I'm A Celebrity fans throw support behind Jack Osbourne as tension with Shona McGarty almost bubbles over
Shona said she wanted to 'poke Jack with a stick'I’m A Celebrity viewers have thrown their support behind Jack Osbourne after a dispute with Shona McGarty about the cooking in camp threatened to bubble over.
Jack came under fire from some of his campmates last night as Shona and Tom Read Wilson prepared the dinner.
The son of late-rockstar Ozzy was accused of meddling after he shared his concerns about their raw meat being covered in flies.
He also stepped in to help Shona cut a particularly tough piece of corn into smaller pieces.
Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Shona said she could have “poked Jack with a stick”. Martin Kemp also complained about there being “too many cooks” around camp.
But fans have rallied behind Jack for stepping in during dinner time.
Jack Osbourne and Shona McGarty cooking tension
Sharing their thoughts on Instagram, one viewer said: “Jack’s main complaint was ‘I don’t want to eat fly (bleep)’. I think that’s fairly valid.” Another replied: “Right? Common sense, you cover the raw meat.”
Someone else wrote:”I understand why he wouldn’t want flies on the meat though, thats for the sake of all their health.” And one fan chimed in: “Jack does have a valid point.. who wants flies on food?”
The near-row happened during Tuesday night’s episode of I’m A Celebrity. Shona had won eight stars out of nine in Walk The Plank, which earned the campmates a dinner of kangaroo rump and veg.
As she tried to chop a large sweetcorn, Jack went over and helped. Ruby Wax noted: “Jack steps in.” He then spotted the raw kangaroo rump left out in the open with a massive blue bottle sat on it.
Flapping his hands over it, Jack told Shona and Tom: “Don’t leave meat like this because there’s flies. Don’t leave it unattended.”
Shona was looking increasingly announced. This was only heightened when Ruby made another complaint.
Ruby Wax: ‘They’re ruining the corn’
The comedy icon said: “My fear is about the corn. The corn should not be overdone. Let’s take it off. We shouldn’t over-boil it.”
Looking at a disgruntled Shona, Ruby said: “I can’t make her happy.” Kelly Brook told Shona she could tell the camp to “pipe down” if she wanted. Brandishing her wooden spoon, Shona said to Ruby: “Pipe down.”
In the Bush Telegraph, Ruby went on: “The corn in my book should be left until the meat is finished. But I think they’re ruining the corn by making it early. It shouldn’t be in the water now, it will have no taste.”
Some fans have, however have taken Shona’s side. Even former campmate Melvin Odoom said: “Cooking is the hardest job in camp! Shona had so much patience.”
Another viewer added: “Well done Shona again for keeping your cool and proving them wrong, does Ruby even cook?” And one fan joked: “Shona is a Saint! I’d of gotten the corn and thrown the pot over her!”
What time is I’m A Celebrity on tonight?

Another celebrity will leave the show tonight, hot on the heels of latest casualty, Kelly Brook.
