It adds to why campmates find it so hard in the jungle
This year’s I’m A Celeb is well under way and with that comes all the camp secrets that fans can’t get enough of.
It’s been a week since the new season of the much-loved show graced our screens, already bringing us TV gold with the Bushtucker Trials.
Most recently we’ve seen Campmates Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles having had to eat a load of bugs and other animal body parts.
As much as we cringe on our sofas, it wouldn’t be I’m A Celeb without someone chowing down on an animal testicle now, would it?
The return of the show means we get to spend our nights with Geordie hosting duo Ant and Dec as fans during last year’s show noticed an interesting detail.
The two kick off the show from the early hours Down Under before switching to pre-recorded trials. You know the deal; they present live from the studio and show us clips from the day before.
And while they were doing all this, ITV viewers spotted Ant and Dec had the faces of their watches covered with plasters.
One confused viewer wrote on X: “Is Ant’s watch covered because of cameras or because of the sun reflection? @antanddec or am I seeing things?”
Another echoed: “I don’t get why do Ant & Dec have their watches always covered #ImACeleb.”
Well, turns out it’s actually to keep things secret from the stars in camp.

After fans’ noticed the random detail, the official I’m A Celeb social media account set the record straight.
It explained: “Ant & Dec’s watches are covered to stop the celebs finding out what time it is.
“They have no idea, as no clocks in camp.”
Yep, the celebrities down under are living virtually off the grid as they supposedly don’t have a clue what time of day it is as they dine on rice and beans and take part in trials for food.
Former contestant Scarlett Moffatt also commented on this secrecy over time during a 2017 episode of the old spin-off show, I’m A Celebrity… Extra Camp.
She explained: “It’s so the campmates don’t know the time, so all the watches are covered for the people that see the campmates all the time, like Ant, Dec and Medic Bob.
“I think it’s just so you’re really disorientated, like we had no concept of time.”
