I’m A Celeb 2018: Lisa and David Oldfield slammed by campmates
WITHIN minutes of Lisa and David Oldfield entering I’m A Celeb, they were slammed as “racist,” “professionally annoying,” and “d**kheads” - and all by their fellow campmates.
LISA and David Oldfield’s entry into I’m A Celeb has had an immediate negative effect on at least a couple of their new campmates, who have wasted no time in slamming the publicity-hungry couple.
Last night Ten announced Real Housewives of Sydney star Lisa and her former One Nation politician husband David would be entering the jungle, prompting an angry social media backlash from viewers - and Monday night, it was much the same reaction from their campmates when the pair arrived in camp.
Retired AFL player Joh Gibson and comedian Peter Rowsthorn fled the group within minutes of the Oldfields arriving, venting their disgust at their new campmates they went.
“He is a dickhead. I can see it already. I thought we said a ‘no idiot’ policy,” Gibson fumed.
“They are both total idiots,” said Rowsthorn.
“Well, we knew they were going to try and send somebody in to rough us up. There they are. I am telling you right now, I will start on him. Fi [Fiona O’Loughlin] said he is a racist, do you know anything about him?” asked Gibson.
Rowsthorn told his campmate that David “just says dumb stuff all the time,” while Lisa’s job is to be “professionally annoying.”
He also fumed about David’s opener when introducing himself at camp: “Is Kimmy here?”, a reference to Rowsthorn’s best known role on Kath and Kim.
“Only drunk people say that to me… Total fool.”
Gibson appeared unaware of Oldfield’s controversial political past as the co-founder of the One Nation party with Pauline Hanson, but said he wanted to know why O’Loughlin would’ve already warned him that he was a racist.
“I just want to know why Fi said he is a racist, if that’s the case, mate, look out,” he warned.
On social media, viewers vented even more anti-Oldfield sentiments than the night before:
ok but josh and peter talking shit about the new camp mates was the best thing ever #ImACelebrityAU
