Diversity’s Perri Kiely faces backlash after fuelling rumours about pal Jordan Banjo’s ‘affair’
DIVERSITY star Perri Kiely has been told off by fans after he fuelled rumours about pal Jordan Banjo having an “affair”.
I’m A Celeb star Jordan, 30, was teased about rumours of an “affair” with pianist Myleene by his trouble-making radio co-host, Perri.
Jordan is in fact happily married to his wife Naomi Courts, who recently gave birth to their third child, and Myleene is engaged to Simon Motson.
But that didn’t stop Perri stirring the pot on their KissFM breakfast show.
Perri said: “Yesterday we addressed the recent I’m A Celeb rumour that Jordan is having an affair with fellow campmate Myleene Klass.”
He then pointed out Jordan, 30, was no longer wearing his wedding ring.
But not all fans were happy and scolded Perri for his cheeky antics.
One wrote: “Naomi just had a baby two weeks ago, don’t mess with a hormonal tired mumma. She’ll batter you,” followed by a laughing emoji.
Another posted: “Stop causing trouble,” with a crying laugh emoji.
A third said: “You are SO naughty.”
“I hope Naomi took this with a pinch of salt because it made me laugh so much – Perri is a funny wind up,” another added.
Someone else joked: “Perri is a snake, funny to listen though because it’s clear there is nothing in it.”
After leaving the jungle, All Stars winner Myleene opened up about her “bond” with Jordan.
The talented pianist said: “Jordan and I went through a lot together. I bonded really well with Jordan.”
Fans were in hysterics at Perri‘s wind-up after he said he had his suspicions after Jordan saved Myleene from elimination before sharing a long hug and holding hands.
“He’s just pointed at me with his left hand,” said Perri on his radio show this week.
“I’ve noticed something a bit weird this morning.. he’s not wearing his wedding ring.”
He also went on to play clips of Myleene and Jordan together in the South African jungle.
Jordan blasted: “You and producer Jake are snakes. You’ve edited that.”
He explained: “I went boxing yesterday and had to take my wedding ring off and forgot to put it back on.”
Perri jokingly replied: “Taking all that anger out? A lot going on at home is there?”
“Oh shut up,” laughed Jordan, who didn’t appear to be offended by the grilling.
“There is no rumour. It’s you being stupid,” he insisted.
