After winding up the I’m A celebrity jungle camp with his laughter during Robert Kilroy-Silk’s live task, Timmy realised he had to apologise.

Robert replied:  “Oh stop it now.  I’m not a vindictive or vengeful person but Tim, I think you know me I won’t take any crap.  I’m trying to fit in here and be not my normal self.  I’m trying not to be aggressive, arrogant.  I’m trying to work with people but don’t do it any more.

“That’s fine.  I accept that [the apology].  You don’t have to say any more.  But leave it there and no more.”

Timmy said. “I think you’re a hero.  I think you’re a trouper.  A big hero.  I think what you achieved today was sensational Robert.”

Robert replied: “I don’t mind you laughing but you were distracting me.  It’s not me that saw it like that.  Other people saw it too.”

Robert summed up in the Bush Telegraph:  “I’m not going to be moved around or irritated or undermined or whatever.  I don’t need anybody behaving towards me like he is.”
