Nicola McLean has accused David Van Day of inappropriate sexual behaviour during their appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in 2008.
The mother-of-two, 36, was seen on camera during the ITV show being smacked on the bottom by the Bucks Fizz star, 60, during a challenge where he also proceeded to plant an unwelcome kiss on her and touch her stomach in the waterfall shower.
Reflecting back, Nicola told The Sun that she thought David deemed his ‘uncomfortable’ behaviour was okay because she was a glamour model who ‘gets her boobs out for a living’.
‘It was sexually inappropriate’: Nicola McLean has accused David Van Day of inappropriate sexual behaviour during their appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in 2008
In unbelievable scenes aired on I’m A Celebrity nearly ten years ago, David was seen helping his arch nemesis Nicola to wash the mud off her body after a task.
He then went on to give her a slap on the bottom and plant a kiss on her after winning a challenge.
And in light of the recent Harvey Weinstein scandal, Nicola has detailed her uneasiness at David’s actions – labelling it ‘very sexually inappropriate.’
Expanding on events that took place off camera, Nicola continued: ‘He even said “I’m a hot blooded male and I can see two things I like.” If David Van Day had done what he did to me to someone who wasn’t a glamour model, there would have been uproar.’

At the time, Nicola revealed that ITV producers asked her if she wanted him kicked off the show.

‘On my social media at the time it was apparent that I was home and Tom was away, and the police and myself feel that whoever burgled me had been watching my tweets and waiting for that opportunity,’ she said.
‘They stole my car, and where my car was parked in relation to my house, you would only know it was mine if you’d been watching me.’
Nicola said that the theft had made her nervous to be in the house.
‘It makes me very nervous when I’m in the house sometimes but it hasn’t affected my anxiety attacks.’
