Ant & Dec are known for being a couple of cheeky chappies, cheeky but never nasty. However some I'm A Celeb viewers took to twitter last night and today to slam the pair for their Stephen Hawking sketch where they discussed Scarlett's 'time travel theory'. The lads laughed at the idea of Stephen Hawking having a Hotmail account, and then pretended to phone the professor from the jungle.
@RissPorter @ITV @antanddec Stephen Hawking joke that really wasn't funny

Scarlett's theory was: ‘In order to travel back in time we have to go faster than the speed of light. The speed of light is like 319 and then loads of numbers, it’s exactly the same latitude point as the tip of the great Pyramid.
‘So I think the pyramids are from the future, I think someone from the future realised we would need them and went back in time and built them.’
What do you think? No big fuss? Or was it offensive??
