I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! cast are ‘fame-obsessed’ stars

The stars on the current season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia have been branded as ‘nasty, rude, and fame-obsessed’.

A TV insider told Daily Mail Australia, this year’s celebrities are far more interested in ‘clout chasing’ than in forming the bonds that past participants have cherished.

‘The conditions are obviously horrific but nearly every other season the celebrities have formed bonds that have lasted many years after the winner has been crowned,’ the insider said.

However, the on-set source claimed this is ‘not going to be the case for many of the current batch of celebrities.’

They also said the divide between those chasing fame and those genuinely engaging with the experience is palpable.

‘Many of the celebs found themselves caught between who they are on camera and who they are when the spotlight is off them.’

The insider also claimed a leaked conversation has exposed a ‘cool group’ within the jungle, reportedly ostracising Denise Drysdale, Candice Warner, Peter Daicos, Tristan McMannus, Stephen K Amos, and Callum Hole.

‘The source close to the show wouldn’t name names but the fact that so many other remaining celebs were obviously left off that list speaks volumes.’

Some contestants including Kahn Ong, Skye Wheatley, and Brittany Hockley have also reportedly received mixed reactions from their fellow contestants.

The participants have also come under fire for their behaviour, with some labelled as ‘rude, condescending, ageist, and not what they seem.’

‘They are the most fame-obsessed group to be formed and it is very unattractive,’ the source claimed.

They also said the celebrities have been split and ‘the two team challenge will never be seen again on the show.’

Meanwhile, Callum Hole has emerged as a beacon of genuine character, with many inside and outside the camp believing he deserves to win.

‘Callum deserves to win as he has really stepped back from what would have been an obvious alliance. He is just a genuine honest man who has been raised by good people,’ the insider claimed.

Echoing this was AFL legend Peter Daicos who has since praised Callum’s influence, saying: ‘He brings great value… He deserves to win.’
