Kim Kardashian claims ‘nobody’ at I’m A Celebrity ‘reached out’ to Caitlyn Jenner's family to support her

Kim Kardashian has claimed “nobody” from her extended family was contacted to be there for Caitlyn Jenner after her lonely I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! exit.

Caitlyn arrived back to LA on Tuesday after being the only camp mate of this year series to not be greeted by friends or family when she was voted out of the reality show.

Kardashian and her former stepbrother Brandon Jenner have now spoken out on social media, insisting that they were not given the opportunity to meet Caitlyn on the bridge.

On Tuesday, Kardashian tweeted: “NO ONE from I'm a Celeb even reached out and asked for letters, appearances or anything from any Kardashians or Jenners.”

The 39-year-old KUWTK star added “exactly what Brandon said!!!!”, referring to her former stepbrother Brandon claiming 'nobody' from the show reached out to the family.

Brandon made his statement after a fan privately messaged him to demand answers.

The fan asked: “Why wasn't you at the bridge. So sad seeing your dad upset.” [sic]

In messages obtained by the Daily Mirror, Brandon replied: “Honestly, nobody reached out to set it up.”

He added: “I think it might have been a ‘storyline’ the producers wanted to fabricate in order to get more empathy for Caitlyn. That's how that kind of TV works.”

Soon after, Kendall Jenner, Brandon and Kardashian’s half-sister, took to her Twitter to co-sign Kardashian's statement, writing “!!!!”.

Standard Online has contacted a spokesperson for I'm A Celebrity for comment.

Sophia Hutchins, a good friend who lives with Caitlyn, landed in Australia after her exit from the jungle due to her flight from LA being delayed.

Caitlyn finished in fifth place, while former EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa was crowned Queen of the jungle.

After touching down in LA, the Olympic decathlete posted on Instagram an image of her LA home covered in pink, white and gold balloons while an inflatable silver message read “welcome home”.

Revealing that Kendall and Kylie were behind the surprise, Caitlyn captioned the snap : “Thank you my baby’s @kendalljenner @kyliejenner." [sic]
