I’m A Celebrity’s AJ Pritchard says he’s “really worried” that Matty Lee will be the first to leave the Castle this year
AJ Pritchard tells RadioTimes.com that "we haven't really even seen" Matt Lee.
AJ Pritchard has weighed in on whether the new series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! is sidelining contestant Matty Lee.
Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com, Pritchard, who starred in last year's I'm A Celebrity, said he was disappointed Richard Madeley had left the series so soon - and that he's "really worried" Olympic diver Matty Lee will be among the first celebrities voted out.
"The person I kept saying to everyone I wanted to see the most was Richard, and then suddenly he was gone before he was there. So I was a bit disappointed about that," the former Strictly Come Dancing pro said.
"I'm really worried that on this first eviction, you're going to lose someone like Matty Lee, who we haven't really even seen on TV. I want to see more of him, more of his personality."
Asked what advice he'd give Lee, he said: "I think the best bit of advice is enjoy it, be inquisitive, and just speak to everybody really, that's what needs to happen."
