Declan Donnelly's Lodge Invaded by Bush Baby in South Africa
Declan Donnelly's Lodge Invaded by Bush Baby in South Africa

Declan Donnelly, one half of the Ant & Dec duo, was left stunned after discovering a bush baby had invaded his lodge while filming I'm A Celebrity South Africa. The pair are currently presenting the ITV show, which features 12 celebrities competing for victory.

On their podcast Hanging Out with Ant & Dec, Anthony McPartlin asked Donnelly about the incident. Donnelly explained that he returned to his lodge to find an orange half-peeled and urine on the worktop. A crew member informed him that bush babies, nocturnal primates, live in the thatched roof and come down to eat fruit and leave droppings.

This is not the first time the duo have shared behind-the-scenes stories. Earlier this year, they recalled meeting King Charles when he was Prince of Wales. Donnelly admitted he was distracted during their tea at Highgrove House, worrying about who would pour the tea.
