I'm A Celebrity Day 16: Timmy: camp were jealous of me

2:32pm Monday 1st December 2008 in TV

Timmy Mallett has complained he was bullied on I'm A Celebrity...

The children's TV presenter - who left the show this weekend after losing a trial against Brian Paddick - says he was treated unfairly by some of the contestants, in particular glamour model Nicola McLean, presenter Dani Behr and fitness trainer Carly Zucker.

He said: "They had issues. They resented the fact I was a newcomer and got airtime. The bullying came from their jealousy.

"Nicola was so rude. Carly doesn't want me at her wedding but I don't care. I'm not worried how people see me. I just say 'boff' to it all."

Despite his unhappiness at the younger women in the camp, Timmy had praise for two of the other contestants, David Van Day and Joe Swash.

He added: "My first impression of David was, 'What a nutter'. But he is a delightful nutter and a great friend. David has courage. He was bullied and stood up for himself.

"Joe's also brave. When David and I were bullied, he said, 'I'm not having it'. He stood up to older people who should be wiser. I admire it."
