Thomas Skinner has taken aim at the current batch of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! campmates after not being included in the current ITV series.
The Apprentice star, 32, was rumoured to be heading to the jungle with his odds at 7-1 in August, and he seemed to express interest in joining the line-up.
‘I’ll eat anything. I’ll drink anything. I’ll do anything. I’d be fine,’ he told Metro.co.uk, earlier this year when asked if he’d participate.
He also had an ulterior motive for potentially doing the ITV show: ‘Going on the show would do me a favour as I could lose a bit of weight. I’d go in and have a little diet.’
However, when the 2023 celebrities’ names were announced he was nowhere to be seen.
Now Tom has insisted that he should have been on the series and blasted stars for leaving before being voted out.

Yesterday, a spokesperson for the show said: ‘Jamie Lynn Spears has left I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds.
‘She’s been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities.’
The 32-year-old’s exit from the show comes shortly after restaurant critic and MasterChef star Grace Dent, 50, also withdrew on medical grounds.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, Tom wrote: ‘Why is everyone leaving I’m A Celeb on medical grounds? Should of had me in there.’

Tom then insisted he’d be able to handle the challenges with ease, encourage hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly to use his catchphrase, and even up the ante on some of the trials – we’re not sure the health and safety team would approve all of his ideas.

‘I’d eat a kangaroo bollex. Wrestle any snack or crocodile that came my way, dive head first out the plane without a parachute and get Ant & Dec saying Bosh the whole time I’m there. Bosh.’
Just in case I’m A Celebrity didn’t get the message that he’s keen, Tom then posted a waving hand emoji and tagged their official account.

If he does get flown across to Australia then there’s one person he’d like to see in the hammock across from him – heavyweight champion boxer Tyson Fury: ‘He’s a legend and cracks me up’.
While he hopes Gemma Collins doesn’t return. ‘She’d do your head in wouldn’t she?’
Lord Alan Sugar is someone he doesn’t forsee sleeping under the stars any time soon.
‘He would last five minutes because he’s used to luxuries. I can’t see him rolling up to the jungle in his Rolls Royce,’ he joked.
Tom also admitted to us that he would ‘struggle massively’ to be away from his young family – wife Sinéad Chambers, two-year-old son Henry, and twin daughters Roma and Darla, who are just five months old.
I’m A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
