David: I have to compromise my humour

Rex Features

David Van Day has claimed that he has to compromise his sense of humour in order to avoid conflict with the other I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestants.

The former Dollar singer admitted to Esther Rantzen that he is struggling to deal with some of his fellow campmates.

He told her that they have not welcomed him and Timmy Mallett since their late entrance into the jungle.

"It's annoying. You've got to compromise your humour then, haven't you?" he said.

She responded: "For some reason every word you've said to Nicola [McLean] she understands as some sort of attack or insult. I should think it but not say it only because she’s bubbling like a pan and any minute it’s going to spill over."

However, David said he is determined not to hide from the other contestants or make them think that he is avoiding them.

"I don’t believe in running away," he told Esther.
