Tensions already appear to be rising in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! camp. In the latest episode, which aired on November, Tuesday 8, pop icon Boy George was seen to be voicing his feelings towards fellow campmate Loose Woman Charlene White, dubbing her "controlling" to A Place in the Sun's Scarlette Douglas.
After the campmates received their meal consisting of kangaroo sausages, viewers saw Charlene take charge in the kitchen, telling her co-stars: "Slice them small and stir fry them with the spring onions."
In the Bush Telegraph, Scarlette said: "This camp, aka 'Charlene’s kitchen' you do what she says, when she says it, get it right."

Later on, Boy George visited the Bush Telegraph and said: "It’s so weird, that [food] bag comes down and Charlene just turns into an entirely different person. It’s amazing, she issues orders and tells everyone what to do. I’m like, 'Wow'. You know, it’s like, 'Who are you?' Charlene she just issues orders. For me as an observer of my own feelings, it’s mind-blowing."
After washing up, Scarlette walked back into camp and said to Boy George: "Didn’t fancy helping BG?" The 61-year-old singer responded: “I just feel like Charlene’s very controlling. She tells you what to do and it really rubs you up the wrong way. I’m struggling with that, but I’ll get over it. It’s fine, she’s very sweet as well so it’s a real contradiction. There’s this controlling side and then there’s this caring side and it confuses me.”
The pair were soon silenced when Charlene walked into the main camp, leaving an air of awkwardness. Later in the show, however, Boy George was seen talking to Charlene on her role as "the boss" in camp, and asked her to delegate tasks to the other stars.
He said: "It might be good to say to people, ‘Right you do this today.’ Otherwise I’m going to feel like I’m not doing anything. I want to win stars, that’s my main thing, I’m going to do everything I can to get stars.
"I want to contribute. You’re very strong. Listen, you’re such a beautiful contradiction because you’re like tough, and then you’ve got this beautiful side to you. But it’s challenging for me. I have to say it’s challenging for me.”
When Charlene later questioned him on this, Boy George replied: “Because I’m such a control freak. It’s my stuff."
He continued: "I want to try and really enjoy this without... do you know what I mean? I don't know." Impersonating Charlene's stance, Boy George added: "Because you are such a matriarch… and you better accept it, don’t even deny it, look at you, ‘What do you mean?’ So Charlene, I don’t mind if you tell me what to do but give me some jobs if you’re going to be the boss."
Behind the closed doors of the Bush Telegraph, away from campmates, Charlene later told the camera: “We are the democracy of the jungle. There is no like leader, we haven’t told everybody what their roles are, we’ve just not done that, kind of fallen into roles.”
Boy George also told viewers: “I’m happy to do nothing if people want to take charge. People are taking it but I think there’s going to be some rebellions.”
This feud, which doesn't appear to be the first viewers have spotted, comes soon after the camp lost one of their cohort, Olivia Attwood, who quit the show unexpectedly on medical grounds, leaving the campmates short. But this isn't to be for long as two wild card celebrities are soon to be joining the remaining stars.
