The Loose Women panel jumped to the defence of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here’s Jane Moore after she slammed new camp leasers Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones

The Loose Women ladies were quick to discuss Jane Moore’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here antics after Ant and Dec criticised her comments.

Jane, who is a panellist on the hit ITV talk show, hit out at campmates Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones after they were named new camp leaders. They immediately gave Jane, 62, washing up duties after a shift around in camp roles.

The panel consisted of Charlene White, Judi Love, Frankie Bridge and Coleen Nolan. Charlene said Jane just wants to be involved, while Judi said: “I can tell from Jane she definitely wants to do a trial. She is hands on. She’ll get in there… Jane is just like ‘I’ll do whatever needs to get done.”

Coleen said Jane “not one to handle boredom” and is desperate to do a trial. “She’s gone in there because she wants to do it,” insisted Frankie before saying that when she was put on fire duty during her jungle adventure she felt like she “didn’t exist”. As she opened up on her own gender issues experience, she said: “It does become a bit of a thing”. However, she said she didn’t feel like Danny or Barry meant anything by it in the current series.

On Sunday’s show, Danny said: “I think we have to put Jane on washing up but the only thing I want to say is have we gone a bit male heavy on the strenuous jobs?’. But Barry replied: “I think that’s a fair comment but I don’t think they’d thank us after a few days.”

However, she was far from impressed and called their decision ageist and sexist. She was then seen throughout the episode huffing and puffing about her new role in camp.

Geordie duo Ant and Dec weren’t convinced with Jane’s outburst as they opened up on the tensions that were brewing Down Under. Ant said: “I think she is being a bit unfair by saying it’s sexist and ageist. I think they were just trying to do a good job in allocating fairly, if I’m honest.”

Dec was of the same opinion as he replied: “Yes, I agree. I feel for Barry, he was only trying to do his best.” Ant added: “Poor little Barry.”

Fans of the series had other ideas, though, claiming she may have made the comments in a bid to ensure she got more air time. While she has been on hand to offer a sound ear to give advice, or a compassionate shoulder to cry on, she has not been selected for any trials as of yet.

That’s in stark contrast to radio DJ Dean McCullough, who has constantly been voted to suffer in the Bushtucker Trials. On two occasions he’s yelled ‘I’m a celebrity, get me out of here’ and Ant has urged viewers to stop voting for him.
