I’m a Celebrity campmates have falling out over meal

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! aired increasing tension between Josie Gibson and Fred Sirieix in its latest episode as they had a falling out over food.

The show has already seen the two campmates row when it comes to meal times, and last night’s (December 4) episode saw things escalate again as Josie, who had been given the role of camp chef, took the reins at dinner.

After some tension over beans earlier in the episode, Fred had won the camp kangaroo tail for dinner as a result of winning seven stars in a trial.

Josie then suggested that they stew the tail, before Fred proposed braising it, leading to some awkwardness between the two.

“I am happy to take Fred’s advice, he’s a trained chef at the end of the day,” Josie said in the Bush Telegraph. “But I’m not being rude – not even Fred knows how to deal with a kangaroo tail.”

“I’m going to stew it all Fred, that’s what I’m doing,” she then told him, though given it would take a few hours to get ready, the maître d’ suggested frying rice with mushrooms to have in the meantime, Josie hitting back: “You’re just going to have to wait mate.”

“But we’re going to wait for two hours,” he complained, with Josie suggesting: “If you wanna put yourself out some rice Fred, put yourself out some rice.”

As Josie cooked, Tony Bellew tried to defuse things as Fred continued to complain, the boxer saying: “I know you can’t help it,” though noted it “stresses [Josie] out and is going to panic her.”

Josie added in the Bush Telegraph: “It’s highly annoying when somebody is constantly looking over your shoulder, ‘do this, do that!’ and it’s not going to do anything. He’s there going, ‘ooh la la, you’re doing it wrong’.”

“Fred you’ve just got to give me the reins, my love,” she told him back in camp, leading to Fred insisting: “Josie I can cook!”

“Well I’ve done four meals here and everybody’s loved it,” she replied.

“Watching Josie cook is excruciating, but what I’m witnessing here is like a horror movie from the 80s,” Fred said in the Bush Telegraph.

However, Josie’s meal went down a treat in camp as the others heaped praise on it.

“You make me question myself all the time Fred, but I know what I’m doing,” Josie said.

Later on, after Fred had finished the washing up, he thanked Josie for the meal.

Elsewhere in last night’s episode, the show said goodbye to Nella Rose after she became the second campmate to be voted out of the jungle.
