Rebekah Vardy and Jamie Lomas accused him of playing a game, which Iain vehemently denied.

While he was drying his shirt over the fire, Rebekah said to him: “Look at you, you secret game planner... buzzing that you are not going out tomorrow, you’ve got a game plan you have.”

Denying the accusation, Iain replied: “Oh shut the front door, I’ve got an extra day that’s all.”

Jamie chipped in: “You are definitely playing a game.”

Becky continued: “Watch this one, not only does he nick strawberries but he’s also got a game plan.”

“Yeah he was itching to go yesterday and now he’s the happiest man on earth. Come on don’t tell me you are not playing a game, I was on to you three days ago,” said Jamie.

Amir Khan let Iain take most of the rap for strawberry-gate, when it was initially the boxer's idea to scoff the camp's strawberries and cream.

And despite Amir being the first celeb this series to say "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" he criticised Iain for not overcoming his fear of heights on tonight's Dingo Dollar Challenge.

Viewers felt strongly about Iain's treatment, writing on Twitter: "It’s actually quite uncomfortable to watch I’m a celeb, 5 adults bulling a grown man! It’s not right #ImACeleb.

"Didn't amir shout I'm a celeb in his first trial. Now he is slating iain asking why he didn't give it a go. Amir is a snake 🐍 #imaceleb.

"Literally love Iain and everyone's nasty to him 💔 this is ruining I'm a celeb for me I just wanna cry.

"Catching up on #ImACeleb and feeling for Iain Lee, a phobia is not rational, can't logically explain it. Good on you Dennis Wise trying to flag up that isolating someone isn't right, but Becky's retort was harsh AND she shut Dennis down, that's a bit bullying ☹️.

"#ImACeleb Amir I think you forgot about shouting the famous phrase when you were bullying Iain. #wiseup people.

"I feel like the producers should be making some kind of intervention before the bullying against Iain gets any worse. He suffers from anxiety and he genuinely looks so low. #imaceleb."

An I'm A Celebrity spokesperson told The Sun Online: "The welfare of our celebrities is of utmost importance and we've not witnessed nor had any complaints of bullying from any of them."

Iain confided in Shappi: “I am in a really s****y mood, I can’t wait to get out of here, I cannot wait to get out of this country and leave all this bull**it behind.

"They are all blowing smoke up Amir’s ass and he’s pi**ing himself laughing about it and I’m telling him that they all think it was me. I hate it.”

Shappi said in the Bush Telegraph: “He feels scapegoated, the boys have a very tight gang here and they didn’t make Iain one of the lads."
