I'm A Celebrity fans furious after Ant and Dec 'try to help' Tulisa in gruelling trial

I'm A Celeb fans hit out at hosts Ant and Dec after they gave Tulisa Contostavlos a few hints during her tough trial.

On Wednesday night, fans tuned in to watch Tulisa spin around a giant clock while answering general knowledge questions in order to earn stars for the camp. After each round of questions, a different type of insect dropped onto her, including cockroaches, worms and crickets.

The star struggled with a few rounds as Ant and Dec asked her to name 12 of her campmates, 12 elements from the periodic table, 12 British kings and queens and more. While she was being spun around, she forgot the names of two of her campmates - Coleen Rooney and Melvin Odoom.

After a few rounds, Ant and Dec started helping her by providing her with a few clues. One round was about the phonetic alphabet and Tulisa admitted she didn't know it, so Ant helped her by saying: "When you get pulled over by the police..." Giving away 'golf' for the letter 'G', Dec asked: "Sport... when you use clubs and a ball."

Ant also helped when he said: "This month," for 'November'. Fans were less than impressed with the hosts' assistance in the trial and rushed to social media to slam the show. "Why are Ant and Dec trying to help Tulisa?!" one angry user commented on their page, while another said: "Who's answering the questions in this trial, Ant and Dec or Tulisa?"

One person added: "Ant and Dec definitely like Tulisa, so much help this trial," as another posted: "These trials are hard bloody work to watch this year!" Ant and Dec might have given Tulisa a few clues during the challenge, but the N-Dubz only left the challenge with five stars for the camp.

Meanwhile, when it was announced that Tulisa would be the one facing the Bushtucker Trial, Love Island star Maura Higgins said she was glad it wasn't her facing it. In scenes aired before the actual trial, Tulisa said: "I know Maura's so entertained right now."

Maura was heard laughing, as Tulisa teased: "You're gonna be sat here giggling like this while I'm doing it." Maura reacted: "I'd love to be a fly on the wall." Teasing back, Tulisa called her co-star "a little cow". The pair both laughed and later reflecting in the bush telegraph, Maura said: "I am happy, no trial for Maura today so I've got a smile on my face."
