Martin Lewis on Twitter
The popular ITV show finally returned to our screens on Sunday night and it did not disappoint.
After two years in Wales, fans were overjoyed to see the 10 new contestants make their way into the iconic Aussie jungle.
But it seems fellow celeb Martin wasn’t too impressed.
What did Martin Lewis say about I’m A Celeb?
Taking to Twitter during the first episode, Martin slammed the celebs who claim they ‘don’t know’ what they’re doing on the show, saying the comment left him ‘rolling his eyes’.
The 50-year-old also revealed to his 1.9 million followers that he had turned down appearing on the show ‘more than once’ and would ‘never’ take part.
He wrote: “I do roll my eyes when I hear ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here’ on #ImACeleb. It’s an entertainment TV booking.
“You’re on there for one or more of… 1) a paycheque 2) to boost your profile 3) to rehabilitate your image. Simples.”
Martin was also asked if he’d do the show himself, to which the Good Morning Britain presenter explained he’d turned down the offer multiple times.
Nope,” he responded to a fan’s question. “Said no more than once.”
“Enjoy watching the show. Wouldn’t enjoy being on it,” he added.
