  • 27 Feb 2020

He might be the King of the Jungle after winning I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here 2019, but not everyone knows who Richard Reid is. 

WATCH: Richard Reid's awkward date on First Dates

The 55-year-old gossip guru had said he often “wonders whether people like him for him” because he is so famous before meeting 37-year-old Jonathan, but he need not have worried.

“I get the feeling he doesn’t know who I am,” Richard copped after meeting Jonathan at the bar for a drink.

“So what do you do for work?” Jonathan asked.

“I go back and forth between Los Angeles and here … I do some TV presenting,” Richard explained.

“I don’t watch TV,” Jonathan said.

Speaking to the camera, Richard said: "It was refreshing, but at the same time, when someone is supposed to know who I am, and they don’t know who I am. It was awkward, it was very awkward."

Jonathan Googled Richard while he was in the toilet.

“Once he worked out who I was he loosened up and I saw a fun side to him,” Richard told the camera.

Recently, Karl Stafanovic labelled the American gossip gurua “tosser of the highest order” for revealing he had hair plugs on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Richard took a moment to explain why he made the remark during a segment on Studio 10, insisting he didn’t mean to out Karl on television.

Speaking to Natarsha Belling, the 51-year-old entertainment reporter admitted he “feels bad” for saying the things he did but added he won’t be apologising any time soon.

“I will say it's been a year since I made those comments," Richard began. "The thing is, I do feel bad now about saying that about Karl, about his hair."

He explained how it wasn't the most appropriate time or situation to make the remark, before adding: “I think I got off light, being called a tosser, actually.”

But when Natarsha asked the entertainment guru if he was going to apologise to Karl for making the remarks, Richard immediately said no.
