Last night, millions tuned in to watch I'm A Celeb and what is basically torture of a load of Z-listers in the name of entertainment. It's okay, though, they get paid a shit-tonne of cash plus they'll probably get an invite to the opening of Stoke's new nightclub.
For Ant and Dec, they're the biggest winners of all. They get to keep their dignity in tact, they make some serious cash and they get to piss about for an hour every morning. It's a sweet gig. However, the problem is that when your show is so unbelievably popular, you're bound to offend at least SOMEONE.
When I was watching the show at 9pm on ITV last night (and tears were rolling down my cheeks as I watched Scarlett Moffatt attempt to eat an arsehole) there was a section where Ant and Dec took the mickey out of Scarlett for contacting Stephen Hawking with a theory about time travel.
Well, it looks like some people didn't like the Geordie duo's sketch at all. They pretended to ring Stephen Hawking and asked 'him' about Scarlett's theory. Check it out:
Lots of people had a problem with the routine and let their feelings be known.
I found the Stephen Hawking jokes extremely distasteful tbh #ImACeleb
