Earlier this year, Kathy sparked a row with duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly when she shared what she really thinks of the Geordie presenters.
She didn’t hold back, labeling the two ‘f*****ga*********s’, slamming them for their career choices and accusing them of ‘betraying’ their heritage.
Speaking to fellow comedian Seann Walsh on her podcast, she revealed her disparaging opinion of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, and especially the reality show’s choice of contestant.
Ant and Dec are the long-running presenters of the popular ITV series. However, the show has faced criticism in recent years after it started hosting unpopular politicians on the show for huge paychecks.
While former Health Secretary Matt Hancock appeared on the show in 2022 despite the controversy surrounding his affair during a national lockdown, Nigel Farage was the latest controversial politician to appear on the show last November for a fee of £1.5 million.
Speaking to Seann, who himself appeared as one participant in 2022, she said: ‘I didn’t watch this year because Farage was in it.’
‘It was a step too far [Matt] I felt Hancock there, but I thought I’d look at it anyway. But when they announced Farage, all I thought was: you bloody bastards.’
Referring to Nigel’s outspoken views on immigration, Kathy continued: ‘And I don’t know if she was really mad at Ant and Dec. They’re of Irish descent, man.

“And I also think it was very unfair to the rest of you, to the other participants.”
But while Kathy shared her disappointment in Ant and Dec, the couple also called it quits for a year on I’m a celebrity with ‘no politicians’ amid accusations of Nigel’s team that ITV is the first to ‘sew’ UKIP leader.
Allies of Nigel made several claims to the broadcaster in December, including cutting his airtime, breaching an ‘indecency’ clause and alleging plans to release a video featuring the Brexit Party founder makes racist comments.
When asked if they would like Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on the show, Dec said: ‘I think we should do without politicians for a year.’
Meanwhile, on their Instagram Live, Ant raised his fists in the air and said: “Agree, agree, agree.”
Previous political figures on the show include Nadine Dorries in 2012, Edwina Currie in 2014, Stanley Johnson in 2017 and Matt Hancock.
Nigel became an unlikely favorite among viewers of last year’s series, finishing in third place behind Tony Bellew and winner Sam Thompson.
He caused quite a stir ITV following his ‘attention-seeking’ tactics in the jungle wHe was seen stripping completely naked on a number of occasions.
His team sent a legal letter to ITV bosses for showing him naked in the I’m A Celebrity jungle shower.
His furious aides claimed there was an ‘indecency clause’ in his contract banning the channel from showing images of him naked.
