I’m A Celebrity star Iain Lee admits he faked reactions in the jungle
I'M A Celebrity star Iain Lee said he faked his reaction during one of the eating trials.
He ate a pig's genitals in the last Bushtucker Trial of the latest series and says he played up to the cameras.
On his first talkRADIO show since coming out of the ITV show, he told a caller: “Can I let you into a secret? The eating trial wasn’t that bad.
“I was kind of hamming it up a bit.
“It wasn’t that bad. The tastes weren’t that bad. What it was, it was the texture.
“The pig’s fanny was fine – it was not a problem at all. It was tiny.
“The worst one was the camel’s brain. And when I think of it, I can still something rising in my chest. That was thoroughly unpleasant.”
Iain’s time in the jungle was surrounded by accusations he was being bullied by footballer Dennis Wise and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas.
He defended the pair on his show saying he is on “good terms” with them, but said he was “disappointed” with Amir Khan and what he said behind his back.
Iain said: “I thought we were friends and then I’ve seen clips of him lying about me behind my back.
“Amir and I were going to go to Pakistan together. So that disappoints me.
“I’m upset with what Dennis and Jamie and Becky (Vardy) said about me behind my back. But I bear no grudge. There’s no beef.”
He also revealed the celebrities discussed doing Celebrity Big Brother and that his peers said they would not do it.
Iain told his listeners he has approached producers of the Channel 5 show recently to do it due to “certain circumstances”.
The Sun’s Bizarre column revealed he signed up to I’m A Celeb to fund his ill mother’s care home costs.
