Shane Richie’s son Shane Jnr has hit back at claims his dad is playing a game on I’m A Celebrity – and blasted other contestants as “boring”.
The former EastEnders star has been criticised on social media for moaning and some viewers have also suggested he is acting for the cameras to try to look good and win votes.
Proud son Shane Nolan, 31, said: “I love the relationships he is having in there with Vernon and Jordan.
“It is horrible to see online people saying my dad is playing a game. What are you f**king on about that my dad is playing a game? If any of you know him, you know he is not playing a game.
“You would come back thinking you are the bee’s knees after winning 12 stars, I would.
“It is 2020 people just love to moan. It is hard to read though.”
Referring to his row with AJ Pritchard over cleaning the pans, Shane added: “He ain’t gonna be everyone’s cup of tea, I know that. But when it is unjust and you see people slate your dad it is hard.

“Granted he cannot clean, my step mum will vouch for that and everyone can vouch for that. AJ was a little b**ch talking about him, back off. But he probably could have done better.
“He didn’t do the washing up properly, So what? He did get on my tits a bit AJ.”
Shane, who is also the son of Coleen Nolan from Shane’s first marriage, is hosting a nightly show on his social media page where he speaks to fans.

During his broadcasts, he urges them to vote for his dad when the times comes, in an attempt to propel him to be king of the jungle.
Previously he was encouraging people to vote for his dad to have to do trials but thinks he has suffered enough now.
Talking about other characters on the show, he said: “There are some of them you don’t get to see.
“We haven’t seen Russell since he came in and the MBE Paralympian [Hollie]. Do you know why? Because they are f**king boring. That is why.”
Looking ahead, he added: “I think my dad is top three [finalist] at the minute but there is a lot of hate online. If he came out now I would tell him he has done me proud.
“Even if he went out first now I would be chuffed with him and I don’t think he is going to go out first. Please vote for him to stay in, even if you have to spend a few quid. I will buy you a drink.”
