I'm a Celeb Extra Camp's Emily Atack hits out at James Haskell amid 'bully' claims

I'm a Celebrity spin off Extra Camp presenter Emily Atack slammed campmate James Haskell in Saturday's show.

Emily and Joel Dommet, who also presents the show, recapped James furious reaction when the campmates took some time to discuss who was going to do the Bushtucker Trial.

Discussing James' antics with Adam Thomas, Georgia Toloffo and Bobby Mare, Emily said James "think his word is gospel".

"He's one of those people that thinks 'if you don't think the same way as me, it's incorrect'."

She continued: "He puts words in people's mouths, like the fact that people want to showcase their talent - some people aren't in there to do that."

Exasperated, she revealed she was "cross" with James because she believes that deep down he is a "good guy".

Toff noted that James was spreading a bad mood throughout the camp, while Adam added that James still seemed to think he was camp leader, despite that title being passed on to Caitlyn Jenner.

Adam said James was "saying the wrong things", observing that "there are only two voices in camp right now, James' and Ian's".

He added: "That needs to change."

James has been criticised by fans of the show for lashing out at campmates, but the star was up to his old tricks again during tonight's challenge.

It came after a full-blown rant, when soap star Andy made the joke about his campmate.

Andy firstly suggested all campmates stop future Dingo Dollar challenges as everyone gets "stressed about it".

But James disagreed, asking Andy: "I don't get it, what stress?"

In a bid to stop a row breaking out, Andy replied: "I'm just saying..." before James sarcastically hit back: "I don't understand what the stress is.

"It's simple, A - stick your hand up in the air or B - stick your hand up in the air, majority wins, I don't get it."

Later on, Andy and James bumped into each other and it seemed the rugby star still hadn't let go of the earlier disagreement, as they began to row once again.

One Twitter user wrote: "james is a gobs**** and a bully", while another added: "Why is everyone so scared of James. He is a manipulating condescending arrogant bully. Needs putting in his place."

Another wrote: "What an impatient and nasty person James is.

"He has no respect or consideration for anyone else or their thoughts and feelings. Everyone else is wrong, to him".
