I’M A Celebrity star Ian Wright has been mocked by fans who claim the Arsenal legend only went into the jungle to get away from the flagging Gunners.
The former striker and now popular Match Of The Day pundit, 56, has already faced ribbing from the likes of Lee Dixon, Roy Keane and Glenn Hoddle for his antics Down Under.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun before heading to Australia, Wrighty revealed his fears that fans of arch-rivals Tottenham will force him to suffer the worst Bushtucker trials.
But according to Arsenal supporters, the England icon has suffered enough this season and is only taking part in the show to escape the turmoil at the Emirates.
One fan tweeted: “My guy Ian Wright really went into the jungle to escape watching this Arsenal team.”
Another said: “Hopefully Arsenal can win something this year, with him and Alex (Scott) on Strictly. We can do the double.”
A third added: “Absolutely class that the entire Kardashian family are going be sat around the TV for the next three weeks watching Caitlyn Jenner and hearing stories about Arsene Wenger from Ian Wright.”
A fourth referenced Wright’s public show of support for Arsenal starlet Eddie Nketiah this season by saying his luxury item will be an update on how the 20-year-old’s loan spell is going at Leeds.
Meanwhile, the Gunners are hoping to turn their fortunes around with a favourable run of Premier League fixtures against Southampton, Norwich, and Brighton.
Arsenal are without a domestic victory since the first week in October and have slipped down to sixth in the table.
SunSport revealed Unai Emery has until the New Year to turn things around with the club’s hopes of Champions League qualification decreasing by the week.
