She said: ‘I think there’s a couple of people that are gonna be a little bit annoying, like Shane Richie. I mean, he’s not a comedian but he’s just trying to be.
‘He’s just being a little bit annoying, he’s been voted for the first trial so a lot of people are seeing that.
‘It just takes you a little while to get used to the campmates.’
However, Shane Jr, 28, who is the son of Linda’s Loose Women co-host Coleen Nolan, quickly took to social media to respond to her remarks.

The contestants will sleep on rusty old beds, covered by a newly installed plastic roof, with only the campfire located inside the adjoining living quarters providing any heat.
ITV announced an extreme COVID Management Plan to ensure the series runs smoothly, including the celebrities being tested every three days and crew members wearing proximity buzzers, wear masks and get temperature checks on arrival.
The celebrities had been isolating for two weeks ahead of their arrival.
