I’m A Celeb viewers cheer Ant and Dec for punishing one of camp bullies

Just desserts

I’m A Celebrity viewers were giving Ant and Dec a proverbial slap on the back as they put Jamie Lomas in his place during the latest Buchtucker Trial.

He managed to do the unforgivable by upsetting new national treasure Toff, as they discussed the infamous Cyclone Challenge.

The Hollyoaks actor and Amir Khan insinuated she should do the easier part of the trial because they are stronger.

Toff was fizzing about the 42-year-old’s comments, asserting: “I hate the stereotypical stuff because I’m a girl.”

She then went on to confide in the Bush Telegraph: “Nothing really annoys me apart from when the boys automatically assume that just because they are bigger than me that they are automatically stronger than me and more capable of doing Trials.

“Yes I am quite small but it doesn’t mean to say I am less mighty. It really grinds my gears. Not to mention, if it does get down to biology and strength I do the washing up, the wood and the water three times a day… do you know what boys, I can do this.

“It shouldn’t ever be unequal in here and I don’t think muscles transpire to stars, I’ve come back with full houses and busted a gut for everyone and I’m not that big.”

Jamie later said: “I’m not surprised in Toff’s reaction.

“She’s a tough cookie is Toff I think she surprised herself how tough she is in here, she’s feisty.”

The pair later went on to do a challenge – Toxic Trauma – together, and battled to win stars by filling a tube with disgusting stuff – with Jamie locked inside it (a role chosen by Ant and Dec).

Toff had to find a key in mystery boxes to unlock toxic waste barrels to empty into Jamie’s Perspex box.

The pair were rewarded with a meal for hit gold stars etched on the box by filling it.

They managed to get four stars.

Viewers were delighted that Ant and Dec had seemingly decided to punish Jamie for his sexist attitude by making him the passive contender – who was covered in guts!

Many felt it was just desserts for Jamie being something of a bully in their eyes…
