The reason why Ant and Dec cover their watches has been revealed ahead of this year's I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

Some would argue it's the best show on British television, and ultimately when we see our two favourite Geordie hosts on our screen this time of year - it means Christmas is just around the corner.

Fans are waiting with eager anticipation for the launch of the 2024 I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, and it seems as though this year, the cast includes someone that every demographic will recognise.

But viewers don't have long to wait, as we'll catch a glimpse of the celebrities getting put though their paces on November 17.

One thing fans love about the show is seeing the BTS of how the production works, and last year they caught onto an interesting detail.

A handful of eagle-eyed viewers cleverly noticed that hosts Ant and Dec have the faces of their watches covered with plasters, whilst presenting the dreaded trials.

After watching an episode of the show last year, one viewer said on X: "Is Ant's watch covered because of cameras or because of the sun reflection? @antanddec or am I seeing things?"

A second admitted: "I don't get why do Ant & Dec have their watches always covered #ImACeleb."

Well, it turns out that there's actually a very important reason why the duo have their accessories disguised.

Following the flood of questions, the official I'm A Celeb social media account set the record straight.

"Ant & Dec's watches are covered to stop the celebs finding out what time it is," ITV bosses explained. "They have no idea, as there are no clocks in camp."

This revelation comes after ex-contestant Scarlett Moffatt opened up on time keeping Down Under during a 2017 interview on I'm A Celebrity: Extra Camp.

"It's so the campmates don't know the time, so all the watches are covered for the people that see the campmates all the time, like Ant, Dec and Medic Bob," Scarlett explained.

"I think it’s just so you’re really disorientated, like we had no concept of time."

The cast this year has a wide range of familiar faces, including Love Island's Maura Higgins, Loose Women's Jane Moore, Coronation Street's Alan Halsall, Coleen Rooney, TikTok star GK Barry, and many more.
