Heidi Montag has accused a US television presenter of attacking her in a live interview to discuss her exit from I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!.

The Hills star and husband Spencer Pratt were appearing on The Today Show when journalist Al Roker asked whether they were proud of their behaviour in the Costa Rican jungle.

Speaking on Ryan Seacrest's radio show following the interview, she said: "I was shocked at how rude he was. I was crying afterwards because I felt personally attacked because he was yelling and saying, 'Do you feel proud of this?'

"To be honest, I wouldn't be interviewed by him again. And I'd advise women to be careful around him because I feel like he definitely attacked me and I didn't deserve that at all."

Roker responded on his Twitter account, writing: "Heidi and Spencer are an interesting couple. Famous for... being infamous. Bad and vacuous behaviour. I think we're at minute 11 of their 15."

Montag and Pratt caused controversy on the NBC show by threatening to quit three times before finally departing the camp after Montag contracted a stomach illness. ITV was later forced to deny allegations that the couple had been "tortured" during their stay in the jungle.
