Ant and Dec have been criticised for Dennis Wise’s exit interview on I’m A Celebrity (Picture: ITV) ..
I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec have been criticised by viewers for not questioning Dennis Wise over claims he ‘bullied’ Iain Lee in the jungle.
The Geordie duo were slammed by some fans who reckoned the pair gave former footballer Dennis too much of an ‘easy ride’ in his I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! exit interview.
Dennis, 50, left camp last night after receiving the least amount of public votes, and later had a chat with Ant and Dec about his time on the show.
But they failed to question Dennis over claims that he’s been ‘bullying’ radio host Iain, 44, along with Amir Khan, Jamie Lomas and Rebekah Vardy (who refuted the allegations after leaving the show earlier this week).
Fans were expecting a grilling and said they were ‘disappointed’ by Ant and Dec for their line of questioning.
Although Ant & Dec went soft on @denniswise on exit interview at least they gave him plenty of airtime to explain in his arrogant way why HE decided HE would LET Iain do the trial. Who died and made you god? #ImACeleb

I agree, can’t believe @antanddec didn’t ask Dennis wise any of the questions that everyone wanted asking. Cop out. #ImACeleb

The Iain Lee ‘bullying’ saga continued on Thursday night’s episode of the ITV show when Amir Khan told Iain: ‘On a serious note, when you came in you did f**k a lot of things up.’

Iain later branded the boxer an ‘asshole’ for his comments in the Bush Telegraph.
Dennis’ eviction follows Shappi Korsandi, who was the first evictee of the series, leaving the camp on Friday, while MSP Kezia Dugdale left on Sunday night.
