I’m A Celeb fans again expressed their anger at the way Iain Lee was treated by some of his campmates.
Viewers have already accused former footballer Dennis Wise of bullying the radio presenter during Wednesday night’s show, and similar comments were made about Amir Khan during the early minutes of Thursday’s show.
The boxer told Iain that his late arrival in camp had “f**ked things up” for the other contestants.
“On a serious note, when you came in you did f**k a lot of things up,” Khan said.
“Thanks Amir,” Iain replied.
“Remember you came in and you bossed us all around? You split the camp up,” he continued.
“Your attitude as well, you killed us, do this, do that”.
When Dennis explained that it was just a joke, Iain replied: “Yeah, I know, I’m not finding it very funny.”
“I think you could win it,” Amir added. “You know – when a guy goes from bad to good.”
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Iain later admitted that the comments had made him feel uncomfortable.
Viewers were unimpressed by what they’d seen, criticising Amir and Dennis – along with Jamie Lomas – for their behaviour towards Iain.
Like @iainlee or not, @amirkingkhan @jamielomas1 and @denniswise are straight up bullying. I guess Denis really is a very small man… #imaceleb #iainlee #iain pic.twitter.com/IDpp9w0CVZ

What a vile individual Amir Khan has shown himself to be #ImACeleb2017

Disgusting behaviour from Amir Khan & Dennis Wise.
I wanted Khan to win but now I definitely want Iain to win. #ImACeleb— Tabrejali Adam🇵🇸 (@TabrejaliAdam) December 7, 2017
So, if Iain fails, Dennis goes mental. If Iain succeeds it’s because he has a “game plan”. The alpha males are looking like total wankers !! #ImACelebrity #AmirKhan is a snake

I’m a big fan of Dennis Wise – always have been. But watching him and Amir Khan essentially bullying Iain Lee in the jungle is SO uncomfortable to watch. Both of them doing themselves no favours #TeamIain

I think men on @imacelebrity need to stop acting like 10 year old bullies. Iain acts with dignity and respect, him or Toff for the crown. #bullying #AmirKhan #asshole

Many of those were delighted for Iain when it was later shown that he’d succeeded in his Bush Tucker trial…
