In news you might not have heard yet (and that's OK), Lady Colin Campbell has left I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! on "medical grounds."

That's not before she put together a fairly impressive catalogue of entertaining insults aimed at her fellow contestants, per the Telegraph.

And unfortunately for football fans the world over, Lady C's time on the show managed to include a brief yet revealing conversation about the rivalry between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

As reported by the Mirror, Lady C was being teased by former Newcastle midfielder Kieron Dyer about her lack of sports knowledge.

When attention turned to the debate over the two Ballon d'Or candidates, she took over.

Asked about Messi, she said: "Is he hot to trot, is he sexy? I know who Cristiano Ronaldo is and he’s a gorgeous looking guy.”

As viewers begged the exchange to end, Dyer explained Ronaldo would appreciate her apparent favouritism.

"Well maybe that can be the start of a fine friendship?" she said.

"Yes a lustful friendship eh?" replied a giggling Dyer, before downplaying worries over the pair's age by suggesting the Real Madrid star "might be able to throw you about and stuff.”

No, really.

The entire conversation can be enjoyed in all its nervous awkwardness in the above video.
