And and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway viewers have accused a studio audience member of “cheating” after he stormed through Read My Lips and won a place on the plane.
Three audience members were chosen to take part in the game, while it was celebrity guests who had to read out the words for them to guess.
The celebrity guests were the newly announced line-up for I’m A Celebrity South Africa, which will see a group of former all-star contestants return to camp, albeit in a new location.

Satty, from Southampton, was given a pair of noise-cancelling headphones to wear as Helen read out three South African animals and he could not hear Ant and Dec’s jokes when they asked if he could hear them.
He did incredibly well and guessed the words within seconds, while other contestants appeared to stumble over their guesses at first.
Some viewers suggested that Satty might not have been wearing the headphones correctly though, helping him to win, despite him making it clear he could not hear.
One said: “I think that guy just cheated. I swear that the headphones were not properly worn.”

Another wrote: “Sorry but that Satty geezer could definitely hear them, didn’t have the headphones on properly.”
A third said: “Satty couldn’t have made it more obvious his headphones weren’t on.”
Someone else said: “He did not have those headphones over his ears the cheating swine.”
A fifth added: “Noise cancelling headphones bulls*** Satty heard every word.”
And a sixth continued: “Satty using his headphones to win a place on the plane.”
Meanwhile, others defended him, with one saying: “All you whinging about Satty on Saturday Night Takeaway they’re not gonna give you the place on the plane, move on.”
Another agreed: “Well said, hope he enjoys his seat on the plane.”
And a third wrote: “Good at this game ain’t you Satty lad.”

Daily Star has contacted a representative for Saturday Night Takeaway for comment.
Helen was joined on the virtual panel by her I’m A Celebrity South Africa co-stars: Carol Vorderman, Amir Khan, Jordan Banjo, Janice Dickinson, Fatima Whitbread, Paul Burrell, Phil Tufnell and Shaun Ryder.
The series was filmed in South Africa last year and will not feature a public vote, with the camp mates having to battle it out themselves for the crown.
