Biggest-ever I'm A Celebrity feuds as fireworks predicted to fly between Kelly Brook and Ruby Wax
There have been some iconic feuds over the yearsI’m A Celebrity has proved to be the backdrop for a number of huge feuds over the years, but which stars were involved in the biggest rows?
Being stranded in a jungle for three weeks would create tension for anyone. But add in being stuck with people you may not necessarily like, while hungry, tired and away from your loved ones, and it’s no surprise that some stars get into heated arguments.
Here, as one expert predicts possible tension between model and radio presenter Kelly Brook and Ruby Wax, let’s have a look back at the biggest feuds ever to have graced the I’m A Celebrity jungle…
1. Edwina Currie and Kendra Wilkinson
Way back in 2014, Edwina Currie and Kendra Wilkinson clashed during their time on the show. There was one particular moment in the camp where the pair got into a huge row after Kendra gave a speech on how you shouldn’t “live your life for other people”.
When Edwina heard what she had said, she was shocked, completely disagreeing with everything she had said. Things got more tense, as the volume of the argument got louder as Edwina told her: “You’re a mother! You are a mother!”
But Kendra wasn’t ready to back down, and proceeded to get extremely annoyed. She said: “Shut the [bleep] up and get the [bleep] out of our conversation. Because you are not seeing the heart of it.”
That wasn’t even the end of it, as Edwina refused to back down, causing Kendra to get even more angry.
She yelled: “You’re a grown woman starting [bleep] with a young woman like this, trying to be hurtful. You come in with your devilish heartless [bleep] piece of [bleep] and try to damage me. No, [bleep] you.”
The argument didn’t end until Kendra was physically held back by other campmates!
2. Kim Woodburn and Katie Price’s I’m A Celebrity feuds
In 2009, the late Kim Woodburn and glamour girl Katie Price didn’t see eye-to-eye at all. And, on multiple occasions during their jungle stay, they got into a row.
Kim notably found herself snapping after Katie said she was in the jungle for some “peace”. She said: “You live and die for publicity and you do it well. As Shakespeare once said: ‘We fear you protesteth too much.’
“Look at her little face. You know full well you have got 10 to 12 million people watching every night. And you know, madam, you will be all over the papers every day. Now stop it. Stop your nonsense.”
3. David Van Day and Nicola McLean
There was no one moment that started this feud back in 2008 – it was there from the very beginning of the series.
From day one, David and Nicola found themselves arguing about absolutely anything. And, over the course of the show, they had numerous clashes.
However, when Nicola was voted out, she made sure to get the final word as she left, warning her campmates: “Watch out everyone, there is a snake in the camp.” Ouch!
4. Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks
Things between Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks heated up during I’m A Celebrity 2007. Both were huge characters on the show, and couldn’t resist getting into a few arguments. But, during one of their rows, Lynne broke down in tears and told Janice: “You are one of the most horrible people I have ever encountered.”
However, Janice wasn’t backing down, calling Lynne a “witch” and even shockingly threatened to fry her “big old boobs” and serve them to the camp!
5. Janet Street-Porter and Brian Harvey had I’m A Celebrity feud
During their time on the show, Janet and East 17 star Brian became embroiled in a feud for the most ridiculous reason.
Back in 2004, Brian annoyed his campmates by farting around the campfire while Janet was cooking. And she didn’t take it lightly.
In a heated moment, Janet told him: “Listen, don’t do that when we’re cooking. It’s so inappropriate.”
But he responded: “Janet, we are [bleep]ing outside.” To which she responded: “Perhaps you can come and cook dinner tomorrow night, and I will come and fart in your face.”
6. Natalie Appleton and Sophie Anderton
Way back in 2004, Natalie Appleton and Sophie Anderton clashed in a series of arguments during their time in the jungle.
Natalie accused Sophie of being “self-obsessed” and having “no emotion”, but their biggest row came after Sophie refused to eat a “vomit fruit”.
Ultimately, Natalie decided to leave the show as she was no longer happy in the camp.
Who is expected to join the I’m A Celebrity feuds list?
This year’s series features a wide range of huge names. But some are already predicted to clash in the jungle.
Joseph Hagan, Celebrity Publicist and Founder of Streamline PR, told our sister site Entertainment Daily that he can see model Kelly Brook and comic Ruby Wax coming to blows.
“Kelly Brook and Ruby Wax could unintentionally rub each other the wrong way. Kelly is warm and self deprecating, but she openly relies on reassurance and structure, especially without her husband beside her.
“Ruby, on the other hand, leads with sharp humour and emotional directness. She’s incredibly direct and insightful. If Ruby slips into interviewer mode or pushes for deeper conversations than Kelly wants, it could create tension. And, if she challenges someone who doesn’t want introspection or calls out behaviour she finds disingenuous, that honesty can cause friction.”
As for who will smooth things over, Joseph has tipped Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp for the camp peacemaker role. He added: “Martin Kemp could become the camp’s stabiliser. He’s calm, experienced and used to managing pressure. People may lean on him when emotions run high.”
