I’m A Celeb South Africa: ‘That’s a different kind of training!’ Bumbling former butler Paul Burrell suffers an awkward blunder as he discusses his daily workout regimen with campmates
Paul Burrell got fans into trouble on Wednesday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa while making a hilarious blunder.
The former royal butler, 64, took a moment to explain his home workout regimen to his fellow camp mates, but ended up accidentally saying he was a transvestite.
Although he actually meant to refer to his elliptical trainer, he said, “I’m going home and getting on the transvestite.”
The blunder confused campmate Janice Dickinson as she tried to understand what he meant, before realizing and joking, “Whatever you’re doing, keep doing it, you look great.”
While fans took to Twitter to wonder if they heard the mistake right, the show’s official Twitter account joked, “That’s a different type of workout.”

Paul explained how he and Janice stayed in shape when he made the blunder, with no one calling him out as they remained confused.
But social media users caught the moment, with one writing, “Did Paul Burrell just say when he’s on the crossdresser?”
“Paul Burrell confused the elliptical trainer with a crossdresser,” another viewer commented.
While I’m A Celebrity’s official account tweeted, “Did @paulburrell_RVM just say cross-dresser instead of cross-trainer?” That’s a different kind of workout! #ImACeleb’.
When the famed show kicked off its brand new All Stars series this week, Paul was criticized by viewers for accusing him of “dropping his name” on his royal connections.
He told the camera: ‘Most people will know me from footman to HM and butler to Diana Princess of Wales’.
Later, at his trial, he further stated: ‘This is a far cry from Windsor Castle’.
One disgruntled viewer wrote on Twitter, “It took about 0.55 seconds for Paul Burrell to mention Diana.”
