In what could possibly be the most unexpected twist for all future history books, Ant and Dec and their trademark “good evening prime minister” has become everyone’s favourite example of expert trolling.
Throughout 2021’s I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here, the nation’s favourite presenting duo put their own spin on the latest scandals within government with a series of less-than-subtle digs.
And now, thanks to Twitter user @RyanJL74, the several instances of on-point trolling have been turned into an 85-second montage of pure joy.

Ant and Dec’s “Evening, Prime Minister!” moments have been incredible this series #imaceleb https://t.co/woQy5LIDXa— Ryan Love (@Ryan Love) 1638916862
From the notorious No 10 “cheese and wine party” video leak, to having “already booked [their] first celebrity” for next year’s show (aka Boris Johnson), the pair have not held back with their mocking.

And fans of the show have loved it, which one writing on Twitter: “I am living for Ant & Dec ripping the s*** out of Boris Johnson this series.”
Another crowned the comments as “hysterical” and “perfection.”
“Ant & Dec killing it with the Boris jokes,” one added, while a final Twitter user suggested, “When you’ve lost Ant and Dec, you’ve lost the country.”
Here’s a flavour of some of the other reaction...
@RyanJL74 I did not expect the biting political comedy of 2021 to be coming from Ant and Dec - that ‘for now’ was glorious— Michelle Birkby (@Michelle Birkby) 1638997362

Emmerdale soap star Danny Miller was crowned king of the castle on Sunday’s final of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
He explained to Ant and Dec how he’d gone on the show to secure his son’s financial future: “I never thought I’d be in this position, I barely thought I’d make it through the first two or three votes or so.”
“I have made no secret about the fact that I wanted to be able to give him and set him up for a good future. I wasn’t financially set for that and this is an opportunity to do that,” he said.
“It would set me and my family up. I feel like I have done it. I feel proud of myself and I hope my family are as well.”
Judging by this year, it’s certainly not impossible to see Johnson on next year’s series...
