I'm a Celeb's AJ Pritchard speaks out on feud with Shane Richie

AJ Pritchard has admitted he did get frustrated with Shane Richie during their time in I'm A Celebrity.

AJ spoke about his relationship with the EastEnders star on Lorraine, following his eviction last night.

Lorraine asked AJ if there was a problem between him and Shane, following rumours of a feud between the pair.

Former Strictly star AJ said that everyone got along in the camp, but admitted the washing up frustrated him.

AJ said: "Great bunch of people. Even watching the highlights reel, you realise how much has happened. For us one day feels like one week.

"Washing up, I’m not going to lie, my pans and Shane’s pans, two different standards but we all ate in the clean pans afterwards, that’s all that matters."

AJ's grandmother died during his time on the show and he only found out about her death as he left the camp.

Lorraine sent her condolences to him and his family and asked him how he was feeling.

He said: "Thank you very much for your concern, Lorraine, and as a family, we are very strong."

As for who he will keep in touch with most AJ said he had bonded with Sir Mo Farah most out of everyone.

He said: “I think everybody has been great but definitely that bromance with Sir Mo Farah, a knight of the realm in a castle. We have already booked in dinner tomorrow night to go to his house and he says he is going to be cooking for me, so I am sure some of Mo’s rice will be on that menu.

"From watching someone who brought the whole nation together in 2012 like Sir Mo Farah, to now thinking that I am going to go to his house and have dinner and doing a trial with a knight in a castle, listening to him behind me squealing like a girl was just the most surreal moment but the most awesome thing that could have ever happened.

"Even my mum, I made sure she got a photo with him last night. Where does that happen? Only on I’m a Celebrity…”

*Lorraine continues at 9am on ITV tomorrow
