I’m A Celeb fans accuse Naughty Boy of ‘pulling a Gemma Collins’ after threatening to quit the show

NAUGHTY Boy sensationally threatened to quit I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! during tonight’s episode – and fans have compared him to Gemma Collins.

The rapper and music producer – whose real name is Shahid Khan – has been living in ‘The Clink’ since arriving in the show – but told his fellow campmates that he wanted to leave this evening.

Fans of the show have likened the record producer to Gemma Collins who quit the show after just 72 hours back in 2014

Naughty Boy was shown to lose a task while paired up with fellow contestant David Ginola.

Following the task, the 36-year-old could be seen telling his fellow campmates in The Clink he “was done” with life in the castle – just three days in.

Fans have since flooded social media with remarks about the music producer – as some dubbed him worse than The Only Way is Essex star Gemma.

Gemma made TV gold when she joined the ITV reality series in November 2014, but she quit after just 72 hours in the Aussie outback.

Alongside a GIF of two Spiderman’s pointing at each other, one fan said: “Gemma Collins and naughty boy looking at each other like.”

Someone else said: “Naughty Boy is giving me male Gemma Collins vibes.”

While another penned: “Naughty Boy fails two tasks and wants to pull a Gemma Collins and walk. Now he’s putting the knife in the other camp saying it’s their fault.”

During tonight’s episode, the music producer admitted: “I do think my time here is done.

“I had a feeling earlier and I was thinking about mum.”

Naughty Boy turned down doing I’m A Celebrity last year to help care for his mum.

The chart-topper, 36, lives with dementia sufferer Zahida and her carer, but he could not bear to leave them during the 2020 lockdowns.

Now the hitmaker, says he wants to become King of the Castle this year for his mother.

“I was gutted I wasn’t able to do the show last year,” he said.

“We were in and out of lockdown and, with so much anxiety, it just didn’t feel like the right time.

“I had to understand dementia in a different way.”

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues nightly at 9pm on ITV.
