Former boxing champ Tony Bellew turned the air blue on I’m A Celebrity after learning he had lost out on a meal in a last-minute defeat.

Hosts Ant and Dec jumped in to correct the recent arrival, after he claimed the opposite team's victory was "a load of b***ocks". On Friday, the Away team led by Tony were left stunned when they lost the sporting trials competition, and the Home team led by Frankie Dettori won a slap-up meal dubbed "the breakfast of champions".

Tony was so stunned he said the result was "b***ocks". In fact, the campmate could be heard repeating: "That is a load of b***ocks" a number of times, while red in the face as the cheers of the opposite team drowned him out.

Ant and Dec ignored his comments, but did jump in to defend the Home team's victory. Host Declan Donnelly explained it was their strategy that earned them the win, and the breakfast.

Tony was having none of it though, and he looked furious as he continued to shout out about the Home team. Fred Sirieix and Frankie from the Home camp managed to complete an incredible comeback in the final playoff game called Handball.

They turned around a huge deficit despite the game ending with Tony believing he had won. He even told his camp they would enjoy a meal soon. The Home team managed 404 points whilst the Away team got 383 points.

When Ant and Dec prepared to announce the result, Tony was visibly shocked having just told the hosts: "You really think I lost to them? Are you serious?" So when the verdict came in, his face completely dropped before he said: "I want a VAR replay. We need VAR. That is b***ocks."

Ant and Dec quickly spoke over him, announcing two of the Away team would be taking on the next Bushtucker Trial. Meanwhile, viewers at home were quick to call Tony a "sore loser" over his reaction to the loss.

Taking to X, one viewer said: "Tony Bellew crying after he 100% thought his team won." Another said: "Tony Bellew is a bad loser then!" as a third said: "Tony is an annoyingly sore loser."

This was echoed by another viewer who wrote: "Love Tony, but my my what a sore loser." A fifth fan said: "Bellew’s a sore loser," as another wrote: "Anyone else think Tony wasn't too happy about not getting his brekkie?"
