Paul Burrell of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here… told fellow South Africans about the late Queen’s bath time.
The former royal butler, 64, has opened up about the bath time process at Buckingham Palace with US model Janice Dickinson on ITV’s new series All Stars.
Paul, who joined the Royal Family in 1987, has claimed that “Royals never run their own bathrooms, they just run for them.”
Paul, who then went on to serve as butler to the late Princess Diana until her death in 1997, released a royal duty book in 2003.
Janice asked, “Did you have to wash the Queen before?”
Paul replied, “No, she did it herself, she laid out the towels and everything in a special way, and the royals never run their bathrooms, they run for them, so they don’t have to put the plug in.”
The model later said: “Paul the butler of the royal house has the best stories on earth. So I kind of ask him questions here and there, he goes on and on and I love it!”
It comes after viewers slammed Paul after he made an “annoying” reference to his royal connections during Monday’s opening episode.
With a former butler who takes a few minutes to mention his late employer in his video.
He told the camera, “Most people will know me from being a footman to HM the King and butler to Diana, Princess of Wales.”
Later, during his trial, he said: “This is a far cry from Windsor Castle.”
One disgruntled onlooker wrote on Twitter: “It took Paul Burrell ~0.55 seconds before he mentioned Diana.”

Another quipped, “I’m Paul Burrell and most people know me because I’m in Lorraine every five minutes talking about Princess Diana.”
And a third wrote: Oh, was Paul Burrell’s servant Princess Diana??? He never mentioned it! ‘.
With a fourth joke: “Not like Paul Burrell mentioning Princess Diana.”
Before another rant: “Paul Burrell brings Diana back to remind us.” We know.’
Later, Paul mirrored his horrified expressions from 19 years ago while stuck in a challenge for the new All Stars series in South Africa.
Taking charge of the Hell Holes mission, Paul joked, “What a nice first challenge to put my hand in a hole.”
But within seconds, he was screaming and screaming after realizing there were snakes inside — much to model Janice Dickinson’s annoyance.

Paul revealed that the Queen was taking a shower even though he “laid out the towels and everything in a special way”
When he yelled, “He’s going to bite me,” the TV personality responded by saying, “If he doesn’t bite you, I’m going to shut up and look for the key!”
But viewers of the show were unimpressed by Paul’s antics, taking to Twitter to accuse him of “sarcasm” and “overacting.”
One wrote, “Why is Paul Burrell trying to recreate his 2004 meme. It was funny when it was original but now #ImACeleb has been enforced.” ‘
Others added, “Paul Burrell is so overrated that we’ve seen this act before,” and “Paul Burrell is ridiculous #ImACeleb.”

Later, during his trial, he said: “This is a far cry from Windsor Castle.”
Two more chime with, “Paul burrell is defo putting this on #ImACeleb,” as well as, “What actor Paul Burrell is #ImACeleb.”
Another concluded, “Paul Burrell gave this guy an Oscar #imaceleb.”
I’m A Celebrity fans all had the same complaint as ITV’s South African viewers, calling it ‘wrong’.
The show was pre-recorded in the Kruger National Park last year, with the first episode airing on Monday.
One disgruntled onlooker wrote on Twitter: ‘It took Paul Burrell ~0.55 seconds before he mentioned Diana.
For the first time in 21 years, the show, which kicks off Monday and features an all-star cast, won’t end up with a King of the Jungle or Queen — instead it will have a “Legend.”
The lack of a public vote means that the stars, including Carol Vorderman, Helen Flanagan, and Aamir Khan, will be pitted against each other, and thus will not be destined for royal status – instead just fighting each other.
“Without a public vote, they will compete against each other in a battle to become the first Celebrity Legend,” a statement from ITV read.
