Furious viewers want I’m A Celeb star sent home for ‘humiliating’ Iain Lee

Campmate's actions did NOT go down well with fans

| Updated:

Jungle viewers were fuming tonight after Dennis Wise voiced doubt over Iain Lee’s ability to complete a Bushtucker Trial.

Some I’m A Celebrity fans accused the retired footballer of being too harsh on Iain for bringing up his past Bushtucker Trial failure.

Others called for Dennis to go home in tonight’s vote.

The drama started when the camp were asked to choose someone for tonight’s Bushtucker Trial, called Tutankha-Doom.

Iain immediately said he’d like to have a go but pointed out Jamie also wanted to compete.

At that point, Dennis joined the conversation to say he’d prefer Jamie do the trial, given Iain previously called “I’m a celebrity… get me out of here!” and came home empty-handed.

Dennis said: “My only problem, and I’ll be honest with you Iain, is that you’ve said ‘Get Me Out Of Here’ twice and what I don’t want to do is we have no dinner and so….”

Firing back. Iain pointed out he’d won 11 stars on the trial he did finish.

He also said Dennis’ facts were wrong: “I failed one of [the Bushtuckers], the other was a challenge.”

“I get it, you don’t want me to do it, I withdraw my offer, does that mean I can do no trials for the rest of the run then?

“Is that what you’re saying, because that feels a little bit unfair” said Iain.

Dennis, however, was still unsure and warned: “If you come back with nothing everyone will be upset.”

“Iain, the problem is you’ve gone a couple of times and you’ve come back with nothing, so that causes me a slight issue,” added Dennis.

Naturally, Iain was a bit miffed by it all and retreated to the Bush Telegraph to say it “did feel a bit humiliating having my list of failures kind of recited back to me.”

Dennis, however, felt he was justified in his argument, pointing out: “People need to eat and people are hungry. If he doesn’t like my opinion, he doesn’t like it, but I have to say what I feel.”

Back at camp, Iain withdrew his offer to try the Bushtucker, prompting Dennis to say: “Don’t be stroppy.”

The two men then began to bicker, with Dennis accusing Iain of not letting him finish his sentence.

“Let me explain, if everyone chose for you to go tomorrow to do a trial I haven’t got a problem,” said Dennis. “So don’t say you can’t do no more trials because that’s only my thought process and I’m allowed that thought process so please don’t throw that back at me.”

“I’m throwing nothing back at you,” said Iain.

Dennis then warned Iain not to “try and make me look bad” as the other campmates piped up to end the chat.

Iain and Dennis then apologised to each other for being rude and shook hands.

Some viewers, however, felt Dennis had been out of line.

Many called for Dennis to go home in tonight’s vote.

Others, however, didn’t think Dennis did anything wrong.
