Another I'm A Celeb feud surfaces after filming as star accused of 'leaking stories to the press’

I'm A Celeb has been full of feud this year, but two more stars have had a falling out since filming finished

The second season of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here: South Africa! has been the most controversy filled in years, with feuds between cast members seeming to spawn every other day.

First, David Haye got into a spat with several I’m A Celeb all-star camp members who called the boxer out for his ‘sexist’ comments about how his girlfriend has the ‘personality of an ugly bird’.

Then came an argument between Haye and Adam Thomas, who the boxer has savaged in a new interview in which he called the actor a ‘victim’ just yesterday.

Add to that an on-camera argument between Thomas and Jimmy Bullard, and this season has seemed to have more feuds between cast mates than the last five years combined.

Another I’m A Celeb however has managed to develop after filming stopped, with Sinitta claiming that her and Gemma Collins have had a falling out.

Sinitta and Collins had beef in the jungle after the singer branded GC a ‘joke’

Sinitta claims that the feud started outside the jungle, but the pair already had a slightly heated moment on the TV show itself.

This centred around Collins taking over from Sinitta as Mama Morton in Chicago, with the TOWIE star having been announced in 2022. The role would’ve marked Collins’ theatrical debut, however she had to pull out days prior due to a knee injury.

Discussing it in the jungle the American singer asked about her pulling out before saying: “Oh ok, because we were like, ‘Was this, is this like a sort of joke announcement?”

When Collins stated it was genuine and she had trained for it she said: “Just because, I think the last thing I’d seen – I think you’d just presented something at an awards and fallen off the stage. It was kind of like you were more of a comedian.”

This elicited a tense response in the camp, with Collins saying: “I don’t think you’d get cast as Mama Morton in Chicago if you didn’t pass the audition.” Things have not ended there between the two however.

Sinitta says Collins refused to follow her and has accused her of leaking stories

Appearing on Good Morning Britain Sinitta said that Collins had accused her of leaking stories to the press.

She claimed that ‘even if she did’ want to sell stories about the TOWIE star she ‘didn’t know enough about her’ to do that.

She added: “I was there, we all got on so well and it’s a shame all of this.

“We’re planning holidays, we’re having lunch, me and Gemma [went for lunch]… I was kind of shocked that we weren’t friends.”

She went on to weigh in on the claims that David Haye had been bullying Adam Thomas, claiming: “There was no bullying thing, if you remember when we were in two separate camps it was actually Adam goading David.”

Some of the most memorable feuds of I'm a Celebrity

Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks

Two very large personalities went head to head in 2007's I'm a Celeb with their constant arguing.

Writer Lynne eventually snapped at the former model, saying in tears: "You’re one of the most horrible people I’ve ever encountered."

And then, in the most Janice Dickinson-style ever, the America's Next Top Model judge called Lynne a 'witch' and threatened to fry up her ‘big old boobs’ and serve them to the campmates.

Kim Woodburn and Katie Price

The late Kim Woodburn was well known for her fiery personality, and in 2009 when she was on I'm a Celeb with glamour model Katie Price, this was very much showcased.

Kim was quick to show some honesty when Katie asked the camp what they thought of her, saying: "You live and die for publicity and you do it well. As Shakespeare once said, 'We fear you protesteth too much'.

"You know full well you’ve got 10 to 12 million people watching every night and you know, madam, you’ll be all over the papers every day. Now stop it. Stop your nonsense."

Kim also said 'for some reason' the British public 'love' Katie and if she had 'her looks, she'd do it'. And as in 'do it', she meant pose in a bikini for the papers.

Edwina Currie and Kendra Wilkinson

In the 2014 stint of the reality show, former politician Edwina Currie and TV personality Kendra Wilkinson butted heads several times.

While the pair didn't ever have a dramatic bust up, resentment clearly built up during their time in the Aussie jungle, with former Playboy bunny Kendra taking a swipe at her campmate upon her eviction.

"My God. I have no sympathy towards her," she said of Edwina.

Speaking further about comments made about her, Kendra said: "She’s a coward because she can’t say that to my face. She might want to grow a heart and learn how to learn about others. I don’t come from luxury like her.

"I mean she’s gross, she’s a gross person. To be honest with you I won’t even be able to look at Edwina again."

Edwina later went on to swipe back, saying that Kendra 'isn't even a proper celebrity'.

Lady Colin Campbell and Tony Hadley

I think we all remember where we were when this one kicked off in 2015.

It all started when Lady C, a socialite who's best known for being a Royal Family fanatic, threw a beetle the camp had found in the open fire - much to the dismay of Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley.

When he called out the TV personality for doing that to the 'beautiful beetle', she responded by saying: "I don’t need any input from you... You are a hypocritical pretentious arsehole. I’ve had enough of you. It’s none of your f**king business, a***hole."

She went on: "You’re a chippy oik with a mouth of diarrhoea. My opinion of you is that you are the lowest of the low, a bore. Let me tell you something, boy, you are of no significance to me. You’re so used to creeps and dollybirds, tarts.

"You don’t even have a good voice."

Andrew Maxwell and Ian Wright

When the 2019 camp erupted in a sexism row while preparing dinner, Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell accused footballer Ian Wright of 'singling him out'.

"You keep shouting at me Ian," he said, which prompted Ian to hit back: "Who is shouting, when did I shout? I wasn’t even talking to you, what did I say?"

After arguing, the pair eventually hugged it out - a rarity for these campside feuds - with Andrew saying: "I’m sorry, I’m really tired, I don’t know, I’m really tired… I’m not going to cry, I’m sorry."
