Ant and Dec? Dramatic? Never!

| Updated:

Newcastle’s finest TV presenting duo Ant and Dec gave I’m A Celebrity audiences a sneak peek of the jungle today via a “dramatic” Instagram post.

In the video, they weep with excitement after pretending to stumble unwittingly upon the jungle setting for this year’s edition of ITV’s flagship reality show.

The full I’m A Celebrity 2024 cast list has officially been announced, with reports of two latecomers joining the all-star roster.

So, seemingly good news for those hoping to catch Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles eating grubs in New South Wales, where I’m A Celebrity has been filmed since 2003.

Ant and Dec on I’m A Celebrity 2024

TV duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly shared a video to their 5.2 million Instagram followers today of the pair strolling through the I’m A Celebrity studio, seemingly mid-conversation.

That’s when their eyes catch the sight in front of them: the jungle of New South Wales. They’re on the set of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.

They proceed to stare wide-eyed at the luscious greenery bearing down on them. Palms upon palms. They slap each other on the shoulder and keel over in mock tears of excitement.

The caption reads: “Us? Dramatic!? Never.”

Well, yes, actually, Anthony and Declan. You? Dramatic?! Always. And that’s why we love you.

“This is me when the show starts every year,” writes one Instagram user.

Another called out the best friend duo for parodying themselves, writing: “Omg, it’s the same as every other year!”

“But seriously,” they add. “Can’t wait until Sunday.”

A third fan edited the lyrics of Ant and Dec’s 1994 hit Let’s Get Ready to Rhumble – although they went by PJ & Duncan AKA then – by writing: “Let’s get ready to jungle.

The anticipation is building. The trees are looking “particularly beautiful”. Fans think this will be a “great season”.

Another gushed: “Can’t wait!! You boys are so funny!”

Someone else wrote: “I can’t wait to see my favourite duo on.”

And Ant & Dec – all together now – are not being dramatic.

I’m A Celebrity begins this Sunday, November 17, from 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
