There’s one pretty major person missing from the I’m A Celeb WhatsApp group

Awkward…

WhatsApp groups can get pretty political.

People are always very aware of who is in a group, and often, who has been left out of the group.

And it appears that this is something that also effects celebrities.

Philip Schofield recently revealed that he’s in a WhatsApp group with I’m A Celeb hosts, Holly Willoughby and Declan Donnelly.

Seems innocent enough, they’re all friends sure.

HOWEVER, Ant McPartlin, who usually co-hosts the show with Dec, is not in the group.

Kind of awkward.

Philip opened up about the group, saying it was created in preparation for Holly and Dec heading off to the jungle, while Ant stays at home.

“I think Ant is concentrating on himself and so no – we’re all letting him get well,” Philip said to the Mirror.

When talking about the group chat, Philip said:

“It’s me, Dec and Holly. I started it when they went out.”

“I didn’t say anything the day of her first show, or the lead up to her first show, or during her first show as the last thing you want to do is be distracted.”

“Both Ant and Dec and myself have also got a WhatsApp group for when they were out there. They’re very much like me. You can text or WhatsApp someone during a commercial break or long VT.”
