfully mocked his partner. “I think you hid it quite well Ant,” he then deliberately looked to the side to show he was not being 100% truthful.
Ant admitted: “You get to the point where you are like, what are you doing?”
Joel Dommett pointed out that it got to the point where McCullough had asked him if he had been to Benidorm and Ant bluntly said “no”.
“I’m not making small talk with you anymore!” Ant said of the moment, wagging his finger playfully. “I’ll be kind to him today. I’m going to try good cop today.”
