Corrie Star Admits Wanting to Kill I’m A Celeb Co-Star

In simpler terms, the well-known actor Nigel Havers from Coronation Street confessed unexpectedly that during his disagreement with co-contestant Lembit Öpik on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!, he felt intense anger that led him to desire ending their relationship.

In 2010, the 73-year-old actor, known for his role as Lewis Archer in ITV soap opera, ventured into the Australian jungle alongside a 60-year-old former politician. However, he left the jungle only nine days later due to his disapproval of the electric shock trial.

Nigel claimed that if he hadn’t left the reality show when he did, he would have been jailed for murdering Lembit, who he had conflicts with during our stay at the camp.

He told The Guardian, “It appears poorly represented on television. Frankly, it was atrocious. What made it particularly unpleasant was the boredom.

There once was a man named Lembit Öpik, who happened to be a politician. After a couple of days, I found myself wishing him harm. If I had stayed any longer, I would have acted on that desire and likely be in prison today. Given these circumstances, it seemed prudent to depart instead.

TopMob have contacted Nigel’s reps for further comment.   

In the jungle, Nigel found himself increasingly weary of Lembit’s talks, frequently expressing his displeasure by calling Lembit ‘boring’.

Previously, the ex-MP disclosed that he and the actor have never exchanged a word since their days in the camp, and he criticized the actor for being two-faced by disparaging him for years.

He shared with The Sun: “We haven’t appeared on each other’s Christmas greeting lists since 2010. Yes, Nigel Havers turned out to be two-faced. He feigned friendship towards me. It wasn’t until I saw the show after I came out that I understood his true feelings.

In a 2018 interview on Good Morning Britain, I shared my strong dislike for a fellow actor named Lembit Opik. If I had remained working with him, I might have resorted to something drastic – to put it mildly, I was this close to losing my temper and causing harm.

After his interview, Lembit didn’t hesitate to respond to Nigel. He used platform X to counter-attack the actor, claiming that he was being unfairly blamed for everything.

Unfortunate for Nigel Havers, the only celebrity to leave my jungle series. He slipped into the lake and accused me then. On our drive back to the hotel, he continued to blame me. Now, he’s accusing me for his exit from camp! I extend my apologies for everything, including his role in ‘BENIDORM’, just in case he blames me for that as well.

In simpler terms, after a public vote, Lembit was the second famous figure eliminated from the competition, while Stacey Solomon, the host of Loose Women, eventually won the series.

Nigel abruptly left “I’m A Celebrity,” mere hours following his complaints to the production team concerning the way contestants were being handled.

At last, I stepped away from the encampment, following my refusal to comply with the mock tribunal that had become a terrifying ordeal for its participants. If anyone faltered during this extraordinary proceeding, they were subjected to electric shocks – a grim reality I simply couldn’t bear to witness.

Nigel was observed looking angry and saying, “I’m not in the mood, I detest electrical shocks, so I’m departing. I can’t afford to lose any more time from my life. I might even take some extreme action, such as leaving.

‘If you are gaining something, that’s a fantastic thing. But if you’re not gaining something…’

He mentioned that another factor leading to his decision to leave the show was his discomfort with the idea of his wife watching him portray a character behind bars.

Nigel, too, was voicing his concerns about shallow discussions among group members, referring to several of their topics as unintelligent or trivial.

In my case, I find myself immersed in continuous conversation without a moment’s rest. At the age of 59, I prefer not to squander precious time engaged in idle chatter.

Previously this year, Nigel disclosed details about his vibrant romantic history, having been married three times. He expressed that he would be at a loss if he found himself single again today.

The lead actor from The Charmer and Chariots of Fire finds the concept of online dating utterly puzzling. “I can’t help but wonder,” he muses softly, “whatever became of simply going to a gathering and introducing oneself by saying, ‘Hello, what do you have planned for next week?'” He expresses this sentiment in his distinctive smooth tone.

That’s really more pleasant for me. Swiping left or right seems quite challenging, I don’t think I could manage it easily. I imagine it must be quite complex. Given that aspect, I’m genuinely grateful to be in my 70s.

After reconsidering, Nigel believes that, given the opportunity, he could manage it on his own. ‘Certainly, someone would guide me. However, if I were 30 today, I’d already know precisely how to handle it!’

As a child of the vibrant 1960s, I wholeheartedly embraced the era’s spirit. I couldn’t help but join in the fun, and I can honestly say that I lived life to its fullest during those swinging times, with a grin on my face as I reminisce.

During his time as a drama student in London, it was often turned into a lively gathering spot when Nigel and his friends were not occupied, since the apartment belonged to his father, Sir Michael Havers, who was an esteemed lawyer on his way to becoming Attorney General, and had a residence at the Inns of Court.

On a Saturday night, I invited a few friends over for an enjoyable gathering involving cocktails and food. Later in the evening, we all retired as one might say. Around nine or ten the following morning, I heard a key turning which made me exclaim, “Oh my goodness! Who’s that?

In the next instant, I found myself in my father’s room, lying on his bed, which was definitely not an ideal situation considering there were a couple of girls present. I had to swiftly get rid of them. Then, my father entered and warned, “I’ll be back in an hour, and we’ll deal with the consequences!

In a hurry, we managed to set up the place, and everyone seemed to vanish. I found myself alone, sitting there. An hour passed, followed by another, but he didn’t return. My father never brought it up. However, I made sure not to repeat that action.
