Pat Sharp's scam comes home to roost on I’m A Celebrity


Never a truer thing was said by ‘Corrie's Antony Cotton on ‘I’m A Celebrity’, when he was heard to remark of a certain Pat Sharp: “There’s a reason that Pat’s not been on TV for 10 years – he’s a massive kn*b.”

The 80s DJ rubbed many people up the wrong way with his baiting of Lorraine and her beloved bear Tedward the other night, but then crowed out a bit too long and a bit too loud that it was all a brilliantly clever scam to get the public to vote him into doing the Bushtucker Trial so he could win stars for the camp.

Of course it was, Pat. Whatever you say.

Sharp maintained a tedious poker face throughout his Head Trip trial, and even when he was gunged during Beat The Bugs. His expression screamed 'Hey, guys, I'm not bothered,' yet he was clearly pretty grumpy about the whole business.

He made Crissy cross too, saying in earshot that Emily would need to make sure she performed the Beat The Bugs task well. Crissy now patently hates Pat, and the rest of her team, who she thinks are ageist. Jessica described Pat as being like Marmite. True, perhaps, except that some people like Marmite.

He did win 11 stars, mind, which he was extremely pleased with himself about, but has now been voted to do another one. More of those on the way...

Elsewhere, Antony and Fatima clashed again over, guess what, the cooking. Mark and the blue team messed up the portion sizes, leaving nothing much to go with the crocodile tails that Pat brought home.

“Fatima still thinks she's in the Olympics, even arguing she seems to think is an Olympic sport,” said Antony.

Oddly, for a hardened Olympic athlete, Fatima blubbed as she brought home the bacon in Beat The Bugs, getting the orange team out of the Sin Bin. She blamed 'the pressure' of the task for the waterworks. It seems trying to win medals for your country pales in comparison to shovelling bugs into a box held by Sinitta. Who knew?
