Alison Hammond has reflected on her time on I’m A Celebrity fifteen years ago - revealing her feud with one rocker.
The presenter, 50, was speaking on spin-off show I'm A Celebrity Unpacked on Sunday, after the first I’m A Celeb episode on Sunday.
Host Joel Dommett, 40, picked up on footballer Alex Scott saying she wasn’t a fan of rude people, and asked the panel: “Do you see her clashing with people?”
It was then Alison claimed Happy Monday’s Shaun Ryder “hated [her] guts” when they were in the jungle together.
“At the moment, everyone seems very friendly but as time goes on, we'll know,” she said.
“When I went in there, I'll never forget, I walked in and said the party's here with my Terry's Chocolate Orange, and everyone was like [unbothered face].
“Then, Shaun Ryder hated my guts straight away for no reason. He was very rude.”
“So hopefully there are no Shaun Ryders in there [this year].”
However, Shaun’s friend presenter Leigh Francis was on the panel, and stuck up for him, adding: “I know Shaun and he's normally really lovely.”
Two years ago, Shaun addressed their feud on IAC, saying: “Ever since the jungle show, I knew Alison didn't like me. But fair enough, nobody has to like each other. It's not against the law.”
Earlier this year, it was reported TV bosses were in early talks to secure the future of I’m A Celeb for another five years, a move that could take the enduring reality show to its landmark 30th season.
The show, fronted by iconic presenting duo Ant and Dec since its launch in 2002, remains one of ITV’s biggest winter draws.
Every year, a fresh batch of celebrities head into the jungle to endure basic rations, tough sleeping conditions and infamous Bushtucker Trials. The public then votes for their favourites, ultimately choosing who will be crowned king or queen of the jungle.
The 25th series of the show started last night, with this year’s celebrities including people like Ruby Wax, Martin Kemp, Aitch, Jack Osborne, Eddie Kadi and Kelly Brook.
