Ant and Dec slam Jane Moore’s ‘unfair’ attack on Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones in I’m A Celeb camp

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! presenters Ant and Dec have called out Jane Moore for her ‘unfair’ criticism of ‘sexist’ camp leaders Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones. Jane was not pleased with being assigned washing up duties by the new camp bosses, branding the move ageist and sexist.

This sparked a response from the dynamic duo after the show aired. Ant remarked: “I think she is being a bit unfair by saying it’s sexist and ageist. I think they were just trying to do a good job in allocating fairly, if I’m honest.” Dec chimed in: “Yes, I agree. I feel for Barry, he was only trying to do his best.”

Ant sympathised: “Poor little Barry.” Earlier on, Ant had noted that a bit of friction can be good for the show, saying: “It’s good to have a little bit of tetchiness in there,” reports the Mirror. He pointed out that disputes often arise over chores and leadership decisions, adding: “I am not surprised as it’s always about the chores. It’s always around the leader and who they give the chores to. It’s either that or the cooking.”

The Loose Women presenter, 62, found herself on dishwashing duty alongside Tulisa. Before this, viewers saw Danny and Barry thoughtfully assigning tasks. Danny suggested: “Shall we talk chefs first, obviously me and Melvin can’t do that,” while Barry considered the need for strength and stamina for wood duty. When it came to Jane, Danny proposed: “I think we have to put Jane on washing up but the only thing I want to say is have we gone a bit male heavy on the strenuous jobs?”

Barry responded, acknowledging the concern: “I think that’s a fair comment but I don’t think they’d thank us after a few days.” Jane and Tulisa Contostavlos were assigned the washing-up duties, leading Jane to question: “Oh what? Is that because we’re women?” Barry tried to explain his decision by saying he thought Jane, being a year younger than him at 62, might prefer a less strenuous task. However, Jane retorted, calling his comment “so ageist and sexist.”

Oti Mabuse later said: “You could cut the tension with a knife.” “You could cut the tension with a knife.” Jane expressed her frustration to Danny, saying: “Those were my last words as you walked past me, ‘please not cleaning’, and you’ve given me cleaning.”

She added: “I’m not upset, I’m just saying it’s women doing the washing up again.” As well as Ant and Dec, her comments have sparked a strong reaction on social media with many saying her attack was unjustified. Barry and Danny were later spotted looking crestfallen.

Earlier in the show, Coleen Rooney had some choice words for Donald Trump, calling him a “dirty bastard”. The 38 year old recalled meeting the then US president-elect with her husband Wayne Rooney during their time living in the US. She shared the story with her fellow campmates, saying: “When we lived in America, we got invited to the White House for Christmas and we went in to meet Donald Trump.” She continued: “So Donald Trump said to his son ‘See? Told you, all the soccer players get the good-looking girls’. And I told my mum, I was like ‘dirty bastard’.”
