Now, Jonathan has spoken about his co-stars on his podcast Reel Talk and said that he and Ruth had ‘no beef.’
The star, who was eliminated from the show at a recent roundtable, said: “I don’t think there was anyone there I didn’t like.
“Obviously, some people leave earlier than other people so you don’t get to spend as long with them. So you know, the younger people who went out earlier, I didn’t get to spend as much time with Niko [Omilana] or Ruth.
“I’ve spoken to them both since and all our lives are different but I think certainly we were friendly when we met so there’s no beef there. But I’d like to think that we could become friends.”

“Tameka I’ve become very friendly with. I’ve spoken to Tameka quite a lot – sometimes in the group chat. I invited her to go to something with me. One thing she couldn’t come to and the other thing, she was going to come but I had to cancel it because I couldn’t go to it.
“Cat I knew a little tiny bit and we’ve become friends. Actually, I got an email from her just before starting this.
“Cat I really like. Generally speaking, I’m fairly open to meeting new friends. I’m not saying these are becoming super close friends but I’m not someone who finds it easy to become close with people really quickly.”
It’s not just Jonathan that ruffled Ruth’s feathers on the show.
Ruth took a about having “trust issues” with the comedian after believing he was trying to befriend her on the show.
Ruth captioned the clip: “You think you have trust issues?
“I thought my favourite comedian was following me around because they wanted to be my friend but they were actually trying to murder me for 24 hours straight on national television.”
