I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is in full swing as tensions start to boil over at camp.

Wednesday’s episode (27 November) saw Dean McCullough in hot water with his bunkmates after the radio presenter continuted to skip his chores. Luckily, McFly’s Danny Jones had the perfect blunt response.

Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly similarily haven’t held back when poking fun – and even growing frustrated – at the castmates, with McCullough also falling victim to the presenting duo’s many jokes.

Reverend Richard Coles and GK Barry continued to develop their new friendship, while Coleen Rooney opened up about Wayne’s career at Plymouth Argyle amid calls from the club’s fans for a new manager.

Viewers at home, however, were largely distracted by the somewhat cheekily named “Rank Bank” challenge that Jones, McCullough, and Alan Halsall will be partaking in on Thursday (28 November) – not to mention Reverend Richard Coles’ startling nipple confession to GK Barry.

Ant and Dechave just gone into camp to reveal the result of the vote – and, straight off the bat, it might be Maura.

It’s not Alan, GK Barry, Reverend Richard, Jane, Dean, Coleen, Barry, Danny, Melvin, Oti – meaning it might also be Tulisa.

The public have decided the person they want to face “Shock Around the Clock” is... TULISA!

She took the news like a champ.

Ahead of the show, Oti Mabuse defended her decision to join I’m a Celebrity one year after the birth of her daughter.

The former Strictly Come Dancing star’s baby was “very premature” and spent six weeks in a neonatal intensive care unit. Mabuse was also diagnosed with sepsis following the birth.

Of her decision to fly to Australia, Mabuse told The Mirror she would “never get another opportunity” to do the show as she wants to focus on other job opportunities and growing her family in the future.
