Well that didn't take long now, did it?

“The fact is that the odds are tipped against you. They were tipped in favour of Joey from the start"

Matthew Wright, famed for being seriously outspoken (and calling Kian Egan a "scab") in the I'm A Celebrity camp, has lashed out at ITV producers for making the show "all about" Joey Essex.

And, in his interview with The Sun, the chat show host added that the show is FIXED for the TOWIE boy to walk away as the King of the Jungle.

“We’ve had three weeks of ‘all about Joey’, which gets quite boring. Every question I was asked was about Joey. If it was ‘How was your dinner?’ the next question was ‘How was Joey’s dinner?’"

“You could see he was being given special treatment. We were only allowed a few towels, but he had as many as he liked. He seemed to be able to ask for them from producers whenever he felt like it and they just dealt them out.”

“The fact is that the odds are tipped against you. They were tipped in favour of Joey from the start. He is only famous because of an ITV2 show so this is a great opportunity for them to cash in on the home-grown talent."

Ouch! And there we were thinking that Matthew hated Amy Willerton most of all.

However fans of Kian Egan will be VERY happy to hear that, despite their little spat in the jungle, Matthew is backing the Westlife singer to win. Because it will be better for society. Or something…

“I felt sorry for Kian. It feels like Joey is pre-destined to be a finalist, whereas Kian has to fight his way there. Ultimately, I think that everybody would benefit from Kian as the winner."

Do you believe Matthew Wright - is Joey Essex being primed to win by ITV producers?
