A host of ITV's This Morning has left Scots puzzled after she labelled the country too "dark" to host I'm A Celebrity.
It was confirmed by the network that the 20th series of the hit show I'm Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! will be filmed in the UK.
It was reported last month that the show could be filmed in the Scottish Highlands, however ITV have yet to confirm if this will be the case.
But Rochelle Humes, who was hosting This Morning alongside Dermot O'Leary today said doubted Scotland would play host to the celebrities this year.

She said: "I wonder where it could be? I doubt Scotland because it's quite dark.
"Maybe Cornwall? I mean, Cornwall would be fabulous wouldn't it? Because they will still have the beach."
Fans took to Twitter to express their confusion over the comment.
One person wrote: "It's ok we've had that new-fangled electricity thing installed in Scotland."

Did @RochelleHumes just say @imacelebrity won't be broadcast from Scotland because its too dark but might be from Cornwall?

Does it not get dark in Cornwall? @thismorning
Another quipped: "Yes, it's well known that when it's dark in Scotland it's light in the rest of the UK..."
Where do you think the new season of the show should be held?
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
