It's been a windy night for celebrities in the I'm A Celebrity... South Africa camp as the rice and beans begin to take their toll. On tonight's episode (May 5) of the ITV show, viewers watched as the stars continued to embrace life in their seemingly peaceful South African camp.
However, the quiet of the camp was short-lived at the start of tonight's show after celebrity Joe Swash loudly broke wind. Speaking on the show Joe said: "I've had a bit of a problem the last couple of days with the rice and beans - they make me very windy, so I'm doing a lot of farting."

And, it appears that Joe was not alone. As the camera returned to camp, viewers watched as a flatulent Fatima Whitbread edge ever closer to an unsuspecting Joe before bending over and farting. Startled by the noise, Joe questioned: "Fatima, have you farted on me?"
To which Fatima replied: "Touche, touche." Joe added: "I woke myself up with my own fart."
Fatima said: "He was giving us a little bit of foghorn, so we'll pay him a compliment." The amused star went on to call herself 'Fartima'.
Returning to the camera, Joe claimed that he had to have a look at Fatima's shorts after fearing he thought she may have 'put a hole' in them.
He said: "I had to have a look as I thought she put a hole in her shorts. It come out with some velocity. I don't know if that's because she's Olympian, they fart differently to us, but it was definitely a more powerful fart than I have ever done meself." He finished off by saying: "Because I love her so much, I quite appreciated it."
Fans of the show took to Twitter to share their amusement, with several viewers branding her as 'Fartima'. One Twitter user said: "Fartima Whitbread I'm A Celeb."
Another wrote: "Fatima Wind-bread." Some viewers were not so impressed by the scene, branding it as 'disgusting'. One person said: "Well that was disgusting. Why did Fatima do that??"
Another wrote: "Fatima that’s gross, Joe hasn’t been farting near you."
