'Celeb' bosses 'worry over Bugner exit'

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! producers fear that the show's ratings will suffer following Joe Bugner's departure from the jungle, a report has claimed.

The outspoken contestant, who rowed with Sabrina Washington and Kim Woodburn during his time in camp, was eliminated at the weekend after losing out to actor Stuart Manning in the jungle jail trial.

An insider told The Sun: "Joe leaving was the last thing bosses wanted. He has been the centre of attention and has helped to create quite a few arguments.

"Stuart's a nice guy but is seriously dull. They can't have the interesting people picked off."

The programme's production team is already said to be blaming Katie Price's exit for a recent drop in viewing figures.

Reflecting on Bugner's fate, the source added: "Ratings might tumble even further."
