Kym Marsh slams I’m A Celebrity star Amir Khan as a ‘wuss’ as she insists she doesn’t fear Jamie Lomas will spill the beans on their marriage

KYM Marsh has branded her ex-husband’s I’m A Celeb campmate Amir Khan a “wuss” over his now infamous snake incident.

The 30-year-old boxing champ screamed and quit his Bushtucker Trial - meaning the camp went hungry - after he accidentally grabbed a small snake, leaving viewers and Corrie star Kym, 40, in disbelief.

Writing in her OK! column, she mused: "We've been glued to I'm A Celebrity in our house, and Polly is so proud of her daddy [Jamie Lomas] being in it.

"Jamie was surprised that Amir Khan said 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here!' on the first trial after he grabbed a snake and I agree – somehow you don't expect that from a boxer!

“Afterwards, a picture of Amir posing with a snake draped around him was doing the rounds online! I know it's a bit different but still, what a wuss!"

Kym has been full of support for 42-year-old Jamie, with whom she shares daughter Polly, six, with.

After two years of marriage the pair had a quickie divorce in 2014, but Kym insists there is no bitterness between them.

She explained: "People have asked me if I'm worried Jamie will talk about me. Some assumed there's some kind of bitterness between us, but that's really not the case.

According to The Mirror, Kym said: "We went for coffee a few weeks before he went.

"There’s no bad feelings.

"We have a very good relationship, Jamie and I. Polly has a good relationship with her dad...

"We have nothing bad to say about each other.”

When asked if Jamie can win the show, she said: "Why not? He’s a character, he’s got a personality.”
