<\/p>\nTHE first ever winner of I'm A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! has blasted the ITV show and said he can "barely watch" it these days.<\/p>\n
Radio veteran\u00a0Tony Blackburn was crowned king of the jungle on the ITV series back in 2002, beating the late Tara Palmer-Tomkinson in the final.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
He hit out at the Ant and Dec hosted show saying it is no longer "entertaining" because of the revolting eating trials.<\/p>\n
Last night he tuned in but not for long, and then took to on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n
Tony, 80, said: "I watched I\u2019m a Celebrity last night but had to wiz through most of it because I can\u2019t watch the eating trials, I wish they wouldn\u2019t do them as they are revolting and we\u2019ve seen them so many times. <\/p>\n
"I just want to see the celebs talking to one another as this is much more entertaining.<\/p>\n
"Seeing people eating horrible stuff is not entertaining One follower replied to his tweet: "At least the bugs aren't alive anymore, but agree they should change it to not include any sort of animal."<\/p>\n Tony replied, saying: "Yes I totally agree Peter."<\/p>\n<\/p>\n I'm A Celeb sees campmates served up a range of rotten dishes – from creepy crawlies, to camel penis and cow anus.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n It has often come under fire from animal rights charities like PETA, who said it had caused "extreme stress, fear, and trauma to the animals involved" during a trial that aired in the last series.<\/p>\n The public selected Nigel Farage to take on\u00a0I\u2019m A Celebrity\u2019s Jungle Pizzeria eating challenge on Monday \u2014 and he gamely tucked into a medley of members from sheep, bull, pig and crocodile to win stars for camp.<\/p>\n He tucked into dishes called 'Pepper Groaney', 'Veggie Scarian' and 'Quattro For-gag-io'.<\/p>\n But viewers also got tohear his views on Brexit, after recently saying it had "failed."<\/p>\n He chatted to Frenchman\u00a0Fred Sirieix\u00a0\u2014 who has previously railed against Brexit online.<\/p>\n Fred asked: \u201cWhat\u2019s the benefit of Brexit, then? If you are an average person from Britain, what\u2019s the benefit?\u201d <\/p>\n Nigel said: \u201cTo know we\u2019re independent, we stand on our own two feet in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n The First Dates ma\u00eetre d\u2019 said: \u201cBrexit was about immigration, I remember your poster. I thought it was shameful what you did, Nigel.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0Nigel replied: \u201cSadly, sadly it was absolutely true.<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a poster showing mass young men moving illegally across borders.\u201d<\/p>\n Fred said: \u201cBut it was about demonising migrants.\u201d<\/p>\n Nigel replied: \u201cNo, it wasn\u2019t. Brexit is about one thing and one thing only \u2014 being self-governing." We\u2019re in charge. We can get it right, we can make an absolute mess of it but we\u2019re the people who make those decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n Fred said: \u201cI think the average person in the UK has lost out because of what you\u2019ve done.\u201d <\/p>\n Nigel said: \u201cThey haven\u2019t lost out.\u201d<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/shutterstockeditorialIACEMBARGO14222060ALjpg-JS860769350.jpg\")
