ITV slam Lady C bullying claims as they back Duncan Bannatyne and Tony Hadley

]
In a statement following Lady C's explosive interview a spokesperson for ITV has said "no one who has left the camp so far has said she was bullied"

ITV has blasted Lady Colin Campbell 's claims she was mistreated in I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here .

The 66-year-old socialite had slammed producers of the show for not giving her an orthopaedic bed that was promised to her during her stint.

And since leaving the jungle, Lady C has threatened to take Tony Hadley and Duncan Bannatyne to court after she said they "bullied" her.

But it now appears that ITV are fully backing the two men in regards to these claims, saying it was Lady C "who resorted to name calling and offensive remarks".

A spokesperson for ITV responded to Lady C's comments including her comments that she was bullied by Tony and Duncan - insisting that no one else had expressed any worry about the way she was treated in camp.

The statement read: "Producers responded fully to Lady C's medical requirements by giving her the camouflaged bed which viewers saw was placed on her bed and by giving her a hard backed chair to sit in that was also featured on the show.

"As has always been the case what viewers see is a fair and accurate representation of what goes on in camp."

Referring to the bullying: "No-one who has left the camp so far has said she was being bullied.

"Indeed, it was Lady C who resorted to name calling and offensive remarks in her exchanges with Duncan and Tony."

In regards to her walking away with her full £70,000 fee the statement finished: "We cannot divulge contractual information about our celebrities.'

Lady C said in her interview with the Mail on Sunday, that the way she was treated by Tony and Duncan in the jungle brought back memories of childhood bullying, and claimed the show's psychiatrist had also "made the connection" meaning there could be potential for "real damage" and a "massive lawsuit".

"It is quite clear that Duncan and Tony were not going to desist and ITV could not shut them up without violating their right to talk freely on the show," she said.

"So that is the real reason I left. They wanted me out because they could not protect me. They needed to get me out."

After explaining that she visited the show's psychiatrists up to "several times a day" to complain about bullying, she said that the only way to get something done was to threaten the channel with legal action.

"In the end I pointed out that I was going to take steps. I realised that the button to press was legal, and my goodness did it work."

Despite walking from the show before being voted out, because Lady C left on medical grounds she has been allowed to keep her full fee.

to summarise

Whilst the younger members were scared of her and initially thought she was awesome, the older ones were not intimidated and saw straight thru her. When she was called out on her behaviour by them she pulled out the bullying card to try and paper-over her disgusting behavoir.

No one was fooled and she remains a quite vile old hag

Can a mod change the title please? It should be ITV at the beginning not just TV.

[Ross.]

No Lady C for all stars then

[Kazanne]

Money grabbing old bint,would sell her soul for a fiver,the only bully in there was her,and we all know it really.

ITV have a brand to protect, they are not going to confirm that they sat back and did nothing in the interests of ratings and advertising, they might find it hard to attract campmates for future series if they agreed she had been badly treated, the key here is she kept her fee....

Cheers. I never knew that.

[LeatherTrumpet]

number of campmates who will agree with her when this is finished...

Spoiler:

none

[Calderyon]

Case closed then.

I do not believe she was bullied and it seems none of the other camp mates (other than the one with an agenda).

[Denver]

Lying bastards

[tt4079]

I believe she thinks she was bullied but she was not. A very difficult woman that most people would find hard to get on with in that environment. I think the ones that got on with her were intimidated by her and therefore didn't want to get on the wrong side of her.

[Cherie]

So they are saying she walked? Why pay her fee then

[waterhog]

[reece(:]

She deserves a bonus on her fee for being the most entertaining campmate ever

[Tarryn]

She thought all campmates would bow down to her & when some did not she cries "bullies". Awful person.

[erinp5]

Well... they are hardly going to agree with her that they?

It was probably easier to pay her to get rid of her for them

Same could be said the other way round,if she didn't have Tony and Duncan to pick on doubt she'de have got so much air time,she needed them for her sympathy card vote.

Easier in what sense if she had no case then ta ta

[jaxie]

I think she was volatile sometimes but I think it was provoked. It was two to one and I do think they influenced a lot of the other campmates as well. I think she was treated poorly.

With regard tony, what a pig. All his remarks about wearing a bell boy hat being beneath him basically was like saying anyone who has to do that job was beneath him. Not everyone can sing, some people have to earn their living that way. In fact on the QM2 its a proud tradition.
