Owen Warner was gobsmacked after Ant and Dec informed him that Chris Moyles had been telling him a load of porkies during their stint on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!
During Sunday’s grand finale, fans saw former health secretary Matt Hancock finishing in third place, with the Hollyoaks star as this year’s runner up and Lionesses Jill Scott taking the crown.
But before the result was announced, Matt and Jill looked reflected on their jungle highlights with hosts Ant and Dec.
One of the long-running gags on this year’s series involved radio DJ Chris having a bit of fun with ‘gullible’ Owen by feeding him a lot of lies over his personal achievements.
During one of their dingo dollar challenges, Chris told the Romeo Nightingale actor: ‘I was a Commonwealth 40 metre sprint champion when I was 21.’
To which Owen replied: ‘Impressive.’
Bless him!
Tonight the penny finally dropped for Owen as Ant and Dec finally came clean about Chris’ light-hearted deceit.
‘So he wasn’t a world champion dancer?’ Owen exclaimed.
After Ant McPartlin stressed that Chris was ‘making it all up,’ Owen turned to 2022 series winner Jill and asked: ‘Did you know about this?’
Jill, like the rest of her co-stars, was definitely in on the joke much to Owen’s surprise.
‘Why didn’t you tell me, I thought you had my back,’ he added.
Owen later joked that he wondered why Chris didn’t bust a move in camp despite hailing himself a ‘world champion.’
Fans were certainly entertained by the star’s shocked reaction, with one writing: ‘IM CRYINGGJKG OWEN’S FACE WHEN HE REALISED CHRIS HAS BEEN LYING TO HIM THE WHOLE TIME.’
‘Owen is so pure. We literally saw the penny drop when he realised about Chris Moyles and the dancing,’ another added.
‘Owen looked so genuinely upset when he found out that Chris had been taking him for a mug… Bless,’ a third person tweeted.
I’m A Celebrity… The Coming Out Show airs on Thursday December 1 at 9pm on ITV.
