Oh dear! Beverley Callard was left humiliated on Tuesday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity after she called Vernon Kay’s axed show Splash! ‘stupid’

Talking about Splash!, Beverley didn’t hold back as she called it the ‘most stupid programme ever’.
Yet the actress was soon left humiliated as the campmates reminded her that Vernon used to host the show.
Responding to her remark, Vernon quipped: ‘It kept my central heating on though Beverley!’
