Georgia “Toff” Toffolo may have been crowned I’m A Celebrity’s Jungle Queen this year, but the real story of the series was the alleged “bullying” of Iain Lee.
At various times throughout the show’s run, some viewers felt Jamie Lomas, Dennis Wise, Amir Khan and Becky Vardy were ganging up on him.
They’d seemingly put him down after not succeeding at a Bush Trucker Trial, and had several confrontational conversations – some of which weren’t aired, Iain revealed recently.
However since leaving the jungle, it appears that all of the bad blood had been put to rest – with Iain at one point claiming he’d never felt bullied at all.
But the presenter admitted on his TalkRadio show he still harboured resentment towards some of his former campmates.

He said: “I have to say I’m on good terms with pretty much everyone now. I had a nice little text exchange with Dennis just before I came on air. I had a nice little text exchange with Becky and we’ve made peace.”
However, two names were conspicuous by their absence in Iain’s speech – Amir and Jamie.
Amir in particular came in for criticism from 44-year-old Iain, who said: “I haven’t spoken to Amir, and Amir is the one I am the most disappointed with because I thought we were friends.
“And then I’ve seen clips of him lying about me being my back. So that disappoints me a lot.”
Jamie, Dennis and Becky were also named by the radio host, although he says he’s made peace with them now.
Iain said: “I’m upset with what Jamie, Dennis and Becky said about me behind my back and about what some of them said about me when they left, but I bear no judges and there’s no beef.”
Iain got off to a rocky start in the jungle, with Jamie and Becky in particular believing he had entered with a “game plan.”
Iain hit back at those comments as well, saying: “This is why I think I got called a game player: because I knew it was a game show.”
“And because I went in five days after everyone else, everyone had got into the mentality of this was their journey, a spiritual journey for some people and they’d bonded.
“I never had that. To keep me sane before I went in, I went in thinking this is a game show.”

“I don’t think anybody else – Shappi maybe – grasped it was a game show. They took it as a spiritual experience we were all kind of sharing.”
What we’d really like to see is a show that brings all of the jungle campmates back together to have all this out once and for all. Make it happen, ITV!
