I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant AJ Pritchard used his exit interview to deliver a jibe aimed at fellow campmate Shane Richie.

The pair had clashed earlier on the series, with camp chores being a particular source of discontent.

Pritchard, best known for his work as a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing, was voted off I’m a Celebrity last night (2 December) alongside Olympic gold medallist Sir Mo Farah, in the show’s third consecutive double eviction.

Speaking to Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly after his exit, Pritchard referenced the time when he and EastEnders actor Richie feuded over the washing up, saying: “If you’re gonna do a job, do it properly.”

Pritchard was asked if it had made him frustrated, to which he replied: “Maybe; I'm not going to lie!”

He added: “I think the thing is resolving problems rather than letting them fester.”

I’m a Celebrity is now entering its home stretch, with just four contestants remaining in the competition.
