Kim Kardashian slams claims Caitlyn Jenner was abandoned on I'm A Celeb in furious rant

Kim Kardashian has lashed out at claims her famous family abandoned Caitlyn Jenner in the I'm A Celebrity jungle - saying ITV didn't reach out to them once.

Viewers had been left heartbroken when Caitlyn's letter from home came from her 'dogs'.

Then there was more anger directed at the Kardashian-Jenners when former Olympian Caitlyn 70, faced a lonely exit from camp with no family or friends turning out to meet her on the bridge.

Fans branded the reality TV family 'disgusting' and threatened to boycott their products over the snub.

Kim fumed : "NO ONE from I’m A Celeb even reached out and asked for letters, appearances or anything from any Kardashians or Jenners."

Her Twitter tirade supported the claims made by step-brother Brandon, who earlier today accused ITV of orchestrating Caitlyn's journey on the show to gain 'empathy' from viewers.

Brandon claimed ITV 'fabricated' Caitlyn's story as 'nobody reached out' to set up her departure from the jungle and that's why he wasn't there to greet her.

A fan has sent a screenshot of a conversation to Mirror Online after they confronted Brandon and demanded reasons for his lack of support for his dad's journey.

The viewer questioned: "Why wasn't you at the bridge? So sad seeing your dad upset."

The 38-year-old, who Caitlyn shares with Linda Thompson, reportedly responded: "Honestly, nobody reached out to set it up.

"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," followed by a smirking emoji.

I'm A Celeb fans had slammed Caitlyn's famous family for failing to show up to support Caitlyn as she left the jungle - branding them 'disgusting' over the apparent snub.

After a tearful elimination, Caitlyn was the only star left to leave the jungle alone in emotional scenes.

While other evicted stars were greeted by their loved ones, Caitlyn was instead supported by her former campmate James Haskell, who had been voted off days previously.

There was uproar online, with livid fans rushing to social media to slam the Kardashian-Jenners.
