A big belated happy birthday to Ant McPartlin! The I'm a Celebrity host celebrated his 44th birthday in the jungle on Sunday and boy did his team lay on a spread. Ant was treated to not one but three incredible cakes for his big day, each spelling a letter in his name. The almighty cakes featured two layers of chocolate sponge and were each packed with a thick cream filling. As if that's not enough, they were decorated with some of Ant's favourite treats including M&Ms, Toblerone and peanuts.
Taking to Ant and Dec's Instagram to share a picture of the decadent surprise, the presenter wrote: "Big thanks to everyone at IAC for my amazing birthday cake! A." And it looks as though the jungle headquarters were filled with plenty of decorations for the occasion, featuring brightly coloured balloons and birthday banners around the room.
