I'm a Celebrity's Ant makes Hollyoaks mistake with Nick Pickard
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! spoilers follow.
We've all gotten a soap star's name mixed up with their character's before, and that's exactly what happened to Ant on I'm a Celebrity tonight (November 29).
In the latest instalment of jungle action, Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard had to take on the Bushtucker Trial "In Too Deep" with Nigel Farage. Each celeb had to be in a water tank and take turns to collect stars while water rose and critters crittered around them.
During the Trial, Nick asked when he could grab his next star, and Ant said: "We'll let you know when you can go, Tony. [Nigel] hasn't got [his star] yet."

There was a short silence before Dec muttered "Tony" under his breath and laughed. After looking confused for a second, Ant realised his mistake and started cackling while Nick corrected the presenter.
"He's a big fan, a big fan," Dec added.
After the Trial — in which Nick won six stars, while Nigel won zero after uttering the show's title and giving up — Nick told Ant and Dec that people had been calling him "Tony" all week.
"I've been really struggling to not call Nick 'Tony'," Ant responded, "but I'll never do it on camera."
Bit late for that one...

Before the episode aired, it was announced that Jamie Lynn Spears had become the second celeb to leave the series on "medical grounds", which Ant and Dec addressed at the start of the episode.
"The good news is Jamie Lynn is doing fine, and she goes away with our best wishes," Dec said.
The campmates also reacted to her departure, with EastEnders star Danielle Harold saying she'd had grown quite close to Jamie Lynn during their time together.
I'm a Celebrity… airs on ITV1 and ITVX. Hollyoaks streams first online via Channel 4 each weekday at 7.30pm. Episodes then air on E4 the following day before getting their YouTube premiere a week after that.
Selected omnibus episodes are available via Prime Video.
