Ant and Dec’s faces when it happened – priceless!
Live TV is always a bit risky as there is so much room for things to go wrong, so it can often be extremely nerve-wracking for all involved.
Television pros Ant and Dec ran into a bit of a hiccup during the live segment of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here on Thursday night, and it sent Twitter into absolute meltdown.
The lads were ringing the camp to deliver a spot of bad news to the campers, but a technical glitch caused the whole thing to go a little bit wrong.

As Ant rang the jungle’s telephone, Ferne McCann was on hand to pick up the call and though he managed to get across some of the news about what was going on, it all went a bit pear-shaped in the middle and everyone watching thought it was hilarious.
Twitter reacted in style, with some pretty amazing Adele references (well played folks, well played).
