I’m a Celebrity’s Larry Lamb accused of ‘bullying’ Martin Roberts after he berates him for ‘stealing his limelight’
Poor Martin, he is prone to being excitable...
THE I’m a Celebrity camp was thrown into drama even before most of them had woken up in Thursday night’s episode, when Larry Lamb told Martin Roberts off.
However viewers have blasted the 69-year-old actor for “bullying” the presenter.
Talking in the Bush Telegraph, Larry said: “Something had been bubbling up in my mind overnight and by this morning I thought I’ve got to say something to Martin about this.”
Larry called Martin over and explained he felt Martin took the limelight upon their return to camp from the dingo dollar challenge yesterday.
“You really upset me yesterday you know, when we came back with the prize (scones) and you then presented the whole thing to the campmates as if it was a one man show” said Larry.
“I didn’t meant to upset you” said Martin. “It did, it really did because I thought that we did it together” said Larry.
“I genuinely said I’m very sorry if unbeknown to me I did something that caused offence. I wasn’t aware I had, I was just so excited by what we got” said Martin in the Bush Telegraph.
Martin apologised to Larry who accepted Martin’s apology.
Talking in the Bush Telegraph, Martin later said “For whatever reason and I don’t know why, I don’t think Larry really likes me. I don’t want my last few days to be clouded by some stupid argument with somebody who perhaps in the future I will never see again and he doesn’t ever have to see me again”.
However, viewers felt that Martin, 53, had been treated unfairly by the actor.
“Is it just me or does Larry just bully Martin?? #ImACeleb”, asked one viewer.
While others felt like Larry was going out of his way to upset Martin: “Larry is going out of his way to be annoyed by Martin. It just seems a little unfair now. #ImACeleb”, another added: “#ImACeleb Larry hardly a lamb! Petty and vindictive #shutuplarry #getlarryout”
Others however, felt Martin was to blame: “#ImACeleb do you think Martin, maybe because youre so flipping annoying”
“martin is so oblivious to his own actions & when someone points them out to him he goes "i dont know why they dont like me" erm #imaceleb”
