I’m A Celebrity’s Ant McPartlin worries for Dennis Wise’s ‘little friend’ as a crocodile gets very close to the footballer’s manhood

I’M A Celebrity’s Ant McPartlin is left concerned for Dennis Wise’s “little friend” during tonight’s trial.

The former footballer took part in Tortuous Tanks alongside Jamie Lomas when a crocodile got a little too close to his manhood.

The croc was added into the water as he attempted to dive down and unscrew keys, which would then unlock a padlock.

And the reptile made a beeline for Dennis, who was shocked to learn that he was sharing a tank with it.

In a clip, from scenes which will air tonight, Ant, who was watching on with Dec, declared: “Oh he’s very close to your little friend!”

Surprisingly Dec didn’t take the opportunity to comment on Dennis’ size, which has been his running joke throughout the series.

It seems he has been put off after Ant pointed out that he was in fact the same size as the retired footballer – 5ft 6inches.

As Dec called Dennis a “very small man” once again, Ant told her: "Oh hang on, I get it. I've been a fool.

It's been staring me in the face all along. It's because you're a little bit small isn't it?

But fans of the show think they have finally figured it all out – and it’s not because Dec is also short.

Dec and Ant are avid football fans and die-hard Newcastle United supporters.

Viewers with good memories will know that as well as playing for Chelsea and England, Dennis had an infamous spell at Newcastle when he was Executive Director of Football in the late noughties

Dennis wasn't very popular with Magpies fans during his stint thanks to some of his decisions, and this is why I'm a Celeb viewers think Ant and Dec have enjoyed their Dennis-based banter.
