I’M A Celeb fans were baffled as Mo Farah struggled to find Wales on the map during a challenge on last night’s show.
The Olympian, 37, and Giovanni Fletcher, 35, joined forces to try and get as many gold stars for the rest of camp.
During the Castle Coin Challenge Mo had to describe the countries that had shields on them to Giovanni so that she could go and finding the matching shield.
Unfortunately Mo’s geography knowledge isn’t as great as his skills on the running track as he managed to confuse Wales for Scotland and Ireland.
He admitted to the camera: “I was struggling to find Wales on the map.”
Many viewers couldn’t believe his confession considering he’s currently in Wales for the ITV show.
One wrote: “People’s geography knowledge not being great is fine. But how did Mo confuse Ireland for Wales? He is IN Wales. Did he not notice he hadn’t crossed an ocean to get there? #ImACeleb.”
Another said: “#ImACeleb Oh no Mo, Your absolute Legend status is going down in my books with this Geography knowledge.”
A third chimed in: “I’m going to say geography isn’t Mo’s strong point #ImACeleb.”
A fourth tweeted: “how does mo think he got to wales? drive through water? no my doll that’s ireland xxxx #ImACeleb.”
When Wales is mistaken for being Scotland and then Ireland. Mo Farah’s Geography on point

Although many others came to his defence.
One wrote: He’s a lovely bloke is Mo. He’s an athlete not a geography teacher. He had a problem with identifying Portugal from Spain so what?”
Another said: “#imacelebritymo is just so pure tho like yah his geography is shocking but hes just so cute I cant.”
Despite Mo’s shocking geography skills, the pair managed to win the challenge and went on to ask Kiosk Cledwyn for some chocolate eclairs.
However they were left empty handed when their camp mates picked the wrong answer to the question.
But Mo’s hilarious attempt at trying to find Wales on the map wasn’t the only thing that got fans of the show in a bit of a pickle last night.
Viewers were left stunned after Corrie’s Beverley Callard and jornalist Victoria Derbyshire were eliminated in a double eviction.
The pair became the third and fourth celebs to be axed from the castle, following Ruthie Henshall and Hollie Arnold.
Now there are just eight celebrities remaining who are in with the chance of being crowned king or queen of the jungle.
Opera singer Russell Watson, telly presenter Vernon Kay, Radio 1’s Jordan North and Olympic legend Mo Farah are still fighting out for the top spot.
Author Giovanni Fletcher, Strictly’s AJ Pritchard, EastEnders actor Shane Ritchie and soap star Jessica Plummer are still in the competition too.
