Former professional boxer Amir Khan has suggested that he was made to look like the “bad guy” during his appearance on I’m A Celebrity<\/a>… Get Me Out Of Here. He opened up about his famous scene where he and Iain Lee were both appearing on the show in 2017.<\/p>\n

The duo were seen wolfing down a portion of strawberries and cream and not sharing them with their hunger-stricken campmates at the time. The sportsman has no insisted he never intended for the decision to eat the dish to cause drama in the camp.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAt the time, when I ate them, I thought, yeah, I\u2019m having them. I didn\u2019t know the cameras were rolling, and that people back home were going to be watching.”<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Daily Star<\/a>, he continued, \u201cSee, this is the thing, I didn\u2019t realise how big of a show I\u2019m a Celebrity was. I\u2019d never watched it before. I didn\u2019t know how the system worked.<\/p>\n

“But when I re-watched what I did, the way it was edited made me look like such a bad person, like I was doing it on purpose to upset everyone in camp. But honestly, I was just being silly, a bit boisterous. That\u2019s just who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

As he recalled the moment in a further reflection, Amir admitted it was controversial. He said: \u201cLooking back, it made me look bad. But would I do it again? I probably would. Yeah, why not? But this time, I\u2019d tell them straight: \u2018Yeah, I ate them, what are you going to do about it?\u2019<\/p>\n

“I remember there was Jamie Lomas, Georgia Toffolo<\/a>, and even Stanley Johnson, Boris Johnson<\/a> \u2019s dad. Even if I did say I ate them, I don\u2019t think they could\u2019ve done anything anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now as I’m A Celeb: All Stars is set to make a comeback, Amir has shared how he feels about doing the show twice. He said, \u201cThe first one is always harder. You\u2019re not expecting how intense, how crazy it\u2019s going to be.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re suddenly stuck with snakes and spiders, you just can\u2019t imagine they\u2019d do something like that to you. The second time, it\u2019s easier because you know what to expect.”<\/p>\n

He also shared how the first experience was more nerve wracking, but helped him to become braver. He noted that he feels the situation could be the same for fellow former boxer David Haye, who is taking part in the upcoming series of All Stars.<\/p>\n

Amir said: \u201cIf an animal bites you, you\u2019ve got a first aid team to make sure you\u2019re alright. I still took that leap even though I was scared, and it pulled me through. So, I think with David Haye going in again, he\u2019s going to smash it. He\u2019ll do much better than the first time because he knows what to expect.\u201d<\/p>\n
