Fans of the ITV series have lambasted the Olympic boxer for slamming Iain for skipping a Bushtucker trial, despite being the first to call out “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” on day one. 

Iain, 44, has been crying out to leave the jungle, but last night the unfavourable honour fell on Kezia Dugdale, 36, instead. 

However, Amir, Jamie Lomas and Georgia Toffolo, 22, claimed his crocodile tears were all for show. 

Amir, 30, accused Iain of playing “mind games”, while Jamie, 42, noted: “When we were trying to get the care package last night, he got up second to do it.”

“I get what you mean to make himself look good,” replied Amir. “Yeah, he is playing mind games, 100 per cent he is trying to win the crowd over. He has a game plan.”

In the Bush Telegraph, Amir said: “Iain is trying his best to look good in front of everyone, but look, he is good to me. He’s nice so I’m not going to say anything bad about him. He shows me a lot of respect and I show him a lot of respect back.”

Later, Iain stressed that he was disappointed to have been saved by the public.

“It would have been nice to have gone today because last night was good,” he sighed. “Leaving today would have been a high for me, but hey-ho.”

However, viewers sided with Iain in their droves on Twitter, with one posting: “Amir talks so much s**t.”

Another agreed: “Amir is actually quite nasty, he’s still a child,” which was followed by: “I wish everyone would leave Iain alone, I feel bad for him.”

Tonight sees another contestant leave the jungle, with the favourite being The Saturdays singer Vanessa White, 28. 

Last night’s axed campmate Kezia caused a stir just hours after her elimination after snubbing Good Morning Britain and riling up Piers Morgan, 52. 

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV.
