ITV I’m A Celebrity: Fight erupts between camp mates but viewers say there was one clear winner

I’m A Celebrity this year has been accused of being a bit boring and lacking in the juicier drama of previous seasons.

Just yesterday (December 3), a social media user commented: “No joke #ImACeleb is over, everyone winning all the trials, everyone getting on. So boring. Not the show it used to be.”

But they seem to have spoken too soon for a fight erupted in the camp during tonight’s (December 4) episode of the hit ITV show.

Things got very heated between Naughty Boy, 40, and Kaveena Cox, 30, as they clashed over rice, after having been assigned the roles of camp cooks by campsite leaders David Ginola and Danny Miller earlier this week.

Tension had already been brewing between the two of them as they got into a disagreement over how to prepare and cook oxtail a few days ago.

Speaking about their lunchtime chef duties, the music producer said: “We don’t need to cook that now if we’re not going to eat it… that’s all the rice we have for tonight.”

To which the paralympics Gold Medallist replied: “Yes because all the rice was cooked already.”

And he responded: “There’s no need to get like that!”

As they continued to disagree, she snapped: “I’m literally repeating myself a million times and I’m tired and it’s a bit annoying.”

Naughty Boy shot back: “The reason you’re having to repeat yourself is because I’m trying to understand what’s going on. You don’t need to get a***y with me, you really are. I’m speaking to you respectfully.”

He angrily added, “I’m not getting respect back,” as he walked away from the conversation.

Kadeena ended up crying shortly after but viewers were clearly on her side, with one remarking: “Naughty Boy just doesn’t listen. Ant & Dec tell him to speed up at every trail. He doesn’t listen. He didn’t listen to Kadeena, nor Adam about the rice/why she was upset. At this point, it’s coming across as ignorance #ImACeleb.”

Another echoed the “ignorant” sentiment, saying: “Kadeena has confidently opened up on her MS and has highlighted in the past that she has to rest at intervals as part of her condition. Kadeena was doing the sensible thing preparing food for later in the day and Naughty Boy was acting ignorant. #ImACeleb.”

Someone else chimed in: “Naughty boy getting too big for his boots thinking he’s master of camp making Kadeena cry with his bickering Is that how he speaks to people in real life? #ImACeleb.”

When the two had a conversation together later after calming down, fans still believed Kadeena was in the right, with one saying: “I absolutely love Kadeena standing her ground. Naughty Boy has no consideration for how exhausting hidden disability can be. Massive respect for her holding her own. She has no reason to apologise. Naughty Boy is doing my nut in.”

Although a few did back Naughty Boy, as one fan argued: “Just catching up on #ImACeleb & think I’m going against the grain, but I think Kadeena was at fault. Totally understand that she was shattered, especially with MS, but she has made herself the main chef & aggressively protected that role. Naughty Boy is annoying, but she was rude.”

Other viewers were more interested in the drama than anything else, with many writing something like: “I think we should vote for naughty boy and Kadeena to do the next trial, so they can reconcile their issues and plus it would be drama for us. #ImACeleb.”
