James Haskell scalded his foot carrying hot water through the ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ camp.
The former rugby star was helping Caitlyn Jenner with the washing up during Tuesday’s (26.11.19) episode of the ITV reality show, when the water jug he was carrying slipped and pouring scalding water onto his boot, leaving the top of his foot "blistered".
Speaking to Caitlyn before heading back to camp, he explained: "The hot water just slipped out and poured right into my boot, I couldn’t get my boot off in time and it’s blistered the front of my foot."
James is currently the leader of the camp and shouldn’t be taking part in camp chores, but agreed to help Caitlyn after comedian Andrew Maxwell – who should be on washing up duty with the 70-year-old star – decided to take a nap after managing to win 10 out of 12 meals for the camp in the Bush Tucker Trial.
And although James was happy to do the washing up, ex-footballer Ian Wright slammed Andrew for slacking on his chores.
He said the Bush Telegraph: "OK so you’ve got the 10 stars what are you coming back and going to sleep for, you’ve got a 70 year old woman who is ready to work and you are meant to be working with her, do it with her and then rest.
"James is our leader, he’s too nice and he’s gone down there with two buckets of hot water and scalded his foot because he didn’t do his job and just lead."
He then told his fellow campmates: "I’m having to hold myself in now it’s as well I’m not the leader because this wouldn’t be happening, he’d be down there doing it. We are grateful for the ten stars but at the same time you can’t get the stars and clock off or there would be anarchy. I don’t know how I’m going to let this lie. If this was in our football team you can’t see someone clock off because they’ve done a fantastic thing."
Ian enlisted the help of Roman Kemp to replace the washing up, and the pair purposefully made more noise than needed in order to wake up Andrew.
And the football star then told him: "James went to help with the dishes and what I’m saying is that because you got the stars, Caitlyn wanted to do it [washing up] and you went to sleep and you didn’t do your job. We have so much time to sleep. Do you understand what I’m saying?"
Andrew was understanding of the trouble he’d caused, and agreed he would do his chores in the future.
