Shane Richie's son slams 'I'm A Celeb 2020' bullying claims
I’m A Celeb 2020 star Shane Richie’s son Shane Nolan has blasted ‘vile comments’ fans have made online about his dad ‘bullying’ campmate AJ Pritchard. He also suggested that ITV have edited the show to cause tension when there may not be any real disagreements between Shane and AJ.

The biggest tensions seem to be between ex-EastEnders actor Shane Richie and former Strictly Come Dancing professional AJ Pritchard after the pair have had disagreements over washing up–culminating in Shane throwing his dirty plate on the floor.

The 31-year-old, whose mum is Loose Women star Coleen Nolan, took to Twitter to express how he feels about the accusations made about his dad.
