What did viewers say about AJ Pritchard?

Some viewers weren’t happy with their plans and complained on Twitter.

One person said: “Glad covid restrictions don’t count for celebs @Aj11Ace going to @Mo_Farah for a meal tomorrow night.”

No going round to Mo’s house for dinner for you my friend.

Another wrote: “Someone needs to bring @Aj11Ace up to speed with the new COVID tiers….

“No going round to Mo’s house for dinner for you my friend.”

A third added: “I think someone should have reminded AJ that now out of I’m A Celeb he has to obey the social distancing rules.

“Which means going to @Mo_Farah house for dinner can’t go ahead!!”

AJ addresses I’m A Celebrity ‘tension’

Meanwhile, during the interview, AJ addressed the alleged tension between himself and Shane Richie.

Viewers recently spotted tension between the pair as they appeared to clash over the washing up in camp.

Host Lorraine Kelly asked him: “You all got on very well, there was very little tension.

“People are trying to make out there was a lot of tension between you and Shane. But really you all just got on didn’t you?”

AJ replied: “Yeah no great bunch of people. Yeah washing up, I’m not going to lie, my pans and Shane’s pans [were] two different standards.

“But we all ate in the clean pans afterwards and that’s all that matters.”
