I’m A Celebrity 2020: Vernon Kay reveals someone’s been ‘sprinkling’ in the privy

They’ve been adapting to their new surroundings, with the state of the toilet facilities often being a hot topic of conversation.

And Vernon Kay, 46, has now revealed that the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp has found itself with a ‘phantom dribbler’.

Chatting about the privy during Monday’s episode, the TV presenter and his fellow contestants ended up joking that the culprit was Shane Richie, 56.

What a mess! Vernon Kay revealed on Monday’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! that the Welsh camp has found itself with a ‘phantom dribbler’ who ‘sprinkles’ in the privy

Vernon said: ‘We have a phantom dribbler in camp and someone has been sprinkling when they tinkle and it’s caused quite a stir.’

The mystery came up after Shane said he went to the privy in the middle of the night and someone had dribbled before him. 

Jordan North, 30, who was accused of urinating on the floor during Friday’s show, said he certainly wasn’t the phantom dribbler, joking it was Shane.

Talking in the Telegraph, Shane said: ‘I’ve had a dodgy stomach and the last thing anyone will do is stand when they go to the toilet.’ 

Could it be? Several of the campmates joked that Shane Richie was the culprit, however the actor insisted it couldn't be him

Victoria Derbyshire, 52, then joined in the chat saying she’d been to the privy after Shane and noticed the floor was wet. 

Soap star Beverley Callard, 63, also agreed with Victoria that the phantom dribbler was Shane.

Talking about the continued mystery, Vernon said: ‘It is a bit awkward, how do you teach people over 25 years old how to pee.’ 

Later on in the show Jordan was seen cleaning the privy while Vernon showed him how to do it properly.

The topic of the toilet also came up again when Mo Farah and Giovanna Fletcher were attempting to get their prize from Kiosk Cledwyn. 

Kiosk Cledwyn called the camp and AJ answered the phone, posing the question ‘what percentage of Brits flush the toilet with the seat down a/43 per cent or b/28 per cent’.

The camp chose 28 per cent which was wrong so Kiosk Cledwyn slammed the shutter down on Mo and Giovanna – meaning no chocolate eclairs for the camp. 

It comes after AJ Pritchard accused Jordan of leaving urine all over the floor in Friday’s show.

The dancer, 26, admitted he was ‘annoyed’ the DJ wouldn’t own up to leaving a mess in the Privy, leading Jordan to clean it up. 

At the start of the show, Shane woke up with stomach cramps and rushed to use the Privy, leading Jordan to suggest it needed a good clean.

Victoria noted it wasn’t the seat that needed cleaning as someone had left urine across the floor, leading Vernon to joke one of the celebrities had a ‘really bad aim.’

After Jordan left the room, AJ claimed it was Jordan who was leaving urine on the privy floor, but Victoria hit back they had no evidence of that so shouldn’t say it. 

AJ said ‘Yesterday, me, Shane and Mo waited around to see after everyone went into the toilet and checked.’

A shocked Victoria said ‘Did you?!’ leading AJ to reply: ‘It really annoyed me because every guy was saying it wasn’t them.’

Jordan headed off to clean out The Privy, while Shane told Beverley he was tired as he’d been on the toilet all night.  

Beverley confessed she didn’t like going to the Privy when everyone was in the courtyard so she asked them to sing a song whilst she went in. 

The celebrities broke into a rendition over Over the Rainbow as Beverley went in, and she came out saying how impressed she was with the clean Privy.
