I was there for one of I’m A Celeb’s biggest scandals – bosses edit the show to make certain campmates look bad

FORMER I'm A Celebrity star Vicki Michelle claims producers cost a campmate the jungle crown by editing him in a bad light.

The actress, 73, took part in the fourteenth series of the ITV show back in 2014.

The 'Allo 'Allo legend was the fourth celeb to be eliminated from the show, which was later won by motorbike racing legend Carl Fogarty.

During the series, Jake Quickenden and Jimmy Bullard developed a bromance but, at times, they clashed too.

Vicki explained that tensions run high in camp because everyone is hungry and arguments can look a lot different on TV to how they play out in reality.

Speaking to The Sun on behalf of , Vicki said: "You don't see the full thing.

"You know, it was a bit like Jimmy Bullard and Jake Quickenden.

"They showed them having a bit of a spat together. But it wasn't.

"It was like blokey banter, you know. It depends how they cut it and how it came out because Jimmy went after that.

"But I think they were both – they both had goes at each other, boys banter, whatever it is.

"You know, so I think that can happen.

"As you say, it is how it's edited and they edit to get a reaction from the people at home, for sure."

Jake and Jimmy clashed when the X Factor star told the footballer Vicki had mistaken him for BBC newsreader Michael Buerk.

Jimmy wasn't impressed and told him: "Alright, f**king He-Man. Just 'cos you're all f**king muscles."

But Jake wanted to continue pressing his buttons.

He cheekily replied: "You bite so quick. You don't come back with anything.

"You get nasty. You get nasty, don't you?

"It don't matter. I understand, it's fine."

A furious Jimmy said: "You're calling me a 68-year-old man. That's nasty in a way. It ain't affecting me.

"You're out of your league, son. You're out of your depth. It's embarrassing."

Cheeky chappy Jimmy had been an early front-runner, but the more his ribbing of Jake was shown on screen the more public opinion turned against him and he quickly found himself out of the camp.

When asked if she thinks show bosses are more careful about the edits now, Vicki said: "I'm not sure that they are because it makes for good telly.

"I think maybe they'll let those bits go because I think, you know, Jimmy was going to win, without a doubt.

"And it was only when that band came out that they – yeah, the audience voted him out.

"So yeah, I think they should be a bit careful.

"They probably are a bit careful because that was a bit – wow, that was a big reaction for one of the favourites to go out at that time.

"So I think they – yeah, I think they would edit it better now."
