Ant and Dec reveal reason Fred Sireix was fuming with Josie’s Bushtucker meal – in scenes that weren’t shown on camera
FRED Sirieix’s bad temper over Josie Gibson’s cooking might be more justified than some viewers know.
Ant and Dec often take to social media for a live broadcast after the main show, and they revealed that she was making it for four hours.
Last night, Ant McPartlin, 48, decided to defend Fred Sirieix after he came under fire from fans for clashing with Josie Gibson.
Over the past few nights the pair have butted heads after the This Morning star was chosen to prepare all the food by the camp leader.
After the show, the presenting duo participated in their Jungle Club interactive show on Instagram live.
During the broadcast, Ant decided to defend to vigorously defend the chef, because he thought Josie was ‘not listening’.
“Lets talk about Fred and Josie, I’d like to talk about it, whose side are you on?
“But, can I just say something here? Josie isn’t listening to what he’s saying, because it did take a long time to cook that tail last night.
“Hell, of a long time.”
The I’m A Celebrity pair then revealed that a lot more went on than viewers can say, as the meal preparation actually took far longer than was shown on screen.
Declan Donnelly, 58, couldn’t help but interject as he enquired: “About what was it? Like three hours? Four hours?”
Ant continued: “Three hours, too long. That’s four hours [being told in my ear]. That was too long, if she listened to Fred she could have kept the bone to have as stock tomorrow.
When Dec noticed that a lot of the viewers comments were on Josie’s side, Ant decided to defend his position on the feud.
“I’m gonna stick up for Fred here a second, I’d say he does know what he’s talking about.
But Ant responded: “He definitely does know what he’s talking about I’ll give him that.
“However he doesn’t stop talking about knowing what he is talking about.”
Nonetheless, some fans think it’s time for the First Dates star to leave camp amid his feud over the cooking.
One I’m A Celeb fan posted: “Get Fred out now ! He’s winding me up.”
A second fumed: “Can’t stand this man. Vote him out!!!!!”
While a third wrote: “Don’t like Fred now, the way he made himself the focus of the conversation without even asking any other opinions and he just nominated himself for the trial not realising Marvin wanted to do it aswell, and the criticism he’s been giving to Josie is ridiculous, she’s never going to learn things if she doesn’t make mistakes!!”
And a fourth viewer added: “Fred is soooo annoying VOTE FRED OUT PLZZZZZZ.”
