The latest I’m A Celebrity news has seen Tony Bellew admit a fallout with Nigel Farage and deliver a blow to Sam Thompson.
Tony was a fan-favourite in the 2023 series of the ITV reality show, and has admitted that he got on with every single person in camp… Except one.
I’m A Celebrity news: Tony vs Nigel
Speaking about their lack of contact, the boxer revealed: “I have no relationship with Nigel Farage whatsoever. I got on with every other person in the jungle, I didn’t make any exception for Farage.”
Tony added: “I don’t think he liked it when I said I hope Margaret Thatcher is burning in hell, that shut him down quite quickly.
“I say I’d wish him well, but I don’t know him to wish him well,” he added.
“I spent some time with him in a remote part of the jungle in the middle of nowhere, I don’t really know the man, and the minute he got out, he wanted to distance himself as far away from me as he could,” he said.
I don’t think he liked it when I said I hope Margaret Thatcher is burning in hell.
Lifting the lid on what could’ve caused the distance, Tony said: “We’d have conversations about politics in the jungle, but I don’t know enough about politics to come back at him. The only thing I asked about was Brexit and why? Because I think it’s [bleep]ed this country over, well and truly. Our country is a mess because of it.
“This country was built on immigration, my views are very different to his, being a mixed race man. I come from a black mother and a white father. Farage would know absolutely [bleep] all about my upbringing and my life. These people come from money and wealth, I come from absolutely nothing.”
Blow for Sam Thompson
Tony’s jungle bestie Sam Thompson should also look away now…
The boxer admitted: “Sam and I speak regularly, I’ll always look out for Sam, a lovely guy. Him and Pete [Wicks], lovely lads. Marvin [Humes] as well. But the best friend I gained from any of those shows was Leon in SAS [DJ Locksmith from Rudimental].
“Me and him are close and we’re about to set out on adventure together pretty soon. That was a different kind of hard in the SAS. But I enjoyed both. Would I do them again? Absolutely [bleep]ing not. Unless the fee really ramped up to astronomical figures.
“But I wouldn’t do the dancing [Strictly] or the ice [Dancing On Ice], that’s not for me.
Tony was speaking to BoyleSports, who provide the latest boxing betting.
