He was a right bully on I'm A Celeb, causing viewers to take to tTwitter and complain about his behaviour, but it turns out that there was a lot Larry Lamb did that wasn't shown. And he is very, very sorry about it all.

Speaking on This Morning, presenter Martin Roberts (who was at the mercy of Larry's bullying) implied there was a bit more going on:

"I got in the car with my wife after the jungle and she told me some of the things that Larry had said that I didn't know about, like the middle class snob thing and was really trying to get the rest of the group against me."

"Then I asked her if she had seen certain things and she said they hadn't been shown but I know they can't show everything, so I forgive them for that."

It came out recently that, according to The Star, Larry called Martin a "porker" and a "f*cking twat", which obviously shook the presenter: "I was like, 'Why are you doing this? What is your end game here? Are you trying to destroy me like the bullies used to try to destroy me?'"

Martin also told The Mirror that the weight jibes weren't shown on air: "I lived a long time in the jungle with Larry and it turns out a lot of the stuff that he did to me wasn’t shown.

"One thing that hurt most was when he was interviewed after a challenge and I heard him say: 'He doesn’t need to win, because he’s a porker and he doesn’t need the food'".

"The day before, I talked about how I was badly bullied because I was fat, so Larry heard all of that."

On This Morning, he spoke about the awkward reunion we all saw at the hotel, and also something of a heartfelt apology from Larry - which we feel is pretty overdue.

"By the time I arrived at the hotel… there’s this reunion, and the last person I expected to see there was Larry. But I thought I’ve just got to put this behind me and give him a hug, but I was not feeling that inside and I think some people could see that."

He continued: "Some of the stuff he did was over the top… and the first day I was really angry, but my overall experience of the jungle was so positive.

"And the anger had gone. So by the time it was our final morning - I was having breakfast with Kirsty and the kids."

"Who should walk up but Larry and his lovely lady, and it was the last I was probably going to see them and I just grabbed Larry and hugged him.

"And I kept hold of him and said this is a real hug, and he just broke down in tears. He said, 'I am so so sorry about the way I acted towards you, and I am so sorry about what I said'..."

Holly Willoughby then asked if Martin accepted Larry's apology, and he said that he did, and that if they'd met at a party it would have been different: "But you're thrown into that environment..."

Poor Martin - we're glad he's out of the jungle and back to normal life. Also, that Larry apologised!
