EXCLUSIVE: Perez Hilton furiously hits back at Ryan Gallagher after the MAFS star accused him of ‘punching the lights out’ and ‘going insane’ on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Ryan Gallagher recently made startling claims about Perez Hilton’s behaviour on the set of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! last year.

And on Friday, the American gossip guru, 43, hit back at Ryan in a statement to Daily Mail Australia, branding his allegations ‘hilarious’ and baseless.

Perez said: ‘This is hilarious! Anyone who knows me – likes me or hates me – knows I would never do this. It didn’t happen.’

‘But since he’s now talking… maybe I should do the same about what he did on I’m a Celebrity that didn’t make it on air? Or maybe some celebrity reporters in Australia should look into what really happened!’ he continued.

‘As if I would do something that could get me kicked off the show like that! Or possibly injured!

‘I like my money too much and knew the rules well enough not to break them!’

Earlier this week, Ryan spoke to The Real House Husbands Podcast about Perez’s behaviour on the set of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2020.

The former Married At First Sight star claimed Perez ‘punched the lights out’ and ‘was just insane’ during their time in the South African jungle.

He said the Perezhilton.com founder ‘used to talk to himself and start laughing and s**t’ without explanation.

Ryan also claimed an on-air argument about food rations escalated way beyond what was shown on television.

Not true: Perez continued: 'As if I would do something that could get me kicked off the show like that! I like my money too much and knew the rules well enough not to break them!'

‘We were all like, “What the f**k is going on here?” That night they didn’t air half the s**t that happened, I’ll tell you,’ he said.

According to Ryan, the cast feared Perez was going to go ‘f**king insane’. 

‘I went up there [to producers] and said he has to leave,’ he said. ‘None of us are going to sleep tonight. He punched the lights out. He was just insane.’

During the episode that aired on TV, Perez expressed remorse for his behaviour. 

Ryan said he believed his response to Perez’s erratic behaviour was the reason why he was voted out of the jungle a few days later.

This is because his reaction was shown in the final edit, but Perez’s actions weren’t.

‘I think that’s why me and Charlotte [Crosby] got voted out,’ he admitted.

‘I got a bit aggro with Perez and we got into a yelling fight and [Crosby] looked like a bit of a sourpuss. So I think the public turned on us.’ 

Ryan went on to claim he never liked Perez because of ‘what he does for a living… he writes nasty things about people.’ 

‘I’ve had it done about me and it’s f**ked,’ he added. ‘Then I think it was the second night, he was like, “Ryan, I don’t do that anymore. I’m changed.”‘
