Martin wasn't bullied or group ridiculed, he needs to grow a backbone. Not everyone in life gets on with each other, Martin himself said as much.
Did you think it was bullying when Martin threw water in Adam's face or when he kept hanging up on Ola or when he refused to eat the food Adam had cooked for him? |

Of course Martin's actions are clearly jokes. Others are supposed to laugh with him how funny he is. Some found him annoying, and bitched about it. That's not bullying.

I can only hope some of the people on here don't have kids that are bullied - they wouldn't stand a chance of getting any parental support.

Once there wasn't a President anyone could sit on the throne. Martin sat on the throne. Wayne etc were peeved, so drew a picture of Larry & put it on said throne.
That action spoke volumes! |

I totally agree...the ignorance in believing grown men cant be the victim of bullying, the "boo hoo" inane comments and other ridiculing of an already ostracised man, lends weight to your statement. Its a classic case of I'm alright Jack as it doesn't affect me. Well yes actually it does, because bullying will always be rife all the time small mentalities exist.

Well its over now for another 12 months. Larry doesn't have to see Martin again and I'm sure Martin will be delighted that he doesn't have to see Larry again.
See you here again next year folks! |

But how dramatic to call it hell. Hell is being captured by IS and being starved and tortured, hell is watching your small child die of cancer, hell is losing job and home..it is not having a couple of people dislike you for 2weeks whilst pocketing a small fortune. He is back with his family and never has to see them again.

Spot on. He was a drama queen in the jungle and he's still being a drama queen now. There are people who do go through hell so to compare himself to those is hysterical and insulting. He was well paid to go in there and could have walked any time he liked. So someone didn't like him...boo hoo
I'm sure it's not the first time. |

Actually hell is subjective to the one who asserts it and who, therefore, goes through the process.

The word 'hell' in a tabloid headline normally means a non story overdramatised.
Usually things like 'my cancer scare hell' when a z lister had to have a repeat smear |

Editing can be used to set up victims, villains, bores and heroes and frequently is. BB is renowned for it and IAC is following suit. |

Bullying will continue to thrive as long as people keep on denying its existence.

I totally agree with you. I think Larry let himself down by allowing his frustrations to get the better of him but living with someone like Martin would test the patience of a saint.
Martin did himself no favours the first couple of days by steaming in like a bull in a China shop, moaning non stop and making a drama out of nothing with Danny. He ruffled too many feathers and was always going to struggle after that. Hw seemed to not read people or situations and continued to jump in feet first regardless. To say he was bullied makes a mockery of the word. |

On every show, all I heard and saw was Martin muscling in on every scene. If thinking someone is annoying is bullying, then im a bully too. Such a wind up. Other people are allowed not to like someone.

The truth of it is none of us viewers really know what went on in camp, we wasn't there.
I do find this bullying thing has been blown out of all proportion, I didn't see any bullying, differences of opinion, clashes of character yes, but bullying no. i know Martin has now for some attained 'sainthood' but for me he was an annoying character and I can fully understand why he rubbed Larry and at times some of the others up the wrong way. I didn't think he did a great interview with Ant and Dec tbh, he immediately went into 'poor little me' mode and from pieces I have read online is continuing to do so. He is a grown man, if his jungle experience was 'hell' then he should have taken the issue to the producers or whoever, he needs to man up and take responsibility for his well being ...again imo. If he thinks that Larry and Wayne were picking on him/bullying him God knows how he would have coped with the wrath of Lady C last year. I appreciate I will get my head blown off for daring to raise it above the parapet on this issue but each to their own, and this is my take on what went on. I think Martin is fairly harmless but he's very much someone who was obviously bullied as a child and has been affected by it in his adult life, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it several times in his exit interview. I think he's got the potential to be bleddy irritating in close quarters over a long period of time and just because someone calls him out on that or loses their rag with him, doesn't make it bullying. |
