Monday marked the start of this year's All Stars spin-off of ITV's I'm A Celebrity, with familiar faces returning to camp - but this time in South Africa. While it seemed everyone was getting to know each other and kicking off on a good start, tensions are already beginning to rise - especially between two campmates.
Gillian McKeith surprised celebs when she arrived as a surprise latecomer - following her infamous stint on the show back in 2010. She created some iconic moments for the show - including when she fainted ahead of her Bushtucker Trial and her very turbulent relationship with fellow camper Shaun Ryder, as reported by MEN.
Luckily - or perhaps, not so - the duo are back in the jungle camp once more for ITV's 2023's All Stars, and viewers could see instantly how Shaun felt when he saw Gillian make her surprise arrival. After Monday's cliff-hanger, Shaun on Tuesday said: “I was very surprised. I probably could have done without it being Gillian, yeah."

Meanwhile, Gillian added: “How do I feel about Shaun Ryder being here? I said hello, he said hello, it was all very cordial. What can I say?” When asked by fellow campmate Paul Burrell: “Is she as mad as a box of frogs?”, Shaun replied: “Yeah… I nearly killed her," in reference to his previous time with the Scottish nutritionist.
During Tuesday's instalment, Gillian complained about the state of the camp's toilet and people 'widdling' on the seat. She vented: "It's disgusting."
But many viewers were quick to remind Gillian that she used to be on telly inspecting faeces on Channel 4's You Are What You Eat show in the noughties. On Twitter, @Jomariemiles said: "Gillian saying the dunny is gross! She used to examine (poo emojis)." and
@Adammarkrobson added: "Gillian, you made a living from poop you should be in your element!" @Clfvegan added: "Gillian M used to poke through the poop of strangers every week, and she’s moaning about a long drop!!!"
@BobbyGlennie questioned: "Seriously Gillian whose spent hours sifting through people's s**** saying anything is disgusting ..... nah no way." @Xamy_elizabeth typed: "I don’t know why Gillian is so bothered about the poo… isn’t this the same woman who used to inspect peoples poo on national tv?!"
