I’M A Celebrity got off to a chaotic start tonight after Ant McPartlin slipped before flinging his umbrella in the air.
The show began with Ant and Dec holding umbrellas as the rain came down on them in the Australian jungle.

Just moments into the show beginning, viewers saw the duo walk onto set to begin presenting the episode.
However, as they made their way up, Ant slipped on some rain water and went flying.
He let out: “Ooh, ohhh, it’s slippy guys,” as he tried to compose himself.
Ant then attempted to close his umbrella but after having no luck, he flung it into the air and fumed: “I can’t do this stupid thing.”
The two then carried on with the show as they alerted viewers to what’s been going on in camp.
ITV fans flocked to X to share their thoughts on the hilariously awkward blunder.
One viewer commented: “I can’t with Ant almost flying two seconds into the show.”
Another person joked: “You might sa2
Somebody else said: “Ant nearly slipping in the rain is so me #ImACeleb.”
Yet another penned: “Ant nearly stacking it has been the most interesting thing to happen in #ImACeleb.”
While a fifth added: “Ant nearly slipping over and losing it over an umbrella, off to a great start already.”
Ant referenced the awkward moment later on in the show, after they returned from an ad break.
He said: “Welcome back to a wet and slippy Australia,” before laughing with Dec.
The blunder comes after Ant hinted at who his favourite celebrity is on this series.
While interviewing Ant and Dec from Australia for This Morning, ITV star Alison Hammond asked: “I know you can’t say you think we will, but maybe who you would like to…?”
Ant said: “Aitch has surprised me.
“I’d seen him on YouTube and stuff and I didn’t think he was this fun.
“He doesn’t take himself as seriously as I thought he would.”
He previously made a scathing review on the second episode after watching Angry Ginge accidentally spill beans into the fire.
Commenting on the chaos, Ant said: “I’m going early here, alright, but this lot here are hapless. Bunch of idiots.
“They’re going to struggle in there, aren’t they? They really are.”
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX & STV Player.
I’m A Celebrity…Unpacked airs nightly after the main show on ITV2, STV, ITVX & STV Player.
