I'm A Celebrity: Amir Khan declares that he's NEVER cooked before as his mum and sisters do it for him... and mentions his formerly-estranged wife Faryal Makhdoom for the first time

• e-mail

Amir Khan casually dropped into a session in the Bush Telegraph on Thursday's episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! that he has never cooked a meal for himself.

Adding to the 30-year-old's admission was the fact that he doesn't 'need' to cook at home because he has his sisters, wife and mother to do that for him.

This caused an uproar on Twitter form viewers - but was also notable as he mentioned his formerly-estranged (and pregnant) wife Faryal Makhdoom for the first time since being in the jungle.

Too many cooks: Amir Khan declares that he's NEVER cooked before as his mum and sisters do it for him... and mentions his formerly-estranged wife Faryal Makhdoom for the first time

This comes as the pair seemingly decided to give their marriage another chance just a week before Amir headed over to Australia to take part on the ITV show.

After completing the latest BushTucker Trial with Georgia Toffolo, the pair were sent to Snake Rock for an evening of comfy beds, a hot shower and a dinner of squab.

Toff took the lead and cooked the meat, while Amir spoke in the Bush Telegraph, saying he 'never cooks at home', declaring that his sister, wife and mum are the ones that do that.

'How #sexist is #AmirKhan I don’t cook as I’ve got my Mum wife and sister...' raged one person on Twitter.

'"I never really cook at home I've got my sisters, wife and mum" - Amir Khan 2017,' a second person wrote. 

'And in 18th century I'm A Celeb Amir doesn't do any cooking at home - because he's got his sisters, his wife and his mum. I hope they eat all the food and tell him he got the answer wrong' typed another, referring to the previous episode that saw him tricking the camp into believing he and Iain Lee failed their Dingo Dollar Challenge, when they actually won strawberries and ate them all.

Others found the funny side to the remark, with one person posting: 'Amir Khan also goes "Me, I never cook anything me. Well I've got my Mum, I've got my Wife, I've got my Sister..." Hahahaha. You've got to love him. I've never voted in this in my life, but I'm voting for him to win #ImACeleb [sic].'

'Amir Khan is jokes. Dude just said he has about 5 cooks at home. His mum, his sisters & his wife...' said someone else.

Chit chat: After completing the latest BushTucker Trial with Georgia Toffolo, the pair were sent to Snake Rock for an evening of comfy beds, a hot shower and a dinner of squab 

Faryal had been embroiled in a bitter feud with the boxer's family, culminating in them branding her 'evil'.

But the pregnant beauty - who is expecting the couple's second child - quashed any ongoing speculation about the rift once and for all when she appeared in a BBC Radio Manchester video with the Khans.

The glamorous model, 26, was seen watching her husband on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! alongside his closest relatives, including his devoted father Sajjad. 

Also seen in the clip are Amir's brother Haroon 'Harry' Khan, a professional boxer and a Commonwealth Games bronze medallist, and Mariyah, 19, a student at Manchester Metropolitan University who famously feuded with Faryal online.

The endearing video shows how the excited family jumping for joy as it's revealed Amir won't be doing a trial.

Reconciled? Faryal appeared to dramatically reunite with estranged husband Amir Khan on Sunday evening, just days after the boxer enjoyed a night out with a Brazilian model

The news that Amir and Faryal had reunited - which came just before the boxer headed into the jungle - was announced just two months after he filed for divorce in the wake of bitter family feuds and public rows.

The champion boxer tweeted a picture of the couple snuggling in each other's arms on the sofa in London, which he captioned: 'With my 4 month pregnant wife, after sorting out all the issues. Closing the year with a happy ending'. 

Only two months ago Bolton-born Khan told his fans his marriage was over.

He said in a Snapchat video on 8 September: 'So me and Faryal are not together. I have filed for a divorce.

'I hear she has just announced she is pregnant. She didn't tell me. I had to read it on social media.'

In a public war of words this summer both accused the other of cheating and Faryal accused Khan's Pakistani parents of bullying her for not being a good Muslim.

Khan's father Shah said she was 'adopting a dress code which in the Islamic faith was not acceptable'.

Faryal also accused Khan's sister of cropping her out of family photos.

But last weekend the American-Pakistani model hinted at a brighter future after months of acrimony.

She shared a picture of her with Khan, 30, and their three-year old daughter Lamaisah and captioned it: 'We're going to be doing this all over again.'

She also appeared to reflect on her marriage by sharing a quote alongside a picture of herself in a bridal gown.

The 26-year-old posted on Instagram: 'One day, you will find peace in the burning of the past.'

The post came a day after pictures emerged of Khan outside a shisha bar in London with Brazilian model Bella Gusmao before they jumped into a cab.

Khan, who has been out of the ring for nearly two years after suffering a heavy knockout, seemed in good spirits with the brunette, who bore a striking resemblance to Faryal.

New York-born Faryal and former unified light-welterweight world champion Khan, who married in 2013, share three-year-old daughter Lamaisah.

Faryal said she wants her daughter to be an 'independent and strong' example for Muslim women.

Khan, who is worth £23million, announced the couple's split in August in a tweet that read: 'So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best'

Khan, who is worth £23million, announced the couple's split in August in a tweet that read: 'So me and the wife Faryal have agreed to split. I'm currently in Dubai. Wish her all the best'.

Weeks later, Faryal revealed she was expecting their second child.

Last month Faryal posted a lengthy message on Twitter saying it is time for her and Khan to put their 'differences behind us'.

She also apologised for all the 'infighting' between their parents, which she revealed has had a 'terrible effect' on her marriage.

She wrote to her 18,000 followers: 'The past three months have been really tough on me and my marriage.

Reconciliation? Faryal Makhdoom covered  her bump in a conservative ensemble as she stepped out WEARING her wedding ring... after hinting at reconciliation with estranged husband Amir Khan

Shock reunion: 'With my 4 month pregnant wife, after sorting out all the issues. Closing the year with a happy ending', Amir announced just before heading into the jungle 

'Matters haven't been helped by the fact that my husband has been out of the ring for quite some time... it's been very stressful for us as a couple, and a family.

'I now recognise that all this infighting between me and my in-laws has had a terrible effect on my husband and I... and for that I would like to sincerely apologise.

'My mother and father-in-law are the elders of our family and as such deserve love and respect just as much as my own parents do. I've said things in the past out of anger... I didn't really mean and regret now.'

She added: 'My daughter and unborn child do not deserve a broken home. That is why I have decided that it is time to put our differences behind us, and start afresh.

'All families go through hard times. It is unfortunate for us that our difficulties were played out so publicly. I also apologise for my part in that.'

Khan even accused his American wife of having an affair with heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua (pictured together)

But Khan then publicly turned down her offer of reconciliation, confirming to fans their divorce would go ahead. Faryal then took down the plea for forgiveness.

The couple had a very public falling out on Twitter earlier this year, with each side accusing the other of cheating.

Khan even accused his American wife of having an affair with heavyweight rival Anthony Joshua.

Khan hit out at his wife, writing: 'Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I'm not hurt but another fighter. I'm making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger.'

But Faryal hit back minutes later, claiming her husband left his family because they had 'robbed' him and telling him to 'stop making false things up'.

Branding him a '30-year-old baby', she went on to accuse him of sleeping with prostitutes and being a bad role model.

Joshua laughed off Khan's claims, posting the music video from pop star Shaggy's It Wasn't Me online, and saying he had never met Faryal.

The couple were forced to do TV interviews when a sex tape of Khan performing a sex act on a webcam while chatting with a model was leaked to a US porn site

Khan later apologised to Joshua and said there was 'no truth' to his claims.

The couple claim Khan was sent screenshots of 'fake' messages purportedly sent between Joshua and Faryal which he initially believed to be real.

Khan apologised after receiving a letter from Joshua's legal team demanding an apology for the allegations.

After Joshua wrote 'apology accepted', Khan tweeted: 'Glad all is cleared up and all lies. I got angry like any man would. No truth to it. Good to know. All the best.'

Problems began last year when Khan's family said his wife, an American model, dressed improperly for a Muslim woman.

She accused them of verbal and physical abuse, but in a TV interview Khan's parents called his wife an 'evil woman', while his sister claimed Faryal had prevented the family from seeing Lamaisah.

The couple were then hit by further drama when a sex tape of Khan performing a sex act on a webcam while chatting with a model was leaked to a US porn site.       

The topsy-turvy marriage of Amir and Faryal

The couple had been married for four years and shared a daughter together.

They first met when Faryal was 19 and Khan was 24 through mutual friends at a party in New York seven years ago.

At the time, the businesswoman, who runs a cosmetic company, was studying political science and journalism at Rutgers University School of Arts and Sciences in New Jersey.

In exclusive interview with You Magazine in April, she said when they met he said: ‘You’re like a girl I would marry', and she thought 'What a total bull*******.'

When he left they kept in touch over Skype, subsequently meeting again in London eight months later where the pair were photographed together outside Harrods.

They began dating shortly afterwards when he went to surprise her in New York. Three months later, the pair were formally engaged.

But weeks before the wedding in 2013 she was asked by Amir’s management team to sign a prenup.

She said during the interview: 'In our culture, that’s really bad. I couldn’t care less about the money but my parents felt very insulted, especially because they are so well off. My parents didn’t make Amir sign a prenup.'

The pair met in New York in 2010, when Faryal was 19 and Khan was 24, through mutual friends at a party

Faryal said she signed it nonetheless, but it was later cancelled by Amir when she fell pregnant with their daughter, Lamaisah. She was born in 2014.

They wed at Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York in front of 250 guests, followed by an elaborate celebration for 3,800 people in Bolton before she moved to the UK.

The pair lived a quiet and happy life for many years until the tail-end of 2016 when things began to sour.

In December, she launched an explosive rant on Snapchat, accusing Khan’s parents, Sajjad and Falak, of trying to destroy their marriage. 

She even claimed her 'evil, hating sister-in-law' Mariyah 'came to hit' her while her husband was not at home.

However Mariyah responded to the allegations by saying: 'Do I look like I can beat someone up?'

Faryal began her series of posts: ‘Don't get your sons married if you're going to abuse and bully the wife.

'I've always been so quiet but seriously this message is for everyone! When you bring someone's daughter – treat her as your own. Your son will be much happier & so will you. :)’

Using the Snapchat name Faryalxmakhdoom, she continued: 'When you force your son to divorce his wife, when she's nine months pregnant!!! And your son doesn't ... and he sticks besides his wife. He's called a p***y?

'Ok, I'm guessing Islam teaches us to get married and divorce our wives and treat them bad???

'My husband has done farrrrr more than any son has done. And far more than any brother has done. But why is he treated so bad? Jealousy? That's disgusting.'

While she did not name anyone in the messages, she endorsed comments by her followers which suggested it related to her in-laws.

She also shared a screenshot of Mariyah laughing at a comment on Instagram which suggested Faryal should have been on the 'dogwalk' rather than the catwalk – a reference to Faryal taking part in the Asiana Bridal Show in Birmingham earlier that month.

Faryal added: 'What have I actually done lol been a good wife to your broth.I worked my ass off on a catwalk from 7am till 12am at night.

'My husbands a multi-millionaire but still work and do my own as I can never touch his BLOOD money, when I have a right too! and then I get hating evil sister in laws s******g on me?'

Mariyah responded by saying she 'didn't need to justify herself on social media as "Allah is watching".'

Khan's brother Haroon also appeared to have his say, posting on Twitter: 'The world knows how good the khan family is #saynomore'.

Faryal later published a photograph of Haroon, the other son of Khan's parents Sajjad and Falak, lying on a bed naked and claiming he was drunk.

In an interview with Murtaza Ali Shah at Geo News, Khan’s parents rubbished Faryal's allegations, claiming she is 'lying' they never laid a hand on her and treated her like their own daughter.

Mr Khan said: 'Faryal was adopting a dress code which in the Islamic faith was not acceptable.

'I ask Faryal to produce evidence of violence. Where is the evidence? We have always held her in highest esteem and gave her the same level of respect and love that we gave to our two daughters.'

Falak said her daughter-in-law has called them 'paindoo' - Urdu for 'villagers' - used as a slur for primitive people from the Pakistani countryside.

She said: 'I am a proud Pakistani, I have always respected my in-laws and we have our traditions and values. No one abused Faryal and I once asked her to take dupatta (veil) and she didn't listen and I never brought up the subject again.

‘Amir told us that she doesn't listen to him and that we should tell her parents about that. We lived in the same house but Faryal never mixed with us. She called us “paindoo”. She has forgotten that the same paindoo parents gave birth to Amir Khan and brought him up'.

Khan released a statement on Twitter, describing the actions of both parties as 'childish'.

He said: 'I have supported my wife, and that's because she was in the right.

'Since I've been married I've seen how my family and siblings have treated her. It wasn't fair. I'm not happy that it's come out. It was a private matter and should've kept private.

'My siblings were posting on social media over and over again. I asked my father to have them remove it and no one listened to me.

'I was patient and kept quiet but FARYAL said she couldn't take it anymore and had to speak up. So she did.

'I supported her when it came to family bothering her or upsetting her. But I did not support siblings or my wife to be this childish all over the media, crying and bashing one another. It's really getting out of control and needs an end.'

In January, the couple’s relationship was strained after a sex tape, featuring Khan performing a sexual act on webcam as female model watched on, was published on major US pornographic website.

It was claimed the X-rated video was made shortly after the couple married in 2013.

Faryal was said to be 'absolutely disgusted' by the revelations, but continued to have a united front with her husband by posting a series of jokey Snapchats together.

Tensions between the boxer and his family deepened when he failed to attend Haroon’s wedding due to training.

Haroon was said to be 'bitterly disappointed' about his brother's absence, but Faryal hit back saying she didn't go because she was not wanted.

On Snapchat, she said: 'Everyone's been asking why I didn't attend Amir's brother's wedding. I kept quiet.

'But the truth is AMIR'S wife and child were not invited. Or even included in the celebrations. They could have at least tried.'

The claim came after Haroon revealed that his brother 'didn't even send a message of congratulations' after the event.

Haroon responded: 'We, family, friends, are all shocked and saddened by what his Faryal has been saying but we tried to forget about the negatives at the weekend and just enjoyed.

'She is a one off and lives by her own set of rules.' 

At the end of January, Khan revealed his father Shah, who was his manager, his uncle Taz Khan, formerly his consultant and lifelong best-friend Saj Mohammed, who was his assistant, were all no longer working with him.

He told SportsMail's Jeff Powell: 'I have had to grow up and take control of my own life.

'Dad won't be negotiating my contracts any more but I love them and they have been so good for me. But I've matured now and come to realise it is best to keep the two elements of my life apart.'

But his father was said to be 'humiliated' by his very public sacking. 

A family friend told MailOnline. 'Credit for that goes to Faryal who got Amir to do it.' 

Things quietened between the family for a few months until April, when, during an interview with the Daily Star, she said: 'After everything Amir has been through I'm the only one still standing here – no one else is. I don't see some of his friends, I don't see some of his family members.’ 

The couple continued to remain strong and even announced plans to adopt a child in the new future.

Speaking to The Sun, Khan said: 'When I was in Africa, I met so many young African kids and I loved them.

'I wanted to take them back home with me.' 

In June, the couple put their six-bedroom home in Lostock on the market for £1.6million. Two days ago, they knocked £200,000 off the asking price.
