AS Ant McPartlin returned to the screen less than 24 hours after the chaotic I’m A Celeb live final, he wasted no time addressing the drama.

Kicking off with co-host Dec Donnelly, Ant quickly got in a cheeky dig at one of the celebrity campmates.

Last night saw the live final of the South Africa series descend into chaos as the cast feuded over Jimmy Bullard’s clash with Adam Thomas.

whilst Sinitta was seen storming away from the stage mid-show during the chaos-filled episode.

And whilst tonight’s BGT may have been a change of scenery, the drama was still on Ant’s mind.

After joking that he “loves live TV” moments after arriving on stage, Ant then turned to the judging panel as he begged for a more civilized evening.

“We had quite enough drama on the tele last night, so can you please you four be on your best behaviour tonight,” he began to Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, KSI and Simon Cowell.

Ant then joked: “If you misbehave, you’ll be out of here quicker that Sinitta”.

Amanda then praised Ant and Dec’s navigation of the row last night as she assured that she was ready for some semi-final action.

She laughed: “After watching you two last night, I’ve learned from the best. I can handle the pressure of a semi-final.”

Following the I’m A Celeb…South Africa! final, Ant came face-to-face with Jimmy outside after they had clashed on camera.

Ant appeared keen to make a swift exit from the TV studio after the busy evening, as he was pictured leaving alongside wife Anne-Marie shortly after.

In the snaps, Jimmy appears to be attempting to get the presenter’s attention, before a security guard stepped in.

Ant then turned to listen to what the former footy star was saying, before carrying on making his way to his car.

Tonight’s Britain’s Got Talent semi-final is the first of five live shows, ahead of the show’s grand finale on 30 May.
