I'M A Celebrity star Khan apologised to Iain Lee on today's Good Morning Britain amid claims he'd bullied him on the hit reality show.
But the boxer denied he had "stabbed Iain in the back" during a grilling by by Susanna Reid and Piers Morgan over camp tension.
Ian told Piers and Susanna that Amir "was the one I felt most betrayed by when I came out."
He revealed: "We had been talking about going travelling around Pakistan together when we left and then I watched the show back and saw everything he'd been saying behind my back."
He also spoke about the outrageous episode where he and Amir ate all the strawberries they won in a trial rather than share them with their camp mates.
Iain claimed: "The strawberries were Amir's idea."
"I felt so guilty about it I had to tell the other camp mates and said to Amir I would say it was all me."
Asked to set the record straight, Amir said sorry for how he had treated his fellow star on the show.
He said: "Iain, I do apologise. I think you took a lot of the blame for the strawberries.
"Iain took a lot of the blame, but we're both to blame. I would never stab him in the back."
Accepting his apology, Iain asked if they were still going on their travels.
"It's all peace and love - are we going to go to Pakistan together?" he asked, to which Amir agreed.
The DJ also revealed he had struggled a little since leaving the jungle.
He said: "I came out and felt battered by it. A bit dirty.
"It's such a severe experience. You go in with your heads covered in blankets.
"I know people who previously had certain problems and have come out of the jungle and started drinking again.
"I now need to talk to someone for an hour a week to feel ok now."
Piers asked why he would do I'm A Celebrity if he felt he wasn't up to it.
Iain said: "They asked me four times to do it, and I felt this timer was the right time."
"I wanted people to know about my radio show and they wave a huge cheque at you. Overall I'm glad I did it."
Amir was hit by claims he bullied Iain when he left the jungle last month.
