CHEEKY AJ Pritchard got a dressing down from I’m A Celebrity producers for trying to smuggle mushrooms into camp.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star was nabbed after taking part in a Castle Coin Challenge called Horsing Around.

AJ, 26, and actress Jessica Plummer, 28, had to feed a mare scraps of food.

But when AJ thought the cameras were off him, he slipped leftover veg into his pocket.

He hoped the mushrooms might be added to a meal to boost camp morale.

A source said: “AJ thought it would be funny to try and sneak some of the leftover veg, that would just go in the bin otherwise, back to camp.

“As part of the challenge they had very grim looking vegetables, including mushrooms, to feed the horse.

“But they’re all so hungry that even mouldy fruit and veg is appealing to them.

“He had to come clean once he realised what he’d done had been picked up by cameras and microphones meaning he went back to the camp empty-handed.”
