REVEREND RICHARD COLES

I’m A Celebrity’s Richard Coles shared his embarrᴀssing nickname on Wednesday night after fellow campmate Oti Mabuse exposed his shocking habit.

The TV personality, 62, revealed his secret moniker during a discussion around the campfire with the professional dancer, 34, and Danny Jones, 38. 

The trio were tending to the fire with Danny wafting way smoke when the discussion turned to farting. 

The Reverend asked the McFly singer and Oti whether they were ‘farters’. But before Danny could answer, Oti joked: ‘You are, you fart in your sleep, all the time!’

Laughing, Richard apologised and shared it is the origin of his nickname – Farting Father Coles. 

His admission comes after the radio presenter shared his thoughts on a former campmate.

Richard’s revelation comes after Oti joked: ‘You are, you fart in your sleep, all the time!’ 

Seemingly not one to hold back, Richard made a scathing remark about Dean McCullough, just moments after his exit from the jungle earlier this week. 

The Radio 1 DJ, 32, was the second star to be given the boot with his campmates shock reaction to his exit shown during Monday’s show.

But despite the star’s surprise, Richard quipped: ‘Who is not going to fetch our water now?’ – following Dean’s lack of help around camp sparking ‘Watergate’.

Last week Melvin Odoom, 44, was left furious by the DJ after he was left to collect water alone, after the DJ once again abandoned his chores.

When Richard hasn’t been making surprising comments, he has been taking part in Bushtucker Trials. 

And his latest saw him compete along with the remaining eight campmates for a chance to win a golden ticket to Celebrity Cyclone.

Success meant the celebrity was immune from the next two public votes and the camp was divided in to two groups with the former reverend going up against GK Barry, Danny and Coleen Rooney.

In the The Arcade of Agony, each campmate had a claw machine with balls inside and each ball contained coveted tickets.

But the twist came as the celebrities found they needed coins to operate the machine and to access them, the stars had to dig through a box filled with fish guts.

Revealing the results at the end of the episode, Ant and Dec confirmed Coleen, Danny, Maura and Oti won the most tickets and will therefore fight for immunity.   

However the immunity twist has been branded as ‘manipulative’ by viewers as they slammed the decision, arguing it has given ITV the power to decide who is in the final.

After watching the first trial, viewers also noticed the tickets weren’t counted therefore the winners weren’t revealed as they suggested it was ‘rigged.’

Taking to Twitter they furiously penned: ‘Not keen at all on this twist, all feels a bit manipulative!’;

‘#ImACeleb Why the hell have they mucked up the Cyclone this year? We, the viewers, want to choose the last 4 and who should be in the Cyclone!’

The stars were forced to wade through a box of fish guts to retrieve precious coins to operate a claw machine

‘This is an epically bad idea. We get to decide who goes to Cyclone, not some rigged up arcade game with immunity’;

‘I dont like this setup, we should be able to vote who gets into the final noooooo’; ‘Are they running out of ideas on what to do at this late stage? Why such a strange twist?’;

‘I really don’t like this new twist thing to get to the cyclone.. it should have been kept to the public to vote, to see who we actually want in the final!’;

‘tbh this twist is not great cyclone should be public voted not determined via a trial’.
