Vernon went head to head with Victoria Derbyshire to get as many gold coins as he could and win a banquet meal for the boys' team.

In typical I'm A Celeb fashion the pair were subjected to the task while wading through creepy crawlies.

One nasty bug must have crawled up his pants as TV star Vernon let out a wail and screamed "f***k!"

His blunder didn't go unnoticed as fans at home flooded Twitter and one said: "Vernon screaming f**k on live TV. That’s it. That’s the tweet. #ImACeleb"

Another tweeted: "vernon kay screaming “f**k” is my new religion"

Dozens more asked on Twitter: "Did Vernon Kay just shout ‘F**K’ on live telly?"

And others shared memes, with the caption: "Ant & dec: 'No swearing'
Vernon: 'F**K!' The whole of the UK...."

The ex Family Fortunes host was forced say goodbye to his daughter Phoebe, 16, and Amber, 11, when he moved into his temporary home at Gwrych Castle in Wales.

His wife Tess has been managing his Instagram account whilst he's away and shared a video of Vernon following tonight's trial.

In the clip he waved to the camera after shaking off the bugs, and mouthed '"hi" and said his daughters names.

Sharing the moment, Tess wrote: "Nice to see the novelty of live TV hasn't worn off for @vernonkay 👋 #ImACeleb"

He's also sending a secret signal to Tess by rocking a large diamond horseshoe ring on his finger as a sweet reminder of their love.

Vernon, who is a mega Elvis Presley fan, previously explained that his wife surprised him on their wedding anniversary with the chunky ring.

 back in 2010, he said: "The most romantic thing Tess has done for me was for our wedding anniversary.

"I'm a huge Elvis Presley fan and when he first signed his record deal he bought himself a pinky ring with a lucky horseshoe on it."

He added: "I had a really bad fake copy of it from Graceland, but she took it to a Hatton Garden jeweller and had a white gold version made with real diamonds.

"It's quality! I couldn't believe it when she had it made. It only ever comes out on themed nights, though."
