<\/p>\nI’m A Celebrity’s Tom Read Wilson’s parents have refuted his claims that they met while his father was a teacher at his mother’s school when she was 18 years old.<\/p>\n
The Celebs Go Dating star\u00a0previously shared a surprising tale about how his parents met during an episode of 8 Out Of 10 Cats.<\/p>\n
Tom, 39, who is currently appearing on the ITV show, claimed his father Crispin met his mother, Juliette, when he was around the age of 34, while she was a pupil at the school he taught at.<\/p>\n
However, long after the show aired, his parents have now clarified the real story and claimed Tom was ‘factually incorrect.<\/p>\n
They explained that the star’s mother was never a pupil at\u00a0Bradfield College where his father taught.<\/p>\n
In actual fact according to them,\u00a0Juliette, was never educated there but did grow up on the school campus and did not meet Crispin until she had turned 20.<\/p>\n
Clarifying the correct version of events, Crispin said: ‘I taught English for some years at Bradfield College. Tom’s grandfather taught French there. Tom never went to school there but grew up in a house on the campus.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Celebs Go Dating star previously shared a surprising tale about how his parents met during an episode of 8 Out Of 10 Cats (Tom’s dad pictured)<\/p>\n
‘His mother, Juliette, never went to school there but grew up in a (different) house on the campus. Some time after Juliette left school when she was 20 and at college she started a relationship with me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘In May 1986 we married and in November 1986 Tom was born.’<\/p>\n
The confusion began when an old episode of the panel show was brought to light, where Tom originally shared the story.<\/p>\n
Speaking on 8 Out Of 10 Cats back in 2024, Tom explained: ‘My father was an English teacher and that’s how I happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘My maternal grandfather taught at the same school and sometimes the eldest girls of the faculty would date the youngest teachers.’<\/p>\n
Shocked Rob Beckett interjected: ‘So your dad was a teacher there and your mum was a child there?’<\/p>\n
‘Well she was 18, coming of age.\u00a0He was 16 years her senior,’ reasoned Tom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Host Jimmy Carr then clarified: ‘He was 34 and she was 18.’<\/p>\n
Nodding his head Tom agreed as he added: ‘Yes. I never really thought about it.’<\/p>\n
His father added that Tom will also correct the narrative once he leaves the show following a successful run in the jungle.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His parents have since separated and his dad went on to remarry.<\/p>\n
Tom previously revealed, ‘I’m very close to my parents, but sadly they are now separated and my dad has remarried. My mum is a French teacher and a wonderful, zesty, rather naughty character.’<\/p>\n
When questioned by Aitch over where he gets his ‘lingo’ from, the well-spoken star attested his language to his ‘wonderful dad’.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He explained: ‘He was an English teacher and he made it into stories all the time…. I’m not a poet at all but I love the lyricism of it all.’<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Tom’s mum commented on his distinctive voice as she arrived at the airport in Australia on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She told the Daily Mail: ‘He’s very articulate. He was born with a dictionary in his mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘His father was an English teacher so that’s where he gets it from. He doesn’t get it from me unfortunately.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When questioned by Aitch over where he gets his ‘lingo’ from, the Celebs Go Dating star attested his language to his ‘wonderful dad’<\/p>\n
‘He’s always been like that which is great. Sometimes I don’t understand what he says, but yeah it is good.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
During Monday night’s episode\u00a0fans were left in absolute shock as Tom\u00a0debuted a totally different voice.<\/p>\n
As Lisa Riley asked Tom about his dating life,\u00a0Tom explained how there wasn’t much to tell, noting he can ‘find’ men but not ‘keep them’.<\/p>\n
This prompted Jack Osbourne<\/a>, 40, to quip: ‘Wait, Tom, you’re gay?’<\/p>\n Joking that he’s a ‘beacon of butch’, Tom proceeded to showcase his ‘masculine side’ by pretending to flirt with Kelly Brook<\/a>.<\/p>\n Kelly Brook asked what his ‘type’ in women would be, as he responded, in a husky voice, that the model ‘fit the bill’.<\/p>\n He added: ‘You fit the bill, you totally fit the fill babe’, much to the other campmates’ amazement.<\/p>\n Speaking later in the Bush Telegraph, Tom kept the acting going as he said: ‘You know what, that Tom character with all the fancy language, it is so exhausting. Much nicer to hang in here.’<\/p>\n During Monday night’s episode fans were left in absolute shock as Tom debuted a totally different voice\u00a0<\/p>\n Then, dropping the husky tone, Tom reverted back to his familiar voice and remarked: ‘Oh God, what’s wrong with me?’<\/p>\n Taking to social media, viewers shared their surprise over these scenes, as one wrote: ‘Tom’s manly voice is so good he’s got the nation confused on which one’s real.’<\/p>\n A second added: ‘It’s hard to tell which voice is the real Tom.’ A third shared: ‘Wait so Tom puts that high pitch voice on.’<\/p>\n Yet another fan noted how they couldn’t ‘tell if that’s Tom’s real voice or an accent’.<\/p>\n![\"During](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/104165895-15325279-Tom_Read_Wilson_shocked_I_m_A_Celebrity_fans_by_debuting_a_total-a-23_17640888305.jpeg\")
