He made a shock exit from I’m A Celebrity the same day the interview was published, citing his children as the reason for his early departure from the reality show.

He instantly received an enormous amount of backlash for his views, with former Home and Away star Tim taking to Twitter to admonish the Aboriginal sportsman.
‘So a pathetic little ferret like Anthony Mundine couldn’t cope in the jungle, is a quitter, yet is “The Man”?’ he wrote, referring to the boxer’s nickname.
‘I guess that makes my husband, who could face the challenge and battled it to the end, a much stronger “man” than that vile, gutless homophobe,’ he continued.

When another user told Tim his outspoken defense of his husband was only adding to an ‘us and them mentality’, the actor didn’t mince words in his response.
‘When you make public statements about capital punishment against LGBTI people, you deserve no respect and every piece of condemnation against you,’ he stated.
During his interview, Anthony called for gay actors and characters to be banned from television screens and films, as it would ‘encourage children to be homosexual’.
