By | December 14, 2023

The latest season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has ended and Sam Thompson won it. But who did the hosts, Ant and Dec predict to win season 23? Here’s all you need to know about their pic and whether their prediction was fake.

Who did Ant and Dec predict to win I’m a Celebrity 2023?

It was recently revealed that Ant and Dec correctly predicted Sam Thompson to be the winner of I’m a Celebrity 2023. But there’s evidence that they had actually picked Josie.

Ant and Dec guessed the winner of Season 23 on the first night and sealed their picks in an envelope. Then during the I’m A Celebrity special Coming Out, viewers found out that both of them had been spot on as they predicted Sam Thompson to be the winner.

But many of them aren’t convinced because, in a recent Instagram Live session, both Ant and Dec showed that their first prediction was Josie Gibson. Take a look:

It’s worth noting that Ant McPartlin had Sam as his second preference. But Deck didn’t pick him at all and most importantly, both of them had picked Josie.

Did Ant and Dec fake their I’m a Celebrity 2023 prediction?

Ant and Dec have seemingly faked their I’m a Celebrity 2023 prediction during the I’m A Celebrity special Coming Out for dramatic purposes.

Looking at the ‘fake’ prediction reveal of Ant and Dec, I’m a Celebrity has found itself in hot water, with the online chatter going haywire. Here’s how a few fans have reacted to it:

No statement has been made by anyone from the show regarding this little fiasco. But, understandably, Ant and Dec’s predictions could have simply been changed on air to make things seem more dramatic.
