AN awkward blunder was spotted by I’m A Celebrity viewers after Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly entered camp.
The hosts made their daily visit to deliver the public result to stars who were eagerly awaiting at the end of Wednesday night’s show.

However, a jungle cameraman accidentally got two stars ‘mixed up’ while millions watched at home.
When Ant and Dec were revealing the news that Maura Higgins would not face the latest Bushtucker Trial, the camera focused on Tulisa Contostavlos sitting in camp.
It then abruptly panned to Maura when the error had been realised by production.
One viewer said: “Anyone else catch that mistake when they showed us Tulisa when they said ‘Maura’.”
Another added: “Not the camera op getting Maura and Tulisa mixed up.”
“Why did they just show Tulisa when they were talking about Maura?”, another asked.
Someone else said: “I love when they make an error on I’m a Celeb, it just makes me laugh
“‘Maura it’s not you’, while showing Tulisa.”
Elsewhere on the episode, Tulisa was left disappointed when she returned from a Bushtucker Trial with five out of 12 stars.
The singer insisted her campmates would be “devastated” and “crying inside”.
Tulisa struggled during Shock Around The Clock to answer general knowledge questions – and was heavily helped by Ant and Dec.
She told the hosts: “When I was in there my brain just wouldn’t function, it just went blank, I was just trying to survive.”
