AJ Pritchard may have left I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! last night, but that hasn’t stopped Shane Richie’s son from having another dig at him.

Shane Richie Jr took to Twitter last night to say the former Strictly Come Dancing professional “winds him up”.

The former EastEnders actor and AJ had bickered in the camp over the washing up, with the dancer accusing Shane of not doing it properly.

Shane Jr has made several digs at AJ after his dad was accused of bullying his campmate, and he couldn’t resist making another when AJ left the show on Wednesday.

He tweeted: “I can’t help it , AJ winds me up. He does. I don’t really know why either #ImACeleb.”

A follower responded to him: “You don’t like it when someone slags your dad off but you think it’s OK to slag other contestants off?

“Some things are better left unsaid.”

Shane Jr fired back: “I’m not slagging him off. Christ.”

He later defended his comments, saying: “Can I just say I don’t agree with some of the comments said about AJ tonight, I’m not actually that bothered.

“He seems sound but just not my cup of tea and I’m sure he would feel the same. Now move on folks.”

AJ commented on the washing up row during his exit interview, saying: “If you’re gonna do a job, do it properly.”

When asked if it had made him frustrated, he replied: “Maybe, I’m not going to lie!”

He continued: “I think the thing is resolving problems rather than letting them fester.”
