I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have admitted they are ‘in trouble’ after making a cheeky joke on air.
On the latest episode of the reality series, campmates shared their opinions on former boxer David Haye’s ‘throuple’ arrangement.
Not missing their chance to weigh in, the hosts also referred to their own respective marriages and made a cheeky quip about ‘throuples’, but quickly seemed to regret their joke.
‘You might not know this but Ant and I are in a throuple,’ Dec teased speaking to viewers.
Ant agreed, saying: ‘We are. We both have one partner who means more to us than anything, who is the love of our life.
Jumping back in his co-host said: ‘And then we’ve got our wives!’
The pair then burst out laughing and agreed they were in ‘so much trouble’.
Ant has been married to Anne-Marie Corbett since 2021, while Dec tied the knot with Ali Astall in 2015 and they have two children together.
Their comments came after the arrival of retired boxer Tony Bellew, who was a latecomer to camp on Thursday night’s episode.
During a discussion with campmates, conversation turned to his former professional rival David Haye.
Earlier this year the 43-year-old boxer generated plenty of attention for appearing to couple up with not only girlfriend Sian Osborne, 30, but former The Saturday’s singer Una Healy, 42.
While none of the three officially addressed the rumours while together, David appeared to confirm the relationship on Valentine’s Day as he paid tribute to the ‘Queens’ in his life.
Now, their arrangement has been discussed in the camp after the arrival of Tony Bellow, 40.
During Thursday’s night episode, David’s unconventional relationship was mentioned by Grace Dent and Nigel Farage.
While Tony did have to ask his campmates what a ‘throuple’ was, once he found out, he threw his support behind it before backtracking.
It was actually Farage who alerted him to what it was, explaining: ‘He was living with two birds’.
‘Oh, David’s living the dream, believe you and me,’ Tony then exclaimed.
But he added: ‘I don’t get it. I can just about deal with one to be honest.’
Considering the possibility of being in a throuple, This Morning host Josie Gibson made her thoughts known and shared: ‘Imagine being the other woman though?
‘I don’t… I couldn’t do that.’
Their discussion began when Tony gave an insight into his career and how it was only when he began to fight David that he made his fortune.
Tony said he was ‘skint’ before his first fight with the heavyweight boxer, which saw him make the most money he had ever made.
Tony said he used to antagonise David before the fights and even though he beat him twice, he still thought his archrival was the ‘better fighter’.
Earlier this year, Una, claimed she was ‘hoodwinked’ into the relationship with David, whilst he was also dating Sian.
Una revealed she had been looking for a monogamous relationship but decided to date polyamorous David because their romance was ‘casual’.
But after a group holiday to Costa Rica she knew the situation ‘wasn’t right’ and she wanted out.
‘There’s no dynamic there – she’s not my girlfriend – he’s both our boyfriend and I just thought, “I’m out, you can have him”,’ she told Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally on their My Therapy Ghosted Me podcast.
However, Sian appeared to brand Una a ‘liar’, with The Sun later reporting that she shared a dictionary definition of the word hoodwinked to her social media.
Metro.co.uk has contacted representatives for David Haye for comment.
I’m A Celebrity continues tonight on ITV and ITVX at 9pm.
