I'm a Celebrity's new campmates Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles are "shamelessly" lying to main camp, hosts Ant and Dec have said.

The Rev and Love Island star are settling into a separate camp away from the other 10 celebrities, including Coleen Rooney and McFly's Danny Jones. To their surprise, they are living in a luxurious camp with a double bed, mini fridge, bath and snacks.

However, their secret mission means they cannot let main camp know and they must even convince them they are really roughing it. So far they've managed to beg the main camp for a bed — that they didn't even need — but it's all part of the plan. If Higgins and Coles are successful, the whole camp will win a buffet.

Behind the scenes, this has been amusing Ant and Dec who joked the pair were "shameless" for not doing the chores and lying to the 10 celebs. "They are shameless," they joked when the pair were supposedly tasked with doing the main camp's washing up. In reality, Higgins and Coles do not have to do their washing up — even though main camp think they are.

Elsewhere in the episode, Ant and Dec joked the stars would threaten to quit if Dean McCullough continues doing the trials because they have all been going hungry.

Last year Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears quit the ITV show — so Ant and Dec found a way to make light of stars leaving the jungle early.

The radio presenter shouted I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here and only managed to get four stars in Lethal Lab trial. It comes after a series of terrible trials. McCullough and GK Barry got zero stars on Wednesday and he got two stars on his own on Tuesday.
