I'm A Celebrity fans fume over treatment of campmate as show hit with fresh bullying row

Fans of I'm a Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here! have taken to social media to fume over the treatment of one of the show's contestants.

Some feel that Former Radio One DJ Chris Moyles has been cruel in making jokes at Owen Warner 's expense. The loveable Hollyoaks star has shown that his celebrity knowledge isn't great, having failed to recognise Coronation Street's Sue Cleaver.

He also had no idea who world-famous singer Boy George was when first meeting him in the jungle. For most, Owen's lack of showbiz knowledge has been innocently amusing, but the Radio X presenter took it as an opportunity to make fun of the soap actor.

As reported by the Mirror, last night's update saw self-described 'Saviour of Radio One' Chris, 48, tricking the 23-year-old actor into believing he was a three-times British champion dancer.

Owen believed what the former DJ and presenter said - and this rubbed many fans the wrong way, with some going as far as to brand Chris' behaviour as bullying.

"@chrismoyles is a f***in bully to Owen. Someone needs to stop him being an a***hole," one angry fan wrote on Twitter after the moment aired on ITV last night.

Another mused: "Hope Chris Moyles doesn't keep leading him on though. At the moment it's funny but could end up being an uncomfortable watch especially if the other campmates find it hysterical at Owen's expense. It might be Chris' downfall."

"Chris Moyles boils my blood. cannot stand that man, especially what he’s doing to Owen #imaceleb," a third viewer raged on Twitter, with another adding: "#ImACeleb. I quite like Owen - Chris Moyles - he doesn’t know who I am - why would he? New generation and you’re hardly a well-known face. So let's take the p**s?"

This comes after Charlene White's family broke their silence over Boy George's recent comments regarding the Loose Women presenter.

The 61-year-old singer dubbed the journalist 'bossy' and 'controlling' during a previous episode.

"Charlene is not a 'contradiction,' her maternal actions aren't 'bossy' - they're instinctive and proactive. They hold off her restlessness and boredom," the ITV News presenter's sister Carina White told the Mirror.
