CAMPMATES ARRIVE IN JUNGLE
FANS are convinced Amir Khan’s fear of snakes could be fake after a snap emerged of him smiling in a London club right beside one.
Amir looked at ease as a woman dangled the beast close to his face and put it round his neck.
It was an extreme contrast to his screams when he failed to complete a Bushtucker Trial after pulling out a snake.
However, after the picture went viral online, Amir’s agent contacted bosses at I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! yesterday to insist that he is “really scared” of snakes.
Speaking on This Morning yesterday, Alison Hammond said: “His agent actually contacted the show and said he’s really scared of snakes.”
While discussing the photo, she added: “As soon as you don’t want it there, you can just say get it off me.
“When you are in there with snakes, it’s actually quite scary.” SSSSTRIKING Pose in club with python Slinky Following claims that Amir had faked his fear, Georgie Leahy – the woman who owns the albino Burmese python in the picture, which is called Slinky, said that she recalled Amir being frightened.
She said: “I remember him being a bit scared of Slinky and one of the guys was like, ‘No, do it, you’ve got to get a picture’. “I do remember that he was scared – he doesn’t look it in the picture. You can tell Slinky really likes him because he’s got his tongue out. “Slinky was really excited to meet him. Most of the time because Slinky loves me so much he’d come back to me, but in this picture he’s going right for Amir!”
Although he did not manage to take back any meals for the camp on Monday night, Amir rectified the situation last night by winning a meal ticket for his pals. REDEEMED Meal ticket His armpits stunk but he now can smell success after a knockout performance in the Bushtucker Trial. Still at the heart of everything fun. Won’t be taking an early bath despite using the jungle tub. Potential finalist. Helped win brownies for camp and got a meal ticket from Amir. Hopefully Kezia will put him in his place on politics soon. A wise head. “He’s not the world welterweight champion for no reason,” she said of Amir’s Bushtucker. “I think we’re all getting stinky, we’re all trying to wash… I haven’t.” Jennie is embracing jungle life. Short on height. Short on interesting scenes. Short on good anecdotes. His time in camp could be, er, short. Very quiet in there so far. Perhaps she saves her best performances for the Saturdays. A bit of a lad. More chance of returning to Hollyoaks than Hollywood based on performance so far. Odds of her coming out tops have drifted to 40-1 with Ladbrokes. Not sure she will score a winner. Was asked to leave following allegations that he sent inappropriate messages to a female fan.
