Ant McPartlin, 49, condemned over ‘inappropriate’ virginity jibes to female I’m A Celeb producers
As a lifestyle expert with over three decades of personal and professional experience, I find Ant McPartlin‘s behavior during the Instagram show Jungle Club deeply concerning. In my career, I’ve always strived to promote inclusivity, respect, and professionalism, especially when it comes to the workplace.
During an online post-show event, Ant McPartlin made some humorous but questionable comments regarding the female producers on I’m A Celebrity reportedly losing their virginity. This information was disclosed by The Mail on Sunday.
49-year-old McPartlin, co-host of the Instagram show alongside his partner Declan Donnelly, frequently comments on the women’s appearances, inquires about their dating status, and uses terms like ‘fit’. He also makes lewd jokes about sausages and cake toppings in relation to them.
As a conscientious advocate for a balanced society, I find myself expressing my disapproval towards recent actions that seem to undermine the respect and dignity of women. It’s essential for individuals in positions of influence, like myself, to lead by example, fostering an environment where everyone feels valued and respected.
On the private Instagram channel Jungle Club, a pair from Geordieland engage in informal discussions about tonight’s I’m A Celebrity show without adhering to a pre-written script. Over the course of 12 episodes, Ant McPartlin has pointed out the young producers, both aged 40 and 24, commenting on their physical attributes or personal relationships.
About two weeks back, McPartlin attempted a bit on-screen by stating: “She’s quite attractive, indeed, but she prefers to stay off the camera.
On Wednesday evening, the previous host of Britain’s Got Talent commented about the same producer, named Kat: “She appears to be in great shape. She’s healthy and doing well. She’s in good condition.
Previously, he playfully implied that Lola had the ability to both offer and receive, to which he later acknowledged with a suggestive grin, “Oh dear, I do believe I was being a bit mischievous.
Discussions about the sexual lives of women have taken on a humorous, recurring theme due to McPartlin noticing that they both sported thumb rings.
He asked: “Do you normally wear a ring on your thumb if you’re single? You take it off once you start dating a guy. If you’re interested in courting Lola, please share some photos of yourself.
Later in the conversation, he called them “purity rings” and stated on last Wednesday, “Lola…Your thumb rings have disappeared – your purity ring has disappeared too. So, what’s happening there? Are you enjoying yourself, right?
Instead of saying “His long-time co-host Donnelly, 49, cut in and said: ‘Let’s leave that. We’re getting into murky waters,'” you could also say: “Donnelly, his long-term partner, interjected and remarked: ‘Let’s move on. We’re treading in unclear waters.'” Both sentences convey the same meaning but with a slightly different tone and word choice.
In last Thursday’s broadcast, all the female production team members displayed their thumbs, to which McPartlin remarked: “Check out these thumbs and thumb rings. They’re all unattached and have never been in a relationship.
In another installment of the show, not airing on ITV, the hosts were seen passing sausages to each other. McPartlin spoke off-camera to one of the female hosts and asked: “Lola, would you like…” He then turned to his co-host and questioned: “Not appropriate?” Dec concurred and cautioned: “HR is coming soon.” To which McPartlin humorously responded: “Here we go again!
At one point when McPartland had cupcake frosting on his hand, he asked Lola, “Would you fancy giving that a lick? She enjoys sprinkles. Do you like sprinkles: yes or no?” After Ms Brown joined the shot and signaled her approval, the father-of-one said, “See, I told you she likes sprinkles, I’ll keep it for you till later.
Ms. Duffield, a member of the women and equalities committee, stated that sexual harassment is simply unacceptable. She emphasized that the imbalance of power often allows influential figures, such as wealthy celebrities, to exploit those who are less powerful or unable to defend themselves.
In the past, it might have been considered playful banter, but there’s no need to belittle, threaten, or sexually objectify someone nowadays.
Patsy Stevenson, an advocate for women’s rights, stated: ‘These comments reveal a careless attitude towards sexism that undermines women in the professional world. The references to “tasting toppings” and requesting photos of potential partners are especially disrespectful and border on harassment. As someone in Ant’s position, there is an obligation to set a positive example.’
A representative for McPartlin stated: “The team behind Jungle Club has been collaborating for quite some time.
A significant portion of the comedy show often emphasizes the humorous bond and professional camaraderie between Ant and Dec, as well as their rapport with the program’s team.
