THE LAST SUPPER
I’m A Celebrity’s Iain Lee and Jamie Lomas make peace as they enjoy final feast with Georgia Toffolo
IAIN Lee and Jamie Lomas put their tense relationship behind them in the final episode of I’m A Celeb tonight as they enjoyed a last meal.
The pair sat with Georgia Toffolo and were allowed to order from a non-jungle themed menu to mark the end of their time at camp.

Comedian Iain, 44, has struggled throughout his time in the jungle, and soap star Jamie, 42, has not made this any easier, joining Amir Khan and Dennis Wise to treat Iain in a way that many viewers branded as “bullying.”
From mocking Iain’s Bushtucker Trial efforts, to accusing him of having a game plan, Jamie and the other lads have infuriated those at home and resulted in Iain becoming insecure and subdued at certain points, however tonight the pair, put the past behind them and celebrated their three weeks in the jungle.
Those watching at home have struggled to watch the scenes as Iain has become increasingly upset, admitting yesterday he was being made to feel “uncomfortable”.
And this week the head of National Bullying Helpline, Christine Pratt, claimed that if what was happening in the jungle occurred online, Amir, Jamie and Dennis could face a prison sentence because it has caused distress to Iain.

She explained to The Sun Online: “Bullying is very often about perception.
“Collusion, mobbing, exclusion and negative and hurtful comments is, simply, bullying. It is outlawed in the workplace.”

She continued: “If what is happening in the jungle was occurring online i.e. cyberbullying and it was seemed to be both serious and causing distress, it might carry a prison sentence under the Malicious Communications Act, part of The Harassment Act.”

Christine, who has a wealth of experience on the topic, claims it is “ridiculous” to pretend what is happening on screen is not bullying.
And interestingly the charity has seen an increase in calls, which she believes is down to people recognising Iain’s plight as their own.
I'm A Celebrity's Dennis Wise says he'll go 'ape' if Iain Lee fails trial
She said: “Viewers will liken what they see on TV to something occurring in their personal lives or in their workplace.
“To suggest it is not bullying is ridiculous. If it was happening to your child you would not hesitate to call it bullying.
“The National Bullying Helpline is seeing an increase in calls which, we suspect, may be related to the current Celebrity Jungle controversy.”
