JUNGLE SEX PEST GROPED ME DOWN UNDER
NICOLA’S FURY OVER HER JUNGLE SPANKS
I’M A Celebrity was rocked by sleaze allegations last night.
Ex-model Nicola McLean claims a fellow Jungle star smacked her bum and groped her. “It was very sexually inappropriate,” she said.
I’M A Celeb star Nicola McLean claimed she was groped live on TV.
The model says fellow campmate David Van Day spanked her bum and tried to kiss her – and thought he could do it because she was a glamour model.
The incident came when the pair, who were arch rivals on the show in 2008, had to perform a challenge together.
They were tasked with washing a car, which involved stripping down to their swimwear.
The 36-year-old claimed “no-one batted an eyelid” as the veteran Dollar singer smacked her bottom by a waterfall.
She said: “He thought it was appropriate to spank my bum and try to kiss me.
“His behaviour was very strange and made me feel so uncomfortable.
“I’d gone from arguing non-stop with this man, who was old enough to be my father, to having his hands on my body when I was wearing my bikini.
“It was very sexually inappropriate and he even said: ‘I’m a hot blooded male and I can see two things I like.’” She revealed she felt “uncomfortable” about his behaviour at the time but was terrified to speak out. The mum-of-two said: “I felt like I couldn’t say anything because if I’d said I felt vulnerable and didn’t like it, people would have thought I was being dramatic. “I was worried about work and whether people would hire me again. I didn’t want to cause a fuss.” The glamour girl said she had been encouraged to come forward after the sex abuse allegations involving Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein. She said: “More people are speaking out now about harassment and abuse – people who didn’t have a voice now have a voice. “What was happening in Hollywood is absolutely disgusting.” Last night spokesmen for both ITV and David Van Day, 60, were unavailable for comment.
