Ant and Dec asked for a do over after Dec's buttons burst open at the start of the latest instalment of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The presenters were walking into Gwrych Castle to start Friday's instalment of the ITV show when Dec suffered the wardrobe malfunction.

"Hello, good evening! Oh I just popped open my buttons!" he shouted, patting at his chest in a panic.

Ant was so wrong-footed by the situation that he stumbled and whacked into a candle with his arm.

"Oh no, I knocked a candle off!" he exclaimed, as crew members could be heard laughing.

Dec then asked if they could just start over, even though they were live.

"We are not live are we?" Ant quipped. "Are we live?"

The TV stars then jogged back to the entrance and stepped outside the door to start again, with Ant urging viewers: "Pretend it didn't happen."

"Take two," Dec announced, before the pair came back through the door and started again.

Viewers thought the incident was absolutely hilarious and praised the presenters for handling the live TV snafu so well.

One person posted a message on Twitter saying that Ant and Dec had made her day.

"What a great entrance - Dec pops a button and Ant nearly caught fire," tweeted another.
