It's not taken long for things to kick off in the jungle following Fred Sirieix's ‘disrespectful’ comment row with Nella Rose.
If you don't know what we're on about, take a look below:
Campmates Sirieix, Rose, Nigel Farage, Marvin Humes, Josie Gibson, Nick Pickard, Danielle Harold, Sam Thompson, Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent are coming to terms with their NEW surroundings as episode three of the ITV show aired on Tuesday (21 November) evening.

To give some context to the row, it's important to note that earlier in the series, social media star Rose told Sirieix that her father had passed away.
A while later, the pair were speaking about their age difference (he's 51, Rose is 26), and Fred said he 'could be her dad'.
The next day, Rose lashed out at Sirieix, saying she felt 'disrespected' by his comment.
Rose explained in the Bush Telegraph: "Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad.
"I took offence to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad's passed away."
Sirieix had called Rose over to have some food, but the social media star was reluctant to eat.
The First Dates star approached Rose and said: "Nella? Darling? You don't want to eat?"
Rose replied: "Can you leave me alone?"
She explained he'd made a comment the day before, saying: "You know that my mum's dead, and you know that my dad's dead. You know that, right?"
After having it out with him, Sirieix replied: "I am so sorry. Can I just say? First of all, I am sorry I've offended you. I am unaware that you felt offended.
"I am unaware that what I said would lead to this conversation, I only said that in a way because I am older than you, I am 51 and you're 26."
Rose said: "I'm not stupid, you're not going to little girl me, you're not."
Fred replied: "It wasn't like that at all.
"Either I made a mistake and I said something and I offended you, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry you feel like this."
Rose said: "I accept your apology, but in order for us to live in this camp together, I don't want to eat no food that you're cooking, don't talk to me, you stay over there, I stay over here and we can live. I'm good. Yeah. You stay over there. Look at your face, you're smiling."
Sirieix added: "You could have said straight away, 'Excuse me Fred this is upsetting me.'"
Now, taking to social media today, Sirieix partner, Fruitcake, addressed the incident and said in a statement: "Tough watch for some of the show tonight but Fred did us so proud – we know his intention would never be to upset anyone. Keep your head up Fred – we love you."
