According to reports, the veteran radio broadcaster has made several remarks alluding to Ant McPartlin’s past which includes a car crash and a battle with alcoholism.

TV bosses are said to be frustrated at the amount of footage they are having to sift through before airing the ITV programme.

While reports suggest the comments were made as jokes with fellow campmates, they are said to be “causing headaches”.

Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “Everyone knows Chris’ humour can be a bit close to the mark and it’s been no different in camp.

“But there have been some p***take remarks to Ant that have become a problem, like when Ant and Dec pulled up in the speedboat in the first episode, Chris joked he was surprised they let Ant in anything so fast because he’s known to crash stuff.”

The source went on to add that there had been a big bottle on the set and Chris had commented that it was similar in size to the bottles of vodka that Ant may have at home.

“Chris is friends with the lads and it’s coming from a place of banter but that obviously doesn’t help in the edit,” the source told The Sun.

In 2018, Ant was banned from driving for 20 months and fined £86,000 after pleading guilty to drink-driving. The presenter was double the legal alcohol limit at the time of his arrest after a car crash.

He had been returning home from a dog walk with his mum Christine when he veered into the wrong lane, crashed into a family sitting in a Mini, then hit a BMW.

Since then, Ant has been sober.
