I’m A Celebrity Star Stung by Campmate’s ‘Shady’ Remark

In a recent episode of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here, fans rallied behind Lisa Riley after a comment from fellow contestant Eddie Kadi left her visibly upset. The incident unfolded during a discussion about camp leadership, leading to a wave of backlash against Kadi on social media.

Incident Overview

Lisa Riley, aged 49, known for her role in Emmerdale, received support from viewers after Kadi, 42, made what many deemed a “nasty” remark. Lisa was recently appointed deputy camp leader under Ruby Wax, 72, who had taken over as camp chief. This new leadership dynamic didn’t sit well with some campmates, particularly Angry Ginge, 24, Aitch, 25, and Jack Osbourne, 40.

Conflict in Camp

The tensions escalated when Angry Ginge expressed dissatisfaction with Lisa’s deputy appointment. He claimed he was ridiculed when preparing to leave the camp. Ginge stated, “The welcome dances have got to go,” to which Lisa responded, asserting their importance. Kadi then chimed in with his comment about Lisa’s position, suggesting she was lucky to be deputy.
