I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly admitted they were in "so much trouble" after making a very cheeky joke on the ITV series.

The Geordie duo referred to their own respective marriages and made cheeky quip about 'throuples' as they introduced new arrivals to viewers during Thursday night's instalment of the star-studded reality TV show. The pair seemed to regret their joke almost instantly, admitting live on air: "We're in so much trouble!"

During the show, new arrival Tony Bellew spoke about his boxing career, mentioning how he beat David Haye twice. Nigel Farage then brought up David's rumoured throuple romance with Sian Osborne and Una Healey. This led Ant and Dec to make a joke about their own relationship.

Dec said: "You might not know this but Ant and I are in a throuple." Ant agreed: "We are. We both have one partner who means more to us than anything, who is the love of our life." Dec finished off by saying: "And then we've got our wives!" Ant laughed: "We're in so much trouble," as Dec agreed: "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. The Saturdays singer Una Healy , 41, hit the headlines earlier this year when she appeared to admit she was in a 'throuple' with David Haye and his on/off girlfriend Sian Osborne. However, the mum-of-two went on to cut ties with the couple and claim she was only ever in a relationship with the boxer.

"It was casual, it wasn't serious," Una explained to Vogue Williams on a podcast. "I was happy enough with it. It was in a romantic capacity. [David] was very honest that I wasn't the only woman he was seeing, I was very aware he was seeing other people. I knew he was being honest and it's not like I was being cheated on. I knew he wasn't husband material, just a bit of fun and I was enjoying it."

"Ant and Dec's joke about being in a throuple. Howling," echoed a second.

"Ant and Dec are in a throuple with Stephen Mulhern," joked another viewer. While others voiced their confusion at how Nigel knew about the infamous throuple. One penned: "How does Nigel Farage know about the David Haye, Una Healy throuple." "Not Nigel Farage bringing up the throuple," said a second. Another agreed: "Nigel Farage knowing about David Haye's throuple. This is a fever dream."
