A seriously awkward joke.
It’s barely half an hour into the new series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here and we’ve already experienced an awkward joke.
As fans of the show will know, Declan Donnelly is presenting but this time he’s joined by Holly Willoughby instead of his long-term colleague and pal, Ant McPartlin.
The banter between Ant and Dec is always a massive hit with fans and understandably, they’re going to miss it this time around.
However, Dec is doing his best to keep the atmosphere light and has thrown in a few funny gags here and there. The only issue this they’re not really being reciprocated by Holly.
There was one very awkward moment tonight and it didn’t go noticed by people watching who took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Anyone else thinking the banter between holly and Dec is a little awkward? I miss ant #ImACeleb

Dec basically said that he never does it with a girl, that he always do with with a bloke so he’s finding things a bit odd this year.
Dec “I normally do it with a bloke every night so it’s a bit different doing it with a woman” ? #ImACeleb

"Normally I do it with a bloke, and the people watching seem to enjoy it." ??? I love Dec so much. #ImACeleb

People at home thought it was hilarious judging by these tweets but it has to be said Holly didn’t really see the funny side and instead encourgaed Dec to move the conversation on.
Anyone else finding it a bit awk that Dec's cracking jokes & Holly's just like#ImACeleb pic.twitter.com/I5XCIr2u6h

Dec trying to start some natural bants with Holly and failing through no fault of his own #shouldhavegonewithmulhern. Miss you Ant #imaceleb

Holly seems uncomfortable so far.
Bit wooden and zero chemistry with Dec. Hoping she settles in a bit. #ImACeleb— Cate Annelle Hayes (@cathhayes2) November 18, 2018
However, as some have pointed out it’s only the first night and come on, give Holly a break already.
HOLLY IS DOING SO WELL, SHE’LL GET USED TO THE BANTER WITH DEC GIVE HER TIME, SHES NEVER WORKED WITH DEC BEFORE #ImACeleb

Already 25,000 tweets for 'Holly'. Those of you who have already decided she is not funny or duo doesn't work – it's only been on 35 mins and Dec has had the best gags so give her a chance, a few eps to settle in at least #ImACeleb
