Ant and Dec have revealed their routines for this year’s I’m A Celebrity – with Dec dozing off each night listening to podcasts about his beloved Newcastle United.
The pair, both 48, have to work almost through the night in order to write gags with their pal, scriptwriter Andy Milligan, before they come on screen on ITV at 7am local time. And the weird workings of the show Down Under mean they need to be in bed by 7pm and set an alarm to wake them up at 2am every day for three weeks before heading into camp to begin work.
Answering a question on instagram, Dec said: “What is our routine? So we go and film the (Bushtucker) trial. Then we have been leaving here [jungle site] and getting home at 1pm. We have a couple of hours to chill and then have dinner about 4.30pm and then bed is like six or 6.30pm.”

Ant added: “And then our alarms go off at two or 2.30am every day. And you can never fall asleep at half six. It is always after seven.” Dec agreed and said: “I don’t fall asleep no, I go to bed and put on a podcast, a Newcastle United podcast, Pod On The Tyne or the True Faith podcast, I listen to that.”
Ant said: “I read in bed, by the way. I’m reading a good book at the moment, All The Light We Cannot See. It is a Netflix show now too.” Pod on The Tyne is a football podcast from The Athletic whilst True Faith is a popular fans podcast which began in 2014.
Ant’s current book of choice is a 2014 war novel by American author Anthony Doerr.
The book is set during World War II and revolves around the characters Marie-Laure LeBlanc, a blind French girl who takes refuge in her great-uncle’s house in Saint-Malo, and Werner Pfennig, a bright German boy who is accepted into a military school because of his skills in radio technology. Their paths collide during the war.
Ant has also been seen hitting the gym in Australia and had some boxing sessions in the afternoons to keep in shape.
