I'm A Celeb row spills onto Loose Women after Jane Moore brands campmate sexist and ageist
A row over Jane Moore's treatment on I'm A Celeb spilled over onto ITV's Loose Women
A row over Jane Moore's treatment on I'm A Celeb spilled over onto Loose Women.
Jane, who was a panellist on the show before entering the jungle, received support from her co-stars after a dispute arose in the camp when she was assigned the task of washing dishes. To add to this, Jane, 62, hasn't been given any trials in the camp so far.
Janet Street Porter, unhappy with Jane's lack of trials and the fact that she was assigned the task of washing up, said: "I said to you earlier Coleen, I was a bit unhappy about how they edited about Jane and washing up. When you're in I'm A Celebrity, everything you say is being recorded and you have no control of what people at home are seeing about you.
"The only way you can validate yourself, make yourself feel good about being on the show is to do the trial." Janet added: “I think it's really tough and sit around that campfire and be someone who hasn't participated in a trial. You feel like the second division." Janet, 77 competed on I'm A Celeb in 2004, where she spent 17 days in the Australian jungle.
Jane branded Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones "sexist and ageist" after being tasked with the chore of washing dishes during Monday night’s I'm A Celebrity episode. Barry and McFly star Danny were named camp leaders following a public vote, meaning they got to sleep in the luxury lodge. As part of their new roles, the pair had to delegate duties to their fellow campmates - but Jane was not pleased with their allocation.
The pair handed Jane and Tulisa Contostavlos washing up duty, camp maintenance to Coleen Rooney and Maura Higgins, and wood collection to GK Barry and Alan Halsall. Meanwhile, Melvin Odoom and Dean McCullough were assigned water duty, while Oti Mabuse and Reverend Richard Coles were tasked with cooking.
However, an annoyed Jane quickly accused the camp leaders of sexism, saying, "Oh what? Is that because we’re women?" In response, Barry explained that he gave her the easier task because she is 62, which led Jane to accuse him of being ageist.
She complained that her only request was that she wasn't on cleaning duties, telling Danny: "Those were my last words as you walked past me, 'please not cleaning', and you've given me cleaning." She continued: "I'm not upset, I'm just saying it's women doing the washing up again," and later expressed: "It seems much like the 1950s." While the ITV star insisted that she was just "winding him up", many viewers were not convinced.
Taking to X, one fan penned: "Jane is such a whinger, for no reason, you’re on a show luv, and now you realise you’ve gone too far you’re pretending you were joking!!" While another echoed: "Jane having a hissy fit over doing the dishes! Calling the ageist card! Do me a favour."
"Really wishing I voted Jane for a trial, going on like a child over a bit of washing up," vented a third. It also sparked a reaction from Ant and Dec as they reflected on the tensions after the show.
Ant said: "I think she is being a bit unfair by saying it’s sexist and ageist. I think they were just trying to do a good job in allocating fairly, if I’m honest." Dec replied: "Yes, I agree. I feel for Barry, he was only trying to do his best," to which Ant added: "Poor little Barry."
