I’m A Celebrity viewers blast “bullies” in the camp for latest behaviour

Fans are fed up with snide comments

| Updated:

From series to series, the I’m A Celebrity housemates usually get on like a house on fire.

Well, you need all the support you can get when you’re spending three weeks existing on a diet of rice, beans and the odd sheep’s bum.

However, this year things seem a little bit different as three campmates have been once again blasted on social media for comments about another contestant.

Iain Lee isn’t doing terrifically well in the jungle if truth be told, having fluffed his lines on a couple of challenges – including being responsible for Jamie Lomas not receiving a message from home in last night’s show.

But the way he’s being treated by some of his fellow campmates isn’t going down well with many of the show’s viewers.

Tonight, Dennis Wise triumphed in the “Temple of Gloom” challenge, bringing back a whole 8 stars for the camp.

It was an unusual challenge, as it had actually been seen before – last week, when Iain was unable to get past the first hurdle of the trial, and came back to camp empty handed.

And before Dennis set off, Iain warned him that the water was around three metres deep. However, Dennis judged it to be far shallower – therefore less dangerous – than Iain had made out.

After the trial, Dennis and Jamie angered viewers when they were talking about it behind Iain’s back.

Dennis admitted he thought the watery challenge was only around one and a half metres deep, to which a scornful Jamie said: “So it wasn’t three metres.”

“No, definitely not,” replied Dennis – with Amir also giving Iain some stick in a Bush Telegraph, saying he wasn’t sure what he was good at.

And Dec later revealed the pool was exactly 2.97m deep, making Iain right anyway, for posterity’s sake.

Viewers weren’t happy with the comments, branding Jamie and Dennis “horrible” and “bullies,” with one viewer accusing Amir of trying to turn people against Iain.
