I'M A Celebrity fans were in hysterics as Ant and Dec bungled last night's trial – leaving Simon Gregson looking for a star that wasn't there.

The hosts, both 46, watched on as he kept scrabbling around in a barrel not realising he had already finished the task.

Simon has retrieved the star from a foul barrel of fermented eggnog – but neither the hosts not the producers had cottoned on.

Dec Donnelly told the Coronation Street actor: "Come on Si, don't give up now. Back in the eggnog Si."

After plunging his face back into the gunge, he told the pair: "I've already got one out of here you know?"

Ant roared: "Ah, have you? Well why didn't you tell us?"

Simon raged, gesturing around him and all the recording equipment: "You've got cameras."

He then submerged his face back into the foul brew leaving Dec insisting: "Simon stop. You've only got one."

The hosts later tried to blame the Steve McDonald actor saying: "You never said I've got the star."

Suggesting it would have been impossible with his mouth in the gunge, he hit back: "How?"
