After Christopher Biggins called her “vile,” I’m A Celebrity star Janice Dickinson sought to clarify the situation.
The 68-year-old former judge of America’s Next Top Model, who will be participating in I’m A Celebrity South Africa, has spoken out in response to the 74-year-old Upstairs, Downstairs actor’s ‘terrible’ rumours.
The seventh season of the original ITV programme featured Janice and the presenter of Surprise Surprise, with the model finishing in second place and Christopher winning the competition.
But after returning from Australia, Christopher called Janice “vile” and said “she didn’t do anything” in a previously unaired appearance on Loose Women. On an earlier edition of Kate Thornton’s podcast White Wine Question Time, he also referred to her as “vulgar.”
Shaun Ryder and Janice came on Good Morning Britain on Friday to talk about Janice’s recent time on I’m A Celeb and the accusations Christopher made about her behaviour there.
Before bringing up Christopher, hosts Kate Garraway and Adil Ray had questioned her about why she had chosen to return to the Juggernaut series.
She continued: ‘I hung out until almost the very end and I placed second [it was] Christopher Biggins and myself [in the final].
‘Christopher Biggins is very naughty because he’s been saying bad things about me in the press so I just have to say that I am not vulgar.’
‘Shaun will tell you I’m not vulgar,’ she said.

In a recent interview for the forthcoming season of I’m A Celebrity, Janice said that the ‘vultures’ who crowded her bed left her feeling afraid.
She revealed: ‘Some birds were landing by my cot, I think they were vultures. Huge black birds, going’ – here she did a fairly impressive imitation of a squawk – ‘right by my ear.
‘I was scared they were going to peck my eyes out or something. I was sleeping under my sleeping bag with the zipper all the way up to my head, feeling that something’s going to crawl into my bed at night. It’s quite scary.’
