TV presenters Ant and Dec caused controversy today with a foul-mouthed conversation live on air. Viewers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! complained to TV watchdogs about their outburst.

Complaints: Hosts Ant and Dec on the show

After contestant Nicola McLean completed a Bushtucker Trial in which she ate a kangaroo testicle, Ant described the task as "the dog's b*****ks". Dec replied: "No, it's the kangaroo's b*****ks," before Ant retorted: "And the crocodile's b*****ks and his penis."

Their exchange came almost half an hour after the 9pm watershed, but an Ofcom spokesman said: "We have received complaints about the broadcast on Monday. These are being assessed against our Broadcasting Code."

ITV director of channels Peter Fincham defended the swearing, saying: "I was watching it and I was not offended."

Meanwhile, contestant Dani Behr fears she may be pregnant after vomiting for two days and feeling faint. Dani, 34, married with two children, told fellow campers: "I feel bad. I hope it isn't morning sickness."

Producers will send a pregnancy test into the camp to find out if she is expecting and, if she is, may pull her from the show to avoid putting Dani or the baby at risk.
