Ant and Dec have slammed Jane Moore for her ‘unfair’ attack on ‘sexist’ duo Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones.

Jane hit out at being given washing up duties by new camp leaders Danny and Barry on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, claiming the decision was ageist and sexist, reports the Mirror.

It sparked a reaction from Ant and Dec as they reflected on the tensions after the show. on their Instagram Live. Ant said: “I think she is being a bit unfair by saying it’s sexist and ageist. I think they were just trying to do a good job in allocating fairly, if I’m honest."

Dec replied: “Yes, I agree. I feel for Barry, he was only trying to do his best.” Ant added: “Poor little Barry.”

Ant earlier said that it was "good to have a little bit of tetchiness in there." He added: "I am not surprised as it’s always about the chores. It’s always around the leader and who they give the chores to. It’s either that or the cooking."

The Loose Women host, 62, was given the task of washing up along with Tulisa. Earlier Danny and Barry were seen deliberating as which campmates got which job.

Danny said: “Shall we talk chefs first, obviously me and Melvin can't do that,” to which Barry then added: 'Wood duty needs to be somebody who's strong and has good stamina.”

Danny suggested Jane on washing up, saying: “I think we have to put Jane on washing up but the only thing I want to say is have we gone a bit male heavy on the strenuous jobs?'. But Barry replied: “I think that's a fair comment but I don't think they'd thank us after a few days.”

After then announcing Jane and Tulisa to the group as being tasked with washing-up, Jane called: “Oh what? Is that because we're women?”

Barry said that since Jane was 62 and a year younger than him, she might want something less strenuous but Jane hit back “so ageist and sexist.” Oti Mabuse later said: “You could cut the tension with a knife."

Later Jane complained to Danny: “Those were my last words as you walked past me, "please not cleaning", and you've given me cleaning.” She added: “I'm not upset, I'm just saying it's women doing the washing up again.'

As well as Ant and Dec, her comments have sparked a strong reaction on social media with many saying her attack was unjustified. Barry and Danny were later spotted looking crestfallen.

Earlier in the show Coleen Rooney branded Donald Trump a "dirty b***ard"

The 38-year-old recalled meeting the US president-elect with her former England captain husband Wayne when their family was living in the US during Sunday's episode.

Discussing her encounter, she told her fellow campmates: "When we lived in America, we got invited to the White House for Christmas and we went in to meet Donald Trump.

"And so we walked in and we had to get the official photograph taken in front of the Christmas tree.

"So Donald Trump said to his son 'See? Told you, all the soccer players get the good-looking girls'. And I told my mum, I was like 'dirty b***ard'."
