I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Janice Dickinson has criticised Christopher Biggins as “naughty” after he branded her “vulgar” during an interview.
The 68-year-old American model and TV personality appeared in the seventh series of the ITV show in 2007, finishing runner-up to Biggins.
She is now returning for an all-stars series in South Africa, which has already been recorded.
Appearing on Good Morning Britain alongside Shaun Ryder, another contestant in the upcoming series, she hit back at the performer.
She said: “I had a blast the first time in Australia. I really did. I hung out almost until the end. I placed second. It was Christopher Biggins and myself.
“Christopher is very naughty because he has been saying bad things about me in the press, so I just have to say that I am not vulgar.”
Turning to her fellow guest, she added: “Sean will tell you I am not vulgar” to which the Happy Mondays frontman replied: “Oh, no you are not vulgar, Janice. That’s me.”
During an appearance on the White Wine Question Time podcast in January 2022, Biggins described her as “the most hideous woman I have ever met in my life”.
He added: “She is certainly not on my Christmas card list, I can tell you.”
The upcoming series of I’m A Celebrity will feature TV presenter Carol Vorderman, Diversity dance troupe star Jordan Banjo and former Coronation Street actress Helen Flanagan.
I’m A Celebrity… South Africa is set to air on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm on April 24.
