I’m A Celeb’s Andy Whyment names and shames campmate acting up ‘for the cameras’

Andy Whyment thinks someone on I'm A Celebrity...South Africa is being less than genuine.

The Coronation Street star, 42, has been evicted from the camp in the Kruger National Park, and has now opened up about his fellow celebrities.

Explaining he was on the show with "huge star" Caitlyn Jenner in Australia, Andy said he couldn't understand why the 'world's first supermodel Janice Dickinson' was so rude.

Janice, 68, has been ruffling feathers since the show's debut last month and now her former campmate has given his opinion on her.

“I was in the jungle with Caitlyn Jenner in 2019 and she’s a massive star and she wasn’t rude like Janice. I don’t think there’s any need for it,“ Andy said.

“I don’t know if it’s for the cameras or something.

“There were times when she was lying in bed and then Ant and Dec would come in and she’d jump up.

“Then she’d be her usual loud self,“ reports The Sun.

Happy Monday's star Shaun Ryder also thought people were hamming it up for the camera, namely Gillian McKeith and Paul Burrell.

He said he thought the health guru wanted to do 'battle' with him after they locked horns on the show 12 years ago.

The singer also felt Paul's over-the-top reactions during trials weren't genuine, telling the publication he thought the former royal butler was actually "hard as f**k".

Andy was booted out of I'm A Celebrity South Africa after a closely fought challenge.

On the ITV show last night, the Coronation Street legend and Made in Chelsea's Georgia Tofffolo were sent home from South Africa after losing out in the Gold Rush challenge to their fellow campmates.

The pair had taken on Jordan Banjo and Myleene Klass to dig for 'gold' nuggets after being lowered into a huge pit.

After being pipped to the post, it was the end of the road for Toff and Andy, with hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly saying they were gutted to see them leave.

Ahead of his stint on the All Stars show, Corrie legend Andy admitted he didn't think it would be any different – and wasn't worried about winning.

“I don’t think it is going to be too different,“ he said. “I was in it three years ago and so it is still quite a fresh memory for me. If someone did it 15 years ago, then that will feel alien to them!“

He said, “I am going to do what I did last time and embrace the experience.“
