Boxer Tony Bellew, 41, appeared on Monday’s Good Morning Britain to chat about his role in charity football match, Soccer Aid.
The I’m A Celeb star – whose son plays in goal for Everton – showed off his own goalie gloves as he revealed his part in the sporting challenge on June 9.
Yet he also let slip he will be on the opposing team as former I’m A Celeb BFF campmate Sam Thompson, 31, whom he had forged a close bond with in the 2023 series.
Tony, who came second to Made In Chelsea alumni Sam, told GMB: “Me and Sam are now going to become rivals.
“I gave him a call and said ‘I think I’m going to do Soccer Aid’ and he said ‘I’m going to love spending time with you, we’re going to train together and I’m going to get to shoot balls past you’.
“Well, no, you’re not mate because I am on the other team.
“And I didn’t have a clue what team I was going to be on or what was going to happen, but now you know.
“So we are now rivals and no longer friends.
“We are frenemies.”
The pair will join the likes of Tommy Fury and Usain Bolt in the line-up for the event in aid of Unicef, which will be aired on ITV.
Jungle japes
Tony then told GMB viewers he “took great care” of the reality TV star during their time in the camp before dubbing him his “fifth child.”
Last winter, Sam took home the I’m A Celeb title having survived in the Aussie jungle for three weeks.
He beat boxer Tony, with whom he built up a strong friendship, after a two-way race during the final.
The MIC favourite leapt into Tony’s arms as he was named the winner.
Their in-camp relationship was often likened to that of Shrek and his sidekick Donkey, with Sam as the excitable animal and Tony as the calm giant.
At the time, fans were elated to witness the pair’s reunion in the real world after their camp antics.
