Hollie Arnold MBE’s brother appeared on Good Morning Britain today to defend her for frequently mentioning her MBE on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!.
The British Paralympian, who competes in the F46 javelin category, has been trolled by viewers of the ITV show for mentioning the fact she has an MBE on numerous occasions.
The 26-year-old’s brother Ashley and mum Jill appeared on GMB today to talk to hostsRichard Arnold about Hollie’s time on the show so far.
And it wasn’t long before they got on to the topic of her rightfully very proud MBE with Richard bringing it up.

After much public comment, Richard asked her family members: “I have to clear this up. When she’s at home does she always refer to herself as her full title, Hollie Arnold MBE?”
He added: “I mean, it’s a great surname.”
Laughing, Ashley replied: “No, no she doesn’t. She actually never says it at all which is funny really.
“But I know if I had an MBE I would be saying it all the time if we went to a restaurant or even in the supermarket.”

Richard replied laughing: “Quite right there. My full title is Richard Arnold and that’s it because no one wants to claim or be related to me.”
Hollie’s mum joked back: “We’ll be related to you Richard. Don’t worry.”
Richard replied: “Hahaha I’m sure we might well be distant. We may well be.”
It comes after Hollie’s campmate Vernon Kay complained about having a “one armed” animal to eat at dinner time – causing her to hit back.
Vernon said: “We had one of the best meals – if not the best meal – we have had so far.
“Everybody was over the moon with the little snappers.”
Vernon was then seen complaining about having a “one armed” one – and Hollie hit back: “Don’t knock it.”
“Touche,” said Vernon, adding: “That was very funny Hollie. I doth my cap.”
