But his McFly bandmate Dougie Poynter, who won the show in 2011, chimed in to say "Oh you get in trouble for that", leaving Tom looking horrified and asking "Oh, no. do you?

WOODN'T BELIEVE IT
Ant McPartlin and Declan Connelly obviously could not have been happier to be back hosting I'm A Celeb.
The long-time pals joked about contestants having to chop up their own firewood to keep warm for the hit show – when Ant crossed over into the risque.
Dec told viewers: “We've had a lot of cold weather, it's been very wet and rainy so I think it's going to be very difficult to get wood.”
Ant quickly shot back: “Speak for yourself!”
Fans loved the banter between the pair, with one tweeting: “I’ve missed Ant and Dec’s jokes so much.”

AJ PRITCHARD STUNS FANS WITH BATH SCENE
I'm a Celebrity's new shower has been christened by AJ Pritchard – and he got completely naked for it, stunning fans.
The Strictly star bravely stripped off for the first go in the castle's version of the jungle's waterfall.
Set in a dingy room in the castle, an ancient bathtub stands with a grimy shower curtain.
Next to it is a handpump where the celebrities will need someone else to lend a hand so they can have – cold – water in their shower.
In last night's launch episode AJ bravely opted to go first and showed off his dance-honed body in the process.

CASTLE HAUNTED BY SERVANT?
Some locals believe that the spirit of a servant girl who died falling off a horse haunts the land of Gwrych Castle, where I'm a Celeb is being filmed in Wales.
Others have claimed that ghosts of former caretakers have been seen around the 200-year-old castle, which boasts 250 acres.
Paranormal investigator Gemma Williams told the Daily Mail that she was “chased by a glowing woman wearing a red dress” when she stayed overnight there.
She said: “My friends and I stood there in absolute shock looking at her.”
The ghost of the Countess of Dundonald, below, is also said to haunt the grounds.

HISTORY OF GWRYCH CASTLE
Gwrych Castle was built in Wales between 1810 and 1825 by Lloyd Hesketh Bamford-Hesketh.
The castle played an important role in World War II, as the Government used it to house 200 Jewish refugees.
It also served as the training grounds for English World Middleweight boxing champion Randolph Turpin in the early 1950s.
The 10 I'm a Celeb campmates – including Sir Mo Farah, Beverley Callard and Vernon Kay – will eat, sleep, wash and compete in the 'haunted' castle.
Ant and Dec opened the show from inside the grounds on Sunday night, where they stood behind an old wooden table covered with golden goblets, and flanked by two suits of armour.

KEEP THEM OUT OF THERE!
I'm a Celebrity hired 40 security guards and roads surrounding Gwrych Castle were closed ahead of Sunday's show's launch.
A legion of former special forces troops were deployed in Abergele, North Wales, to stop intruders snooping at the Welsh castle.
Guards with night-vision goggles watched from places in the forest surrounding Gwrych Castle to spot nosey locals.
Meanwhile, paths that lead to the 4,000-acre estate were blocked to stop local ramblers stumbling onto the million-pound set.
