Boxing champion Joe Bugner has claimed that ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is fixed.
Joe claims that he had no chance of winning his task against Stuart Manning, as it involved reading letters using an ultraviolet light and he has bad eyesight.
ITV bosses are said to be disappointed that Joe Bugner was put out of I’m A Celebrity this week and worry that his departure will lead to another drop in ratings for the show.
The jungle based series already lost viewers when Katie Price walked out last week and producers are worried that now controversial Joe has gone, more will tune out.
Joe Bugner has become the sixth celebrity to leave the I’m A Celebrity jungle, after he lost to Stuart in the Bushtucker Trial Jungle Jail.
On hearing the news the former boxing champion said: “I didn’t want to go, I wanted to stay to the end.
“I’ve had a wonderful time, I knew from the word go that the youth would take over here, but the experience alone was fantastic. I can now go home to my grandchildren and tell them what it was all about. ”
I’m a Celebrity camp mates Joe Bugner and Stuart Manning have ended up in the bottom two tonight and been sent to “jungle jail”.
The actor and boxer polled the lowest amount of public votes and Ant explained:
It is one of the most vile and stomach retching trials to date and the public decided that the Bushtucker Trial dream team of Kim Woodburn and Joe were the perfect pair to be put through it.
Kim told the public: “You are very mean, it’s my fourth one – it’s a test of my mettle.”
Dec welcomed Kim and Joe to The Jungle Arms and the first two drinks were then brought to the table. Dec explained: “This is Castlemaine Four Legs, its pulped cockroaches and mealworms with a couple of live cockroaches as a garnish. Each drink is worth one star; to win it you have to drink the entire contents of your glass, don’t worry about the live cockroaches.”
Last night on Live From Studio Five, Strictly Come Dancing judge, Alesha Dixon sensationally suggested that I’m A Celebrity… contestant, Joe Bugner is “either racist or doesn’t like women” whilst discussing her ex band mate Sabrina Washington’s progress on the show.
When asked about Joe’s treatment of Sabrina, Alesha said:
“He has been a bit mean to Sabrina…Well he is either racist or he doesn’t like women, one of the two.”
On tonight’s I’m A Celebrity the campmates sat around the fire as they waited for their dinner to arrive and started a game of Truth Or Dare. Colin immediately asked Stuart if he fancied Sabrina, a question that Stuart dodged answering by diplomatically saying “I don’t know her well enough to know.”
Kim was next when Justin asked whether Kim had ever found herself in the ‘nappy position’ (He explained to Sam that it was when you had your ankles around your ears!). “I can honestly say that for the whole of my life, never” Kim replied.
Katie Price and Joe Bugner were voted to do today’s I’m a Celebrity Bush Tucker Trial but as Katie left the jungle, someone else had to replace her in the challenge.
After returning from the bush telegraph hut, Colin McAllister read a note from producers. “This morning Katie and Joe were voted by the pubic to do the trial. As Katie decided to leave the jungle before she could earn food for the camp, the trial must now be completed but Joe and the next placed Celebrity. This is Kim.”
I’m A Celebrity’s Kim Woodburn had another of her infamous rants on tonight’s show, this time directed at boxing champion Joe Bugner.
The bush hamper arrived in camp and contained racks of Australian lamb. Stuart offered to cook but when Joe began interfering and putting Stuart down, Kim jumped in, all guns blazing.
Yesterday in I’m A Celebrity jungle camp, Katie Price asked Joe Bugner if in his hey day he had lots of women as he had previously commented that he was “a bit of a boy?”
Colin interjected that was his “Rolls Royce picking up the chicks?” and Katie shocked the former boxer when she said, “In the club, ‘champong’ all round you. They’re all taking the piss out of you nicking your drink. You thinking, ‘Yeah I’m going to take you home tonight, open your legs and give you one, you dirty bitch.’ Then you’re f*cking off.”
