However, the former football manager said there is definitely no bad blood between himself and I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! co-star Emily Atack, thankfully.
The awkward moment came after Harry Redknapp, 72, had just won the title of King of the Jungle on the ITV show.
The star was speaking about his victory to Piers Morgan and Kate Garraway on daytime TV show Good Morning Britain.
However, things quickly moved on to whether Emily, 29, would have a chance with Harry’s son Jamie Redknapp.
“I saw her in the jungle and I thought ‘no you ain’t got a prayer’”

This came after The Inbetweeners star Emily admitted to fancying Jamie, 45, while they were in the jungle.
Harry brutally told them: “I’ll be honest, when I saw her in the jungle I thought ‘no chance’, but I saw her today, she looks very beautiful.”
As Piers and Kate scolded Harry for his comments, he quickly added: “I saw her in the jungle and I thought ‘no you ain’t got a prayer’, but today when I saw her scrubbed up she looked amazing.”
GMB viewers were quick to blast Harry over the comments.

However, when asked if there was any animosity from Emily over the jibe, Harry assured us there wasn’t.
Talking exclusively to Daily Star Online, Harry said: “Emily’s brilliant. She looks amazing.”
He also gushed over the actress’ new role as Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry in Sky Arts show Urban Myths.
Harry continued: “I see she’s going to be Debbie Harry, she’ll be great.

“I only just heard the news actually, I’m looking forward to seeing that.
“She’s a really talented girl.”
Harry said he keeps in contact with Emily and the rest of his I’m A Celeb campmates on a WhatsApp group.
We bet Emily shared some choice words in it after her blasted her on TV.
