The host is said to have taken on the burly security in order to be able to walk around ‘without being bothered’ (Ant’s new security guard pictured with Beyonc\u00e9 Knowles)<\/p>\n
MailOnline have contacted Ant’s reps for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It comes after\u00a0Ant\u00a0was left in stitches after he played a prank on Dec\u00a0behind the scenes of I’m A Celebrity.<\/p>\n
The Geordie duo were enjoying a break at the set of their ITV1 jungle reality show with a portion of chips when Ant took the opportunity to make a word play joke.<\/p>\n
The TV star took a single chip from his box placed it on Dec’s shoulder when his back was turned as if to say he has a chip on his shoulder.<\/p>\n
Ant then asked his co-presenter whether he was feeling okay, in a nod to the famous idiom used when someone is feeling angry or resentful.<\/p>\n
Completely unaware, Dec answered: ‘I was just checking my phone.’<\/p>\n
Ant pushed again, prompting to Dec to wonder if he came across as looking as unhappy.<\/p>\n
Ant said: ‘You’ve got a chip on your shoulder.’<\/p>\n

With a source saying: ‘Ant is clearly a man of taste as he’s hired the same bloke who looks after big stars like Beyonce and Rita Ora (pictured)\u00a0 to keep an eye on him’<\/p>\n
Dec replied: ‘No, no, I’m all right. Do I come across to you like I’m happy.’<\/p>\n
Trying with the joke again, Ant replied: ‘No, I’m not saying that you seem like you’ve got a chip on your shoulder.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eventually, Dec started to smell a rat and removed his glasses before looking around in suspicion.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘I don’t trust you!’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dec did not appear to get the joke before the video cut off, but Ant gave an update in the caption of the video.<\/p>\n
He joked: ‘Can confirm it\u2019s now been removed and he\u2019s a lot more chipper!’<\/p>\n
Fans were left in hysterics at the prank, with fellow comedian Paddy McGuiness\u00a0labelling the joke as: ‘Belter!’\u00a0<\/p>\n
A fan replied to the former Take Me Out star: ‘paddy u should do jungle next year paddy’ (sic)\u00a0<\/p>\n
