I'm A Celebrity winner Gino D'Acampo and Stuart Manning were given the go-ahead to kill a rat by TV bosses.

Fellow contestant George Hamilton spoke out yesterday after it was revealed the pair could face up to three years in jail after being charged with animal cruelty.

George was adamant he had checked with ITV bosses if it was all right to eat the rodent for supper, before chef Gino went in for the kill and was helped by Stuart to skin it.

Actor George, who quit the show last week, said: "Gino got very mad because we were exiled to a place which was filthy.When Lucy saw a rat , Gino said, 'We've got to get that'.

I laughed earlier when BBC News 24 announced the breaking news that ITV have apologised for Gino killing the rat.

After White was eliminated halfway through the final show, D'Acampo increased his lead over Woodburn with 83.44% of the vote.

The voting patterns also reveal that the Italian chef was topping the public votes from the first week.

Lucy Benjamin, who was the first celebrity to leave the show, was only 2.31% behind glamour model Sam Fox during the first eviction.

She never received less than 42.80% of the vote during her second stint on the show.
