The trial featured Martin, 64, at a reception reading clues to Tom, who then searched through cages filled with critters to locate the correct book.
At first, Tom seemed to be moving quite slowly, prompting Martin to encourage him to speed up at the start. Now, fans believe they have identified the reason behind his pace.
Commenting on social media, one user said, “He’s slow, but I think it genuinely comes from his desire to ensure he doesn’t harm the animals in the process, which I absolutely love.”
Another remarked, “Tom is so kind to animals. What a great guy.”
Someone else added, “It’s adorable how kind Tom is to every snake he encounters, even though I think he’s genuinely scared of them, lol.”
A fourth user stated, “He’s so compassionate towards everything.”
However, fans expressed their dissatisfaction with Ant and Dec, both 49.
One of the clues involved a jungle and a book, clearly referring to the 1984 classic by Rudyard Kipling.
Yet, Martin was convinced the first image depicted a desert island until Dec drew his attention and gestured around them.
Ant then commented, “You’re living in one!”
After this led them to correctly guess the answer and find the book, fans took to social media to voice their complaints.
One user wrote, “Why are Ant and Dec giving them clues? What’s the point?”
Another said, “Dec practically handed them that answer.”
Someone else remarked, “Ant & Dec assist the celebs too much. Part of the show’s appeal is seeing the celebs struggle and fail to earn stars.”
