I’m A Celeb’s most shocking rows from Nella and Fred to Gemma Collins vs the jungle
It’s been quite the series of I'm A Celeb, with plenty of drama and fun moments in equal measure to keep viewers entertained.
And while the campmates tend to live fairly harmoniously, it doesn’t always go to plan when tensions start to boil up.
We take a look back at some of the most shocking arguments to have aired on the ITV series over the years.
Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix
Nella and Fred had probably the most notable row of this year’s series, resulting in the YouTube star saying she no longer wanted to speak to him.
At one point Fred remarked that he was old enough to be Nella’s dad, a comment which left her furious. Nella, whose parents have both passed away, said to the First Dates star: “Don’t bring up my dead parents, are you stupid?”
After Fred apologised, she told him: “I accept your apology but let’s not be friends, how about that?”
In the Bush Telegraph, Nella added: “If I don’t like somebody, I’m not going to force myself to speak to them. This is not the kind of person I want to be around. These are not the kind of comments I want to be subject to.”
John Lydon and Katie Price
John and Katie took an instant dislike to each other when they entered the jungle back in 2004.
At one point, things got particularly frosty after John became riled with Katie using the camp’s water supply to wash her hair.
Making his thoughts on the reality TV favourite very clear, he described her as “f*****g talentless".
He fumed: "I'm not here to support a Page 3 f*****g blow up balloon. Right? I f*****g ain't. No f*****g more. B****s to you. I've had enough of this s**t."
Speaking about their rows 17 years on from the show in 2021, Katie called him “a nasty piece of work", to The Sun adding: "I witnessed it in the jungle."
Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks
Former glamour model Janice and PR guru Lynne had quite the personality clash during the 2007 series.
They quickly fell out, and argued pretty incessantly throughout the series, with rows beginning over how to prepare food.
Lynne couldn’t help but make some digs in Janice’s direction, leading the latter to demand she "knock off the remarks".
However, Lynne later told Janice: "You’re one of the most horrible people I’ve ever encountered."
But Janice had some even harsher words to share back in her direction, saying of Lynne: "I’m going to stab her in the middle of the night and take her [bed].
“You think I’m kidding? I’ll eat her t**s. I’ll fry up those big old boobs."
Janet Street Porter and Brian Harvey
Outspoken Loose Women star Janet really didn’t take kindly to East 17’s Brian’s farting habit.
While she was attempting to cook a meal, he kept farting around the campfire, leading Janet to say: “Listen, don't do that when we're cooking. It's so inappropriate."
Brian responded: “You're cooking dinner! You're f*****g over there, I'm over there. Don't keep f*****g having a go at me about farting!
"Just because you think it's wrong doesn't mean everyone else thinks it's wrong. I'm farting because I need to f*****g fart, because all I've eaten is f*****g beans!
"I take it very personal because you know that there's 16 million people watching!"
Not longer after the row, he walked from the jungle, telling viewers he was sick of being "treated like a kid" in the jungle.
Nicola Mclean and David Van Day
Another pair who couldn’t stop rowing were singer-songwriter David and model Nicola, who appeared on the show back in 2008.
At one point on the show, Nicola told David to "go into a cave and cry because you’re afraid of the dark", proceeding to call him a "snake" as she was voted off.
She later made claims about his behaviour on the show: “I was washing a car but he thought it was appropriate to spank my bum and try to kiss me," she claimed.
"His behaviour was very strange and made me feel so uncomfortable. I'd gone from arguing non-stop with this man who was old enough to be my father – to have his hands on my body when I was wearing my bikini.
"It was very sexually inappropriate."
Speaking of their various spats last year, Nicola called him her least favourite campmate on Instagram, sharing: "He was an absolute t***. Literally his sole purpose was to p*** everyone off."
Matthew Wright and Alfonso Ribiero
Matthew, who appeared in the 2013 series, clashed with multiple campmates throughout his time on the show.
But one of the most bizarre outbursts happened in the direction of former Fresh Prince of Bel Air star, Alfonso, as they argued over grammar.
Former morning show host Matthew called out Alfonso for confusing the words “minimum" and "maximum”, who wasn’t very happy about the correction.
"Matthew, enough!" he said. "Enough! Okay, enough! I've had enough of your f*****g s**t. I'm done with you talking about it."
At the time, Matthew labelled it “a completely unnecessary outburst”, but Alfonso continued: "I've had enough of his a**. I'm done with him saying every time I say something, 'No you are wrong, I'm right, you are wrong'.
"Well, no, you are f*****g not! I will take respect in a debate rather than, 'You are f*****g wrong'."
Luckily, they did eventually hug it out, but fellow campmate David Emmanuel labelled them as “drama queens”, and said: “It's an emotional rollercoaster here, they haven't been seeing eye to eye for some time, but today it erupted into a real showbiz bitch!"
Gillian McKeith and Shaun Ryder
Famous nutritionist Gillian had quite the fallout with Happy Mondays frontman Shaun when the pair popped up on the show back in 2010.
Shaun had enough of Gillian’s theatrics during one Bushtucker Trial, which made her scream, leading Shaun to brand her "a f*****g irritating woman."
Gillian then called Shaun “disgusting” for the way he spoke to people, but he wasn’t having any of it.
He hit back: "You say the nasty things all the time… your tone, everything. The way you speak to everyone."
The musician did apologise for his remarks, but added: "She's just rude and she's said some rude things to the girls. It's all right for her to say things, put people down or talk to them like s***, which she does.
"Yet you give it to her and she can't take it."
Gemma Collins vs the jungle
Gemma was one of the most exciting bookings for the show when she joined the line-up back in 2014.
It became clear moments in that Gemma wasn’t going to enjoy the experience, as she asked to get out of a helicopter just after beginning her journey on the show.
She pleaded: “Can you stop a minute, please, I’m serious, just stop, I need to get out, seriously I’m going to be sick, I can’t do it, no way.”
“I got into the chopper and suddenly felt very scared but thought I can’t show anyone I’m scared, but I cried like a baby and I don’t think I’m going to be able to do this jungle lark.”
After complaining at every possible opportunity, it turned out the GC really wasn’t cut out for jungle life, and quit after just three days on the show.
At one point, she claimed to cameras: “People who murder get treated better than this. That’s the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day.”
