It involved Martin, 64, on reception reading out clues to Tom – who would then hunt through cages filled with critters to find the correct book.
Initially Tom appeared to be going very slow – with Martin encouraging him to hurry up at the beginning – and now fans think they’ve worked out the reason.
Writing on social media, one said: “He’s slow but I think it genuinely comes from wanting to ensure he doesn’t hurt the animals in the process which I luvvvvv.”
Another commented: “Tom is so kind to animals. Such a good guy.”

Someone else wrote: “Tom being so kind to every snake he comes across despite the fact I think he’s genuinely scared of them is so cute lol.”
And a fourth added: “He’s so kind to everything.”
But something fans weren’t happy about was Ant and Dec, both 49, helping Martin and Tom when they got stuck.
One of the clues was a jungle and a book – of course meaning the 1984 classic by Rudyard Kipling.

But Martin was convinced the first image was a desert island, until Dec caught his attention and gestured around them.
Ant then said: “You’re living in one!”
After it led to them correctly guessing the answer and finding the book, fans took to social media to complain.
One wrote: “Why are Ant and Dec giving them clues? What’s the point?”
Another said: “Dec just gave them that answer.”
And someone else wrote: “Ant & Dec help the celebs too much. Part of the show is the celebs suffering and not getting stars.”
