IAN WRIGHT was left utterly shocked after he learned of Unai Emery’s sacking following his I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here exit.
Arsenal legend Wrighty, 56, missed the sacking of both Emery and North London rival Mauricio Pochettino while he was in the jungle.
After being voted out, the former Gunners striker was left a hilarious voicemail by old pal Alan Shearer – who admitted he’d be voting for Wright to take part in the daunting Bushtucker Trials.
Shearer said: “Wrighty! If you’re hearing this, you must be out of the jungle.
“Thank god for that… I don’t have to vote for you any more to do all those trials. And, of course, to stay in.
“Anyway, we will welcome you back on Match of the Day on the 14th (December).”
Shearer then went on to tell Wright exactly what he’d missed while he was Down Under – including some massive managerial changes.
A shocked Wrighty listened intently as the Newcastle legend continued: “[Unai] Emery’s gone, [Mauricio] Pochettino’s gone…
“I hope you don’t bring that high-pitched screaming we saw in the jungle doing those trials with James [Haskell].
“Well done! See you soon, bye-bye.”
Hilariously, Wright’s immediate take-away from the message was his beloved Arsenal’s sacking of Emery – replaced by Freddie Ljungberg on an interim basis.
After putting his phone down, the Gunners legend said: “Emery’s gone?!”
Seeming utterly stunned, Wrighty placed his hand over his chest as the camera panned away.
Despite being an early favourite to win I’m A Celeb, Wright finished eighth of 12 contestants in the 19th series of the hit TV show.
Former EastEnders star Jacqueline Jossa was ultimately Queen of the Jungle, as rugby star Haskell came in ninth in a disappointing showing for the sporting members of the camp.
Wright headed back to England admitting he needs to work on his anger issues, admitting: “I lose it too quickly, it’s something that I’m working on.”
The revelation came after a series of heated rows on the show – with the man himself blaming a lack of food on his mood swings.
