Shane Richie sets record straight on I'm A Celebrity 'conflict'

Shane Richie has opened up on his rumoured conflict with AJ Pritchard.

The EastEnders actor came fourth on the 2020 series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in Wales, with Giovanna Fletcher being crowned Queen of the Castle in a show first.

Speaking about his experience on ITV's This Morning, Shane squashed reports of a rift between him and fellow contestant AJ and confirmed it simply "didn't happen".

ITV viewers saw some tensions between the campmates over cleaning the dishes, with AJ calling Shane out for not pulling his weight.

When asked about reports of conflict between the two of them, Shane told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that wasn't the case.

He said: "It didn't happen, there were certain things but we had so much fun."

Shane explained that he's "quite lazy around the house" but AJ was one of the cleanest in the castle, always making sure everything was done properly.

He added: "My wife will tell you I'm quite lazy around the house, if I wash a cup I often just put it on the side. AJ is so clean and he was one of the cleanest in the castle and he would make sure everything was sparkling."

Shane previously explained that they'd had some great chats and enjoyed their trial together.

He added: "So when I saw reports of conflict it made no sense, it kind of didn't happen."

This Morning continues weekdays at 10am on ITV.
