Alison Hammond hopes this year’s I’m A Celebrity camp is free of any ‘rude’ stars.
The 50-year-old This Morning appeared on the ITV reality show as a late arrival back in 2010, and from the get-go she clashed with one of her campmates.
Appearing on spinoff I’m A Celebrity Unpacked after last night’s launch show, she reignited her feud with Happy Mondays singer Shaun Ryder.
‘When I went in there, I’ll never forget, I walked in and said the party’s here with my Terry’s Chocolate Orange and everyone was like [unbothered face],’ she recalled.
‘Then, Shaun Ryder hated my guts straight away. He was very rude!’

She added: ‘So hopefully there are no Shaun Ryder’s in there.’
Shaun was defended by friend Leigh Francis, who insisted ‘he’s normally really lovely’, but Alison didn’t look convinced.
The pair’s feud goes right the way back to her arrival at camp in 2010, when Shaun was immediately annoyed by the idea of another star to socialise with.
‘Oh more f**king people in the camp. And a loud person and a cheery person as well,’ he ranted in the Bush Telegraph, referencing her outgoing personality.
‘She’s probably a really nice person, don’t get me wrong. I like Alison,’ he added.
‘I like horse s**t in the country but I don’t want it in my living room. I just don’t want to go through it. I’ve done f**k all for eight days except socialise. I’m about that far from f**king off.’
He ended up staying in camp, and even made it to the final before finishing as a runner-up to Queen of the Jungle, Stacey Solomon.
A few years ago, they reportedly clashed again when they crossed paths backstage at Dancing On Ice, where she allegedly told him: ‘I never liked you. From the first minute I met you and spoke to you, I never liked you.’
He told the Daily Star at the time: ‘Ever since the jungle show, I knew Alison didn’t like me. But fair enough, nobody has to like each other. It’s not against the law.
‘When we were in the jungle I knew from day one that she didn’t like me. On [that night] I was proved right.’
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight at 9pm on ITV.
