I’m A Celebrity 2022: Producers edited out Chris Moyles jokes about Ant McPartlin’s past struggles

I’m a Celebrity producers have reportedly been working extra to edit out inappropriate jokes made by Chris Moyles about his friend and host of the reality show, Ant McPartlin’s former struggles with alcohol addiction and his 2018 car crash.

A source told The Sun that the 48 year old radio DJ has reportedly made some ‘p***taake remarks’ which have become a problem for the final edits that make it on to our screens every night.

Moyles has been friendly with both Ant and Dec outside the jungle for a number of years, but apparently Moyles’ jokes have gone too far within the camp. Moyles looks at the jokes as ‘banter’ but it has become a problem for behind the scenes crew when finalising the programme for ITV views.

The Sun reported a source told them: ‘Like when Ant and Dec pulled up in the speedboat in the first episode, Chris joked he was surprised they let Ant in anything so fast because he’s known to crash stuff. And there was a big bottle on one of the sets and Chris joked, "That’s the size of Ant’s vodka bottles at home"... it’s all that kind of thing.’

Ant McPartlin has had his fair share of public struggles in recent years, in 2018 he was fined £86,000 for drink driving following a crash, which is thought to be the highest fine ever handed out by a British court for the offence.

After receiving the fine, McPartlin told reporters outside the court:‘I let myself down. I let a lot of people down and for that I’m truly sorry.’ The three-car crash the TV presenter was involved with also led to a 20 month ban from driving as he was reported to be twice over the legal limit.

McPartlin later entered a rehab facility to help combat his problems with alcohol and prescription drug addiction.
