I'm A Celebrity's Richard Madeley savagely brands co-star Naughty Boy a 'pathetic moaner'

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! star Richard Madeley called his former co-star Naughty Boy 'pathetic'.

The Good Morning Britain Presenter left the series last week after being taken to the hospital and breaking the show's strict Covid bubble policy.

Richard wrote about his short-lived experience on The Telegraph, speaking on Naughty Boy's constant threats on leaving the show.

"Who will win? It’s anybody’s game, but I’d feel surer saying who won’t. Naughty Boy has been complaining, and misses his mum," he wrote.

"He has his reasons, but from the outside that looks pathetic; viewers never like a moaner. Arlene is suffering a bit, too. She’s cold and longs to see her daughters, so I’m not sure she’ll be long for it either."

Even fans have been complaining about the DJ's many threats to leave the camp. Each time, he does a U-turn and decides to stay an extra day.

The producer previously moaned about quitting the show on Friday night, just hours after co-star Richard left the series because of a visit to the hospital.

He also wanted to leave the series due to the conditions of The Clink where he and some other stars were banished to.

On Friday's episode, Naughty Boy complained: "I want to make tonight a special night, as I will be leaving in the morning."

“I just think my time here is done.”

Fellow campmate Snoochie Shy responded: “I feel like your journey’s only just begun. If I had handcuffs I’d chain you to a chair, but I don’t.”

Meanwhile, Richard was forced to quit the survival reality series after suffering from dehydration during the early hours of the morning last week.

After worrying producers, the star was taken to the hospital. As he was around hospital staff as well as people from the outside of the show's bubble, he had to depart the show.

He said that he was "gutted" to be leaving as he thanked everyone for their support during his brief journey on the show.

"Obviously I’m gutted to be leaving so soon but the safety of all the campmates is the number one priority," he said at the time

"I’m incredibly excited to watch their journey continue…even more so at the prospect of being somewhere a little warmer than Gwrych Castle."
