The author, actor and podcast host was crowned the first-ever Queen of the Castle last week, beating fellow campmates Jordan North and Vernon Kay.
James was clearly disappointed for his fellow Radio 1 presenter North, and shared a funny clip of himself watching Ant and Dec announce the winner, in which he could be heard shouting: “Oh f*** off! Oh for f…”
He followed the post up with a tweet that pointed out he was allowed to be disappointed for his friend.
“Ps. This is the reaction to a pal not winning a show where you have to eat b******s and sit in maggots,” he wrote.
“Don’t take it too seriously. Gi is lovely and a worthy winner but I’m allowed to be disappointed for Jordan,” he added. “No need to call the be kind police.”
Meanwhile Fletcher’s husband, McFly star Tom Fletcher, posted a video of him with their six-year-old son, Buzz, reacting to the announcement of her win.
In the clip, Tom was seen watching the TV with Buzz, who could be heard saying excitedly, “Mummy won!” as Ant and Dec declared Giovanna the winner.
Other contestants to have taken part in this year’s series of I’m a Celebrity include EastEnders stars Shane Richie and Jessica Plummer, journalist Victoria Derbyshire, and Coronation Street star Beverley Callard.
