I’m A Celebrity’s Amir Khan confirms feud with his dad is over as he posts a photo of them hugging on Instagram
Former boxing champ uploads adorably picture of himself being greeted by father Shah after the jungle proving bitter family row is now over - for the moment
AMIR Khan has confirmed his bitter feud with his dad Shah is over by posting a lovely snap of them hugging after he left I'm A Celeb.
The former World Boxing Champion, 31, previously sacked his dad, uncle and best mate from his management company at the start of this year during a vicious family feud.
This happened before Amir's big online fall-out with wife Faryal Makhdoom in the summer, and his other half was thought to be involved in the father-son spat.
But now a glowing Instagram post about reuniting with Shah has put to bed any claims blood isn't thicker than water.
Posting a snap of him grabbing his pa for a cuddle, he captioned it: "Was lovely to see my dad after 22 days when I left the jungle #Imaceleb #Australia."
Amir, who wowed with his mind-boggling lack of general knowledge on the ITV series, is one of Shah's four children, and like brother Haroon, he was guided into boxing by his relatives at a young age.

And Shah was very supportive of Amir during his time in the jungle, which is just as well seeing as his son was accused of bullying Iain Lee.
His questionable behaviour during and after what was dubbed "strawberry-gate" might have even cost Amir the title of I'm A Celeb, according to voting statistics.
But Shah rushed to defend him, saying: “I was very shocked – it’s not like Amir.
“Look what happened when he had a meal ticket, he gave it away to Stanley. And when he had a Snickers he gave half to Kez. It’s the last thing I would have expected him to do.”
Olympic Silver medallist Amir has not only mended a family feud, but also may have landed TV work from his jungle sting.
He and winner Toff are being lined up as Loose Women guests - despite the fact he rudely interrupted Iain Lee's post-jungle interview to say he's not a bully.
But he may also do well to listen to fellow boxer Ricky Hatton and get back into the ring as soon as possible.
Whether Amir's reunion with his dad will mean a harmonious relationship with model wife Faryal - who the family slagged off mercilessly as "evil" over the summer - remains to be seen.
