I’m A Celebrity South Africa fans have already rumbled another feud that they think could explode – this time between Gemma Collins and David Haye.

Eagle-eyed viewers have been watching the new series with close attention and are convinced the two campmates could end up in “a ruck”.

It is even feared the pair could descend into a ‘Lady C-style’ fallout due to their big personalities.

Lady C  – real name Lady Colin Campbell – had a famously epic feud with Duncan Bannatyne and Tony Hadley in the jungle in 2015, before quitting the show.

But could Gemma and David really be following in her footsteps?

I’m A Celebrity fans predict Gemma and David feud

Gemma entered Kruger National Park in South Africa alongside former soap star Craig Charles last night (Tuesday April 7, 2026). The pair were late arrivals to this year’s spin-off series.

Former TOWIE star Gemma has insisted she is going to be “herself” in camp, rather than her alter-ego The G.C, but her entrance was still dramatic nonetheless.

Gemma, dressed in an over-the-top floaty green dress, faced her fear of helicopters. In the 2014 series of I’m A Celebrity, she refused to fly in one before quitting the show after 72 hours.

But although she did fly, Gemma – who says she is after “redemption” – squealed: “Don’t let me die!”

Boxer David, meanwhile, has also already caught fans’ attention. The main bone of contention is his decision to send 69-year-old Coronation Street icon, Beverley Callard, to the basic camp on Day 1.

Some viewers even branded him “misogynistic” for the move. Others are also claiming they can spot tensions between David and Sir Mo Farah.

But it’s now feared David and Gemma could be heading for a clash.

Writing on Reddit, one I’m A Celebrity South Africa fan said: “I have visions of Gemma Collins and David Haye having a big ruck at some point. I feel like they are both such big personalities that they will clash. And David is annoying.”

Another added: “I said this to my partner earlier on. I really think these two will butt heads.”

Agreeing, a third chipped in: “When was the last time we had a real Lady C level tiff other than petty arguments?”

Gemma and Craig’s I’m A Celebrity cliffhanger

Gemma and Craig were really put to the test in last night’s I’m A Celebrity South Africa. The newbies were immediately faced with a disgusting eating challenge to determine their places in camp.

The pair were divided by a screen and faced with piles of animal innards and body parts to consume. Gemma and Craig had to second guess how many each other would agree to eat. The person who put the most on their plate then had to eat them all.

Gemma was sick in a bucket and yelled that she was “going to be hospitalised”. Craig almost brought everything up, too.

But they both ploughed on.

Tuesday night’s show then ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, with both challenging each other to down 30 shots of pigs blood.

Gemma is trying to win points for Savannah Scrub, while Craig is attempting to win points for the main camp. Viewers were furious that the show ended on such a tense moment, though!
