I asked him for his autograph once, he was on his own, just strolling along at Haydock, so he wasn't interrupted - he just waved me away, like a dog or a bug!!
He seemed a million light years away from the jovial old soul we are seeing in the jungle.
As for Anthony, I noted the comment saying he's being labelled 'bitchy' because he's gay and not butch. I reckon if it was Pat or Mark, people would be absolutely loving it. The macho men seem to get away with things that a camp, gay man can never hope to get away with unless they either play up to a gay stereotype (like Biggins) and/or sit on the fence, or pretend not to be gay. (like oh so many other male celebs).

I disagree with that. Take Brian Dowling, he is sooooo bitchy and sometimes quite nasty but he gets away with it because he is camp and people see it as just him being witty.

i don't think he is acting on Corrie, he is just playing himself, a nasty little queen.
I don't like him either
It was very risky going in there because if he is not popular it could ruin his career
Normally it is something celebs do to regurinate their career but his is going fine

And it must have been all the worse for Antony knowing he could have done so much better if Sinitta the little martyr didn't hog the airtime with her ridiculous carry on! To quote her idol, Simon - "Pathetic"!”

But it is hardly her fault if she is being picked continuously,blame the public for that. There are others in there who would be shitting a brick, but they are safe and if last the full 3 weeks, will never have to face a trial, it happens every year.

If she wasn't in there she couldn't be voted for at all, and if she didn't perform like a circus clown she wouldn't continue to be voted to do them!
I hope the public lose the ability to vote for the trials soon as I just find this boring and a tad frustrating!

There's the attitude that keeps on encouraging posters to discriminate against Anthony Cotton.
Shame on you!!

Of course it's her fault! Gillian McKeith very astutely claimed to be 'afraid of everything' within seconds of being on the first show, and it was obvious she would then be picked for all the trials - she knew exactly what she was saying.
And it worked brilliantly - she got loads of publicity, but not sure if she had anticipated all the hatred. 
So for Sinitta to immediately announce the same fears, and act them out in the same way that GM did, well seems pretty obvious to me that she's just acting up to get airtime - can't understand why the viewers are falling for it.

Agree with this, & I detest him.
I though Willie was worse, shouting about the snake 'it only wants to kiss you'. Very helpful...not.
As soon as the task was over Willie and Dougie were off like whippets without even acknowledging her. So bliddy rude the pair of them.

Could the dislike of Antony be because of homophobia
perhaps?
I actually like him and think an awful lot of his comments are meant to be funny. Regarding the OP's point he answered a question from Ant and Dec honestly. I laughed actually.

Time that word was dropped anyway, nobody is frightened of the creep, they just don't like him.

Yeah that'll be the reason, it's always a good card to play.:yawn:
Talking about his personality on Corrie to his real personality on Im a celebrity. A bit of a reality check..

I do not take kindly to this! I am certainly not homophobic, neither do I find it necessary to like someone or not like them because of their sexuality!
Is the like of Antony because of a need to be seen to be pc perhaps?

I tend to agree. I'm quite suspicious my nature and think that if someone was genuinely terrified they'd be shaking a bit surely? It's a reflex action you can't control. But even without that I think she's doing it deliberately too as she knows it garners her lots of screen time and notoriety. I'm not saying she's not scared, just that she's adding on a bit.

TBH I don't blame them, they've watched her histrionics and know that their bellies are going to be a lot emptier because of it and I don't see why they have to be nice about it when they're obviously annoyed. And by the looks of Antony's face he was too.
I have no problem with people and their phobias but this programme isn't new, you know what you're in for so why put yourself through it if you're genuinely terrified? Surely she doesn't need the money that much?

I was replying to a specific post when I said this. It was the one that used the term 'a nasty little queen'. I have no doubt in my assertion regarding that post. I'm not acquainted with your posts so shall leave you be.

Doubt it. I think they'll have time to go back, let off steam with each other and then think of how they'll look if they say anyting nasty to her. If the cameras weren't there however .........
Mind you, as a viewer it would be make great TV
