IAC: Ant and Dec takes swipe at GB News
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! fans issued the same complaint just minutes into the 2023 series.
Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly made a return on Sunday night and saw 10 celebrities making their way to the Australian jungle.
However, some fans claimed to "turn off" the show when the comedy duo mentioned campmate Nigel Farage.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, @akc05_ fumed: "Nigel Farage is a proper politician - so persuasive he’s convinced me to turn my telly off already #ImACeleb." (sic)
@WBookishBlog went on: "I've watched #ImACeleb for 0.5 seconds and Farage's stupid face and stupid voice already makes me want to turn it off and never watch it again." (sic)

@adgethepirate claimed: "Just turned over I can’t watch #ImACeleb didn’t watch Hancock last year, Farage is to far what next? One off Tommy Robinson." (sic).
"Nope, can't watch this year #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb," @howardbatey stated.

However, not all fans shared the same thoughts as many viewers were thrilled to see I'm A Celeb back on their screens.
One fan beamed: "@antanddec so glad you're back on the telly for #ImACeleb! We missed you. Literally can't wait for the show each day. With all the doom and gloom on the news, it's rubbish but 5 minutes into I'm a Celeb and I've laughed more than I have all week! Thank you, you're the best." (sic)
Despite the mixed opinions about Farage's appearance, Ant and Dec could resist making a joke about the former politician.
The ITV hosts also took a cheeky swipe at GB News, the broadcaster where Farage works.
Dec began: “There’s the man that’s got everyone talking, Nigel Farage.
Ant went on :“Nigel Farage, now Nigel’s not just known for a controversial political career, he’s also got his own show on GB News.”
“Now of course he won’t be presenting that show over the next three weeks," Dec continued. “So, we’d like to take this opportunity to apologise to all GB News’ viewers.”
Taking a swipe at their audience, Ant added: “Sorry Keith, sorry Linda.”
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! airs daily at 9pm on ITV.
