Yahoo News I'm a Celebrity's Iain Lee addresses bullying scandal
Iain Lee has opened up about bullying allegations made around his time on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.
Viewers tuning into the show accused Amir Khan and Dennis Wise of picking on the radio presenter in the jungle.
However, speaking on ITV's Lorraine today (December 11), Iain admitted that while his time in camp did get particularly difficult at times, he has not fallen out with anyone over what happened.
He said: "I have made friends with everyone. I have no beef with anyone that was in there despite what you may read in the papers.
"But I guess the people that I am really closest to are Toff [Georgia Toffolo], Shappi [Khorsandi] and Jennie [McAlpine].
"They are the three that I just got on with so well. I think Toff was easily the winner, she totally deserved it and I am so thrilled for her."
Upon reflection, Iain went on to explain that he felt he may have rubbed some people up the wrong way because he was a late arrival that was tasked with splitting the group up.
"One of the problems I had was coming in five days after everyone else had bonded," he continued. "So there was already a group that had been created. They were all friends and they all knew each other.
"Then suddenly, this guy comes in along with Kez [Dugdale], does a trial, and then I had to pick five or six people. I had to pick them instantly and split the group. I found that really stressful, dividing these people that had built these friendships. It was horrendous."
Iain then admitted that because he found some of the I'm a Celebrity experience so intense, he wasn't going to watch certain scenes.
He added: "Trust me, I am going to sit down with my boys and I am going to watch the trials and the challenges – but I ain't watching the rest. I don't need to know exactly what happened."
Lorraine is on ITV, weekdays at 8.30am.
