I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly have been embroiled in a Twitter row with Piers Morgan.

The pair, from the North East, have issued a savage swipe at controversial Good Morning Britain presenter Piers.

Piers, an Arsenal fan renowned for his controversial opinions, Twitter spats and GMB rows, was left unhappy after the pair's jibe.

Dec has been joined by Ant on the ITV1 reality show, which kicked off on Sunday November 17, after Holly Willoughby stepped in last year.

Dec told I'm A Celeb fans that Piers’ co-presenter Kate Garraway would be facing a “huge challenge”.

Then he joked:  “But before she goes back to work with Piers Morgan, she’s got three weeks in the jungle!”

Piers subsequently hit back on social media, writing: "At least I have my own Twitter account & don't have to share one with my mate."

Ant and Dec, branding him a "snowflake", then issued a fantastic response, tweeting: "Oh yeah? Well our dads are bigger than your dad. Grow up you big wally!"

The pair were hailed by social media users for "scorching" Piers, with one writing: "This is brilliant."

I'm A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
