During his time in the castle, AJ had an infamous run-in with former EastEnders star Shane Richie.
AJ accused Shane of doing a sloppy job with the washing up and had a last swipe at him after leaving the castle, saying "I was doing a lot more".

Curtis then asked pointedly: "So has Shane been lazy then?"
Debi replied: "It’s just when you go into chill-out mode and Shane’s in his chill-out mode.

"Not quite doing the jobs he should be doing because they had been chosen by the camp ruler to do certain jobs, but one day AJ chose to wash the pots to help because I think Shane was doing a trial.
"Shane had cleaned the pots and it was fine, he did a normal cleaning job of the pots. Then AJ did the pots, AJ scrubbed the pots to an inch of their lives, until they were so clean and shiny."
