Im A Celebs Ant breaks silence on Fred and Josie feud as he backs one star

I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! presenter Ant McPartlin has shared his views on the current tension between Josie Gibson and Fred Sirieix.

The This Morning presenter, 38, and Fred have had a number of heated cooking rows in recent episodes. The First Dates star, 52, has become increasingly frustrated after having to hand over cooking duties to Josie after she was nominated to be camp chef.

The drama continued during Monday's instalment (December 5) of the ITV reality show after Josie explained she wanted to make some bean fritters. TV personality Fred quickly shut down the idea, noting her lack of ingredients would make it impossible.

Later, after Fred won seven stars in the Bushtucker Trial, the campmates were awarded kangaroo tail for dinner. Fred immediately suggested braising it and keeping the stock for the next morning, however, Josie was insistent on stewing it.

The chef pointed out how long that would take, but Josie stuck to her guns and stewed the meat. After the episode, hosts Ant and Dec touched upon the debate during an Instagram Live with their followers.

After asking fans who's side they're on, Ant quipped: "Can I just say something here? Josie isn't listening to what he's saying. Because it did take a long time to cook that tail last night, a hell of a long time.

"Four hours! That was too long. And if she'd listened to Fred she could have kept the bone to have the stock tomorrow."

Fans began sharing their opinions, with several throwing their support behind Josie. Seeing the comments, Ant jumped in: "I'm just going to stick up for Fred here for a second and say he does know what he's talking about."

"He definitely does know what he's talking about." Dec added. "However, he doesn't stop talking about knowing what he's talking about." Ant agreed: "He doesn't necessarily go about it in the right way. But they could have had stock today." Remaining on the fence, Dec concluded: "I can see both sides of it."
