I’m A Celebrity star Shane Richie’s son hits out at AJ Pritchard fans for ‘giving him s***’ as feud rumbles on

SHANE Richie's son has hit out at AJ Pritchard fans for "giving him s**t" as the I'm A Celeb stars' family feud rumbles on.

Shane Jnr. and AJ's brother Curtis have both spoken out against their relative's former campmate after tension was spotted between them in the castle.

Shane, 28, previously called the 26-year-old professional dancer a "little bitch" before adding that he "winds me up", while Curtis said that Shane had been "lazy" in camp and not "pulling his weight".

Taking to his Twitter page during tonight's episode of the ITV show, Shane Jnr. shared a string of crying-with-laughter emojis as he revealed he is now being targeted by members of Team Pritchard.

He wrote: "AJ fans giving me shit 😂😂😂😂 now that’s hilarious."

One follower replied: "Bruh its not even about being ‘AJ's fan’ it’s about you being horrible and jealous.

"More people backed AJ over your dad and you can’t handle that. Honestly just grow up mate your dad didn’t even win lol".

Shane brushed the remark off as he retweeted it and insisted: "I mean they clearly didn’t 😂😂😂"

During yesterday's show, he'd written: "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 would feel the same. Now move on folks."

AJ was eliminated from the competition alongside Mo Farah last night, and had referenced his and Shane's clashes in his exit interview.

The pair seemed strained after AJ took over Shane's camp chores because he wasn't doing them well enough, with AJ telling hosts Ant and Dec that he was more tired than other campmates because he was "getting all the wood, the water", adding: "I was doing a lot more."

Commenting on Shane's dirty pans, he continued: "Oh my God that took all the day and I didn't even get through them all."

Speaking on his family's podcast, Curtis previously backed his brother as he fumed: "If you’re going to do a job do it properly.

"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."

And when the clash over the washing up first aired, Shane Jnr. had seethed: "I don’t normally bite, but when it’s unjust and you’re seeing people slate your dad for something he ain’t really done wrong…

"AJ was a little bitch when he was talking about him: 'Look how clean I’ve done them,’ oh f**k off.

"Got a dishwasher mate, back off."

Shane narrowly missed out on a spot in tomorrow night's I'm A Celeb final when he was booted out of the show tonight after receiving the fewest viewer votes.

Giovanna Fletcher, Vernon Kay, and Jordan North will now battle it out to be crowned the King or Queen of the castle.
