The I’m A Celebrity…. Get Me Out Of Here! star was left fuming as Wright consistently probed Lee about his marriage.
During his TalkRadio show this weekend, Lee addressed reports that his marriage was in trouble.
In turn, Wright pressed the popular host over this personal life and was met with uproar.
“You’re talking about my private life,” Lee hissed, turning to the camera.
Wright hit back: “Can it be private if you talked about it on your radio show?”
Lee snapped: “I’m so close to telling you to F off and walking off this show right now.”
Wright smirked: “If that’s what you want to do…”
Viewers were floored by the scenes, with one fan posting: “Awkward @Matthew_Wright @5WrightStuff Don’t go on the show if u don’t want be asked personal questions, especially as u have already spoken about it on radio.”
Another followed: “Will be interesting to see if / how Matthew Wright recovers from awkward start with Ian Lee.
“Fascinating TV to see live breakdown between Presenter & Panelist.
“Can you claim privacy when you’ve divulged all on radio broadcast & can a Q be asked too many times? #wrightstuff.”
A third wrote: “Awkward minute or two on #TheWrightStuff Thank God @clairesweeney can talk for England and saved the day. Poor #MatthewWright.”
Other slammed Wright as Lee abandoned the talk show. One viewer fumed: “Matthew_Wright was being he’s usual dog with a bone and kept questioning him about something he’d told producers he didn’t want to talk about #totallackofrespect.”
A second agreed: “Well said @iainlee …you were totally right there! Matthew Wright being an idiot as per.”
Ahead of the live show, Lee appeared to be in high spirits as he posed for a photograph with fellow panelists Claire Sweeney and Daisy McAndrew.
However, show was left in chaos as Iain fled studio with Sweeney and McAndrew left to fill in his boots.
The drama comes after Lee said on his radio show: “My marriage has ended – I’m getting divorced.
“It’s miserable and I feel very weird after Australia. My head’s all over the place.”
Lee has since tweeted: “My mental health is not entertainment. My personal life is not entertainment.
“I am fine. Better than I’ve been for a long time.”
The Wright Stuff airs on Channel 5.
