Was Jane Moore’s ‘sexist and ageist’ reaction on I’m A Celeb unfair? Vote in our poll

Tensions in camp almost reached breaking point last night after Jane Moore was assigned washing up duty by the new leaders Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones – but did the Loose Women star go too far?

Loose Women panellist Jane Moore branded Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones “sexist and ageist” after being tasked with a new chore during last night’s I’m A Celebrity – and we want to hear your thoughts on her reaction.

The latest episode saw former boxer Barry and McFly star Danny be named camp leaders following a public vote, meaning they get to sleep in the luxury lodge. As part of their new roles, the pair had to delegate duties to their fellow campmates – but not everyone was pleased with their allocation.

The pair handed Jane and Tulisa Contostavlos washing up duty, camp maintenance to Coleen Rooney and Maura Higgins, and wood collection to GK Barry and Alan Halsall. Meanwhile, Melvin Odoom and Dean McCullough were assigned water duty, while Oti Mabuse and Reverend Richard Coles were tasked with cooking.

However, an irritated Jane was quick to accuse the camp leaders of sexism, as she fumed: “Oh what? Is that because we’re women?” In response, Barry explained that he wanted to give her an easier task because she is 62, to which she then accused him of being ageist.

She complained that her only request was that she wasn’t on cleaning duties, telling Danny: “Those were my last words as you walked past me, ‘please not cleaning’, and you’ve given me cleaning.” She continued: “I’m not upset, I’m just saying it’s women doing the washing up again,” and later expressed: “It seems much like the 1950s.” While the ITV star insisted that she was just “winding him up”, many viewers were not convinced.

Taking to X, one fan penned: “Jane is such a winger, for no reason, you’re on a show luv, and now you realise you’ve gone too far you’re pretending you were joking!!” While another echoed: “Jane having a hissy fit over doing the dishes! Calling the ageist card! Do me a favour.”

“Really wishing I voted Jane for a trial, going on like a child over a bit of washing up,” vented a third. It also sparked a reaction from Ant and Dec as they reflected on the tensions after the show.

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 replied: “Yes, I agree. I feel for Barry, he was only trying to do his best,” to which Ant added: “Poor little Barry.”

While some viewers are convinced the Loose Women star may have been trying to cause anger from viewers in the hope they would then nominate her for a trial, we want to know if you think Jane’s comments were “unfair.” Vote in our poll HERE to have your say.
