She told the Mail On Sunday: ‘He’s a good, good guy and I’m glad he’s on TV so people can see the real side of him.Sometimes people judge you without knowing you.

‘We all do stupid things in life. I think people read things and you don’t mean it like that.’ 

Discussing his chances of winning, Faryal told The Sun: ‘Amir seems really depressed and quiet but I think he’s liked.

‘I’m proud of him. I can’t speak to him and I have no way of contacting him but I hope he’s OK.’

Faryal recently teased Amir for his terrified nature in the jungle during a Bushtucker Trial in a joking tweet, and also revealed that the Olympic champion is just as jumpy in real life. 

The model joked that Amir would ring her if there was a spider in the house, as he was too scared to get rid of it himself.

Faryal’s revelations came as Amir was teased by fellow I’m A Celebrity star Rebekah Vardy over his past troubles, asking the boxing star if Faryal ever looked through his phone.

The athlete joked that his wife probably did scroll through his messages, during a discussion as to whether men or women did the act more.

Though Amir and Faryal have now reconciled, over the summer they very publicly hashed out their problems in bitter exchanges.

And he couldn’t avoid addressing their Twitter rows, when a question about partners looking through each other’s phones arose during the Dingo Dollar challenge.

The question was: ‘In a recent survey, one sex admitted to looking through their partner’s phones more than the other. Is it a) men or b) women.’

‘Women 100 per cent. I’m 200 per cent sure,’ Amir said in the scene, which was cut from tonight’s show.

Claims: The athlete, 30, who last month boasted that he and Faryal had 'sorted out their issues' after a series of very public online spats, joked that his wife probably did scroll through his messages

Georgia Toffolo pointed out that did the other campmates think that women would admit to it. 

‘They probably do it more but do they admit it?’ Stanley said that he’d go with the crowd.  

Rebekah, 35, who is no doubt aware of Amir’s marriage troubles over the summer, commented that her Leicester City striker hubby Jamie Vardy could be trusted.

‘My husband doesn’t look thought my phone,’ she said, before turning to Amir and asking: ‘Does your missus look thought yours?’

Sensing the loaded atmosphere, she hastily joked: ‘Actually probably not the best person to ask that!’

‘No, she’s probably tried’ Amir replied and added that he ‘never’ looked through his wife’s phone. 

‘Well my wife’s got my password and I’ve got my wife’s password’ said Dennis. ‘Same’ replied Rebekah.

‘I wouldn’t be fussed if she picks my phone up and goes thought it to be honest and I don’t think she’s that fussed if I pick hers up,’ commented footballer Dennis Wise.

Jennie and Jamie returned to camp, incredulous that the camp got the question incorrect. ‘Well we were very stereotypical. That’s what happens.’ 

Viewers were left confused by Amir’s claims that he had never looked through Faryal’s phone, as in June he posted screenshots of Snapchat messages that appeared to be between Faryal and fellow boxer Anthony Joshua.

Amir later apologised for suggesting that anything was happening between the pair. 

It comes after Amir was hit by claims that he begged a single mother for sex, just days before announcing he had got back together with his spouse.

The Sun reported the boxer asked ex-model Emma Bond, 27, to send him explicit videos after noticing her on Instagram, before asking to go to her home, then suggesting meeting at a hotel.

Emma told the website that Amir’s alleged ‘sleazy’ messages were a ‘turn-off’ for her saying: ‘It soon became clear that all he wanted was sex.

‘He seemed genuine and down to earth at first. But the more I turned him down the more desperate he became. 

Mail Online contacted Amir’s representative for comment at the time.

It was claimed Amir first messaged Emma on Instagram in August, asking for her mobile number so he could send her Whatsapp messages.

The website reports Amir sent a message on September 21 asking Emma when they were meeting.

On September 25 it was claimed he wrote that he wanted to see her tattoo.

On September 29, he reportedly sent another message asking if she was a ‘naughty or bad gal’.

It was claimed that Emma turned down the alleged advances to which Amir reportedly wrote: ‘Babe send me a video. Make it hot and sexy.’

A further message from October 14 purported to be from the Bolton-born star talks of how he has ‘just come out of a relationship’ and is looking to have ‘fun’ and ‘action’.

It was claimed he begged to meet Emma and asked for her full name and hometown, to which Emma refused.

On November 6 he reportedly told Emma he was in Manchester, and when she asked him if he was around at the weekend he allegedly replied ‘OK.’

 But instead of keeping the date Amir posted a photo of himself and Faryal cosying up on a sofa announcing ‘With my 4 month pregnant wife, after sorting out all the issues. Closing the year with a happy ending.’

Emma, who is mother to two young children labelled Amir ‘sleazy’ saying ‘He seemed genuine and down to earth at first. But the more I turned him down the more desperate he became.’  

The claim comes as Amir admitted he feels embarrassed at the way he handled his split with Faryal who he shares 3-year-old Lamaisah with.

Speaking to The Mirror, Amir admitted: ‘I think if you look at the whole situation, it was all just silly, starting with the texts, then when I accused her of messaging Joshua, it was all just nonsense really from the start. 

‘And then when we sat down and thought ‘Look, we’ve got a family’. Also she’s expecting so we have to think for the kids. In life you have to forgive. We have to move forward and move on from things like that. 

Branding it a ‘wake-up call’, he continued: ‘I made a few silly mistakes. I did put my life on social media, I assumed things which were wrong. So I kind of embarrassed myself.’

Amir revealed they have now put everything behind them, and are moving forward as ‘one big family’, with the couple even staying in his mum’s spare room the night before he left for the jungle, in a bid to repair Faryal’s fractured relationship with his family. 

While show bosses had allegedly wanted him as a hunky single man to provoke romance on the show, Amir is said to be keen to set things straight about his turbulent relationship with Faryal.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Amir’s hoping he can use the show as a springboard to help rebuild some of the damaged public perception of him after his marriage split.’

And it looks like he may also be injecting the comedy factor, after he admitted he’s not as brave as he seems.

Speaking to The Metro last week, the former unified light-welterweight world champion admitted: ‘I am one guy who hates spiders.

‘Whenever I see a spider at home, I get my sister to move it. I just don’t deal with it. ‘Will I scream? Yes definitely but maybe this is the time where I face my phobias!’ 

The reports came after the boxer confirmed he had reconciled with wife Faryal Makhdoom last week – just two months after he filed for divorce in the wake of bitter family feuds and public rows.

On Saturday Amir tweeted a picture of the couple snuggling in each other’s arms on the sofa in London.

He captioned it: ‘With my 4 month pregnant wife, after sorting out all the issues. Closing the year with a happy ending’. 

Only two months ago Bolton-born Khan told his fans his marriage was over.

After months of very public problems, including a family spat, rumours of a sex tape and cheating allegations Amir Khan and his wife Faryal sensationally split earlier this year. 

He said in a Snapchat video on 8 September: ‘So me and Faryal are not together. I have filed for a divorce.

‘I hear she has just announced she is pregnant. She didn’t tell me. I had to read it on social media.’

The couple, who married in 2013, had a very public falling out on Twitter earlier this year, with each side accusing the other of cheating.

Khan even accused his American wife of having an affair with heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua.

Khan hit out at his wife, writing: ‘Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I’m not hurt but another fighter. I’m making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger.’

But Faryal hit back minutes later, claiming her husband left his family because they had ‘robbed’ him and telling him to ‘stop making false things up’. 

Branding him a ’30-year-old baby’, she went on to accuse him of sleeping with prostitutes and being a bad role model.

Joshua laughed off Khan’s claims, posting the music video from pop star Shaggy’s It Wasn’t Me online, and saying he had never met Faryal.

Khan later apologised to Joshua and said there was ‘no truth’ to his claims.

Problems began last year when Khan’s family said his wife, an American model, dressed improperly for a Muslim woman. 

The boxer, from Bolton, who is worth £23million, announced their split in a tweet reading ‘So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I’m currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best’.

He was then pictured on a string of dates with various women, while a heartbroken Faryal continued her pregnancy, admitting on Instagram that to ‘pretend everything was okay’ to their daughter was the ‘hardest thing she’s ever done’. 

However the two appear to have worked things out in the last week, ahead of his appearance in the jungle. 

This year’s line up sees MIC’s Georgia Toffolo, actor Jamie Lomas, singer Vanessa White and footballer Dennis Wise, Conor Maynard’s brother Jack Maynard, Soap actress Jenny McAlpine, Boris Johnson’s father Stanley Johnson, comedian Shappi Khorsandi and WAG Rebecca Vardy.
