I’m A Celebrity star Sam Quek criticised for ‘insensitive’ treatment of Harry Styles

"It's very selfish of you to take advantage of any of them at this fragile moment."

Do you think it was inappropriate?

Following the sad news that Louis Tomlinson’s mother Johannah passed away, his band-mates came together to support him during Saturday night’s X Factor performance.

Liam, Niall and Harry all reportedly came to the show to be with their friend during the tough time.

Several of the 1D boys have publicly commented on the sad news, and were said to be close to Johannah, who died on Wednesday.

While on the X Factor set, Olympian Sam Quek got a selfie with Harry Styles and posted it on social media with the caption ”So… no biggy or anything but this just happened”.

Twitter users were quick to blast the athlete, who also appeared on I’m a Celebrity, for getting a photo with Harry.

Some people defended Sam, adding that it is his choice to say yes to the photo.

Quek has not commented on any of the criticism at this point.
