I’m A Celebrity: Richard Madeley and Naughty Boy

Senior therapist Sally Baker spoke to The Mirror about this year’s I’m A Celeb campmates.

According to the therapist, Richard is a contender to win the show.

However, the presenter will have to beat fan favourite David Ginola first.

She told the publication: “In terms of who will win, Richard Madeley has an enormous ego and will want to prove he’s the best. He’s got traits of narcissism and is very ambitious.

“But David Ginola is fit, he’s strong and muscular, so he’ll be able to cope physically with the harsh conditions and lack of food.”

Sally also shared her view on musician Naughty.

She called his behaviour last night “attention-seeking”, adding: “He’s way too sensitive for this kind of brutal treatment. And I think he’s being massively triggered, probably by childhood experiences.”

However, the expert believes that Naughty won’t quit due to “money”.

During last night’s episode, Naughty shared his doubts over remaining on the show.

It came after losing against Snoochie Shy in the trial.

He told his campmates: “I think my time here is done.

“I had a feeling earlier and I was thinking about mum and obviously I love you guys – I don’t think after knowing what the Main Camp probably knew what they were putting me through knowing I did the challenge earlier.

“I don’t know if I could ever join that camp.”
