John Thomson blasts Anthony Cotton

Anthony CottonFormer Cold Feet and Coronation Street actor has branded Anthony Cotton a “nasty piece of work” during a rant on Twitter about the I’m A Celebrity.. contestant.

Thomson was highly critical of the actor during a rant on Twitter in which he criticised Cotton’s conduct in the jungle and also discussed how difficult he found the actor to work with while appearing on Coronation Street. Anthony Cotton is currently one of the celebrities in ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! but he hasn’t gone down well with all viewers or even some of his fellow outback dwellers. The “actor” has already exchanged words with Fatima Whitbread who was none too pleased with his constant swearing.

Actor John Thomson, who played Jesse Chadwick in Corrie, took to Twitter to express his feelings over Cotton’s conduct in the jungle. The actor tweeted ‘Antony you nasty piece of work you are doing yourself no favours.. Antony Cotton — the truth will out!!’ When asked by another Twitter user what the actor was like to work with Thomson replied ‘Trouble with a capital T.’ The actor later Tweeted, on the same subject, ‘Antony just go. Do us all a favour. Antony Cotton. What a Miserable old fadge. Time he left the jungle.’

Cotton recently signed a new deal to remain with Coronation Street for the foreseeable future and has been given time off by producers to appear in I’m A Celebrity. While bosses are convinced his character of Sean Tully is popular with viewers a visit to any number of internet forums will reveal otherwise.
