AJ and Shane previously got into a tiff over the actor's efforts at washing up.
During his post-eviction interview with hosts Ant and Dec, the dancer tried to explain why he struggled more than others.
AJ said: "Probably because I'm getting all the wood, the water... I was doing a lot more."
Commenting on Shane's dirty pans, he added: "Oh my God that took all the day and I didn't even get through them all."
His remarks didn't go unnoticed by Shane's son, who was quick to defend his famous dad on Twitter.
Ahead of AJ's eviction, Shane Jr revealed that he was bugged by the professional dancer - and didn't know why.
The 31-year-old tweeted: "I can’t help it, AJ winds me up. He does. I don’t really know why either #ImACeleb."
He later added: "Can I just say I don’t agree with some of the comments said about AJ tonight, I’m not actually that bothered. He seems sound but just not my cup of tea and I’m sure he wud feel the same. Now move on folks."
Shane Jr also insisted he wasn't "a**ed" after AJ's younger brother called his dad "lazy".
Speaking on his , Curtis previously fumed: ";If you’re going to do a job do it properly."
The former Love Island star added: "So I’m going to just say it then, Shane has been lazy basically. He ain’t pulling his weight around and ain’t doing his chores."
Shane Jr has been busy supporting his dad throughout his time on the ITV reality series.
