I’m a Celebrity star and TalkRADIO host Iain Lee in the jungle to pay for his ill mother’s care home fees
DEVOTED I’m a Celeb star Iain Lee signed up for the ITV show to pay for his ill mother’s care home costs.
Linda, 66, has severe MS and he has been burning through his life savings to cover the £1,500-a-week fees.
She cannot talk, walk or feed herself.
TalkRADIO host Iain, 44, said: “We can’t afford to keep her there. It’s very upsetting.”
Before heading to Oz the dad of two was forced to tell Linda he would have to move her.
A source close to him said: “His mum’s care home costs are a great concern for Iain.
“He’ll be able to use a proportion of his jungle fee to stabilise the situation.
“He’s made no secret of the fact he can’t wait to get home to his boys but knowing the money will be a huge help to his mum is stopping him from walking out.”
Iain, who has battled depression, has been the subject of a bullying row in camp as some contestants accused him of being a game player.
