Ant and Dec recreate Byker Grove scene in I’m A Celeb skit
Viewers in on the joke 25 years later offered their appreciation on Twitter.
Ant and Dec sparked a wave of Byker Grove nostalgia on Tuesday night’s I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
Viewers saw the presenters quote their former characters, PJ and Duncan, on the ITV show during a skit about Ant’s body odour.
As he lifted his arm during a segment on the camper’s body odour, Dec threw his hand over his face and shouted “I’m blind” in reference to a much-loved Byker Grove scene.
The original sees Ant, who played PJ, injured when shot in the eyes during paintball and Duncan (Dec) runs to help shouting “He cannae see man”.

The scene provided a dramatic climax to the 1992 series of the show and is often parodied on Sky Sports show Soccer AM.
