I'm shy really, says Imogen Bailey

SHE'S diplomatic about it, but Imogen Bailey won't deny there were cat fights between her and witch Fiona Horne on remote Vanuatu this year.

The two locked horns on Celebrity Survivor, and it's fair to say they didn't the leave the island as friends.
"Let me say I have a lot of respect for Fiona and if we met on the outside we probably would get along," Bailey said in Melbourne yesterday.

"But we did clash, and she is a very strong personality.

"I'm quite a shy person. When you see the magazine covers, that's not the real Imogen, so I found the confrontation hard.

"It wasn't made any easier when you have a group of strong personalities and there is no food."

While Horne has slammed host Ian "Dicko" Dickson, saying his behaviour was "unnecessarily derogatory and sexist", Bailey was all positive.

"Dicko has a huge heart and is an extremely caring person. I think he did an amazing job," she said.

Dicko's Survivor Controversy!

FORMER Idol meanie Dicko has been slammed for being "derogatory" and "sexist" by a contestant on his latest reality show, Celebrity Survivor.

Dicko has come under fire from contestant Fiona Horne for being sexist in his hosting gig on new Channel 7 ploy for ratings, Celebrity Survivor.

White witch Horne, one of the D-list celebrities sent to Vanuatu last month to take part in the series, said Dicko's insulting comments on the set were out of line.

"I found a lot of his behaviour to be unnecessarily derogatory and sexist,'' Horne said.

"He said deliberately provocative things. He basically said the girls can't look after themselves and needed a man to rescue them.''

Horne said she was disgusted by Dickson's cheap shots at the female contestants.

"He was doing himself a discredit. I don't know why he does it because he is smarter and funnier than that,'' she said.

"I don't think that (making sexist and derogatory comments) is humourous. It is boring. I clashed with him.''

But while Dicko copped it from Hornebags, he received plenty of support yesterday from another Celebrity Survivor contestant, Imogen Bailey.

"Dicko has a huge heart and is an extremely caring person,'' Bailey said.

"I think he did an amazing job.''
