Danny Baker says Martin Roberts “embarrassed himself” on I’m A Celebrity

I’m A Celebrity star Danny Baker has laughed off claims that he bullied Martin Roberts in the jungle – and even claims that the Homes Under The Hammer presenter “embarrassed himself.”

In his first interview since being booted off the show by viewers on Friday, the 59-year-old DJ blasted claims that he made Martin blub when he stuck up for camp president Scarlett Moffatt. 53-year-old Roberts had continually ignored the Gogglebox star’s requests.

“I don’t understand it at all,” raged Danny. “If someone is jabbing away at you and you have a go back and they say, ‘Oh, you’re bullying me’, that seems passive aggressive nonsense.

“Maybe he cried. But I’m not responsible for a bloke who breaks down and cries after I’ve picked him up because he’s having a go at one of the girls in there. If I had been having a go at everyone in there, they could say, ‘He’s out of control.’

“But if a bloke is having a go at a young girl and patronising her and she’s not got the guts to come back, I think any man would step in and say, ‘Shut up!’ I think he’s embarrassed himself.”

Danny also tipped Scarlett to go on and win the show, and called her “one of the smartest people he’s ever met.”

“She can take on anything she wants,” he gushed. “She could be a host of Have I Got News For You and she wouldn’t need the scriptwriters. I mean that. Scarlett is smart as a f****** whip.

“But she’s never going to get the chance because people always look at working class people and say, ‘Well, listen to that accent.”
