I'm A Celeb viewers left giggling over David Ginola's 'filthy' remarks

‘They’re like naughty grandparents!’ I’m A Celeb viewers left giggling over David Ginola’s ‘filthy’ remarks to Arlene Phillips as footballer becomes joint favourite to WIN the series

The Newcastle legend was paired with the ex-Strictly judge during the series opener, to compete against diver Matty Lee and Paralympian Kadeena Cox.

And, I’m A Celebrity viewers were left giggling over David Ginola’s ‘filthy’ remarks to Dame Arlene Phillips, 78, during their first trial, which aired on Sunday evening.

The footballer, 54, has become an instant hit with fans of the show, and is now joint favourite to be crowned King of The Castle, with Frankie Bridge also having the same 4-1 odds to win the series. 

Legend! I’m A Celebrity viewers were left giggling over David Ginola’s ‘filthy’ remarks during his first trial, which aired on Sunday evening

While lying on the floor and rummaging around beneath the ground, Arlene explained: ‘I can’t find a hole… listen that’s the tool banging on your wall.

‘Okay so there must be a hole in the wall,’ mused David, to which Arlene responded: ‘I know but I can’t find a hole… Arghhh now I’ve dropped the b***dy tool!’

After struggling for a moment, she told him: ‘I’ve found the hole, hang on, I’ve lost it again!’

‘I’ve got my finger in the hole!’ announced David, leaving both he and Arlene in stitches, much to the amusement of viewers.

Finger in the hole! While lying on the floor and rummaging around beneath the ground, Arlene explained: ‘I can’t find a hole’ to which David told her: ‘I’ve got my finger in the hole!’

Come on Arlene! Ginola then broke into song, belting out: ‘Come on Arlene’ to the tune of Dexys Midnight Runners’ hit track Come on Eileen

‘I can’t find that hole. I touched it a minute ago!’ raged the infuriated Strictly star, leaving Ginola to encourage her by saying: ‘Come on!’

He then broke into song, belting out: ‘Come on Arlene’ to the tune of Dexys Midnight Runners’ hit track Come on Eileen.  

Following the series opener, David rose to joint 4-1 favourite to win I’m A Celebrity, with William Hill giving him the same odds as Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge.

The former footballer started the evening on 11-2 and is now priced at 4-1, with fans on social media quick to heap praise on the Frenchman.

Another person tweeted: ”I’ve got my finger in the hole’ Line of the night, David’ while someone else laughed: ‘Ginola has his finger in a hole.’

‘So David has his finger in Arlene’s hole ‘Oh Matron’ #imaceleb,’ wrote one viewer with another tweeting: ‘David Ginola is so funny. ‘I have my finger in the Hole’.’

One fan of the show asserted: ‘The David Ginola and Arlene Phillips filth is already giving me life.’
