Saturday Night Takeaway: Anthony Joshua has CHEESE grated on his chiselled abs by delighted chef in hilarious I’m A Celebrity… Get Out Of Me Ear stint

Anthony Joshua left viewers in stitches when he had cheese grated on his abs during his appearance on Saturday Night Takeaway.

The boxer, 30, was pretending to be on the lookout for a new personal chef and interviews several cooks during the Ant and Dec’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Out Of Me Ear challenge on Saturday’s episode.

Wearing an ear piece and being instructed with what to say by Ant and Dec, Anthony was told to ask one chef to use a block of Cheddar cheese on his toned torso.

Anthony was goaded on by Dec to tell chef Yvette: ‘You know what somebody said to me the other day? That cheese could be grated on my abs.’

When he asked Yvette if they ‘should try it’, she burst out laughing but then happily obliged as the heavyweight champion lifted up his shirt to show his rippling torso.

He told Yvette to ‘really go for it’ after her first attempt, and Ant and Dec shouted ‘she did it’ in delight after she successfully grated some of the cheese.

Earlier on, during his interview with Yvette, Ant and Dec tell Anthony to say: ‘So your name is Yvette, but you’re not a vet?’

With Anthony following the instructions, the interviewee awkwardly responds ‘no’, he then adds (after further guidance): ‘That’s a shame, because I’m a dog. Woof, woof, woof!’ 

While later in the clip, the professional boxer meets a megafan chef who comes to the interview wearing an Anthony Joshua T-shirt.
