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.

Maura Higgins describes ‘revenge’ on ex-boyfriend before 'Love Island'

Maura Higgins has opened up about an incident with a former boyfriend that prompted her to go on Love Island.

During a segment on Sunday’s (24 November) episode, Higgins told fellow campmates Jane Moore, the Loose Women panellist, and McFly singer Danny Jones, about taking revenge on her former partner.

Speaking about the build-up to her participation on Love Island, she recalled: “So I had a boyfriend at the time.”

While she was initially unsure whether to agree to go on the hit dating series, she one day decided to look through her boyfriend’s phone – only to learn of her partner’s indiscretions.

‘I’m a Celebrity' fans dumbstruck by GK Barry and Richard Coles’s risqué chat

I’m a Celebrity fans were left shocked by a risqué chat between content creator GK Barry and Reverend Richard Coles on Monday night’s show (25 November).

After a heart-to-heart about Coles’s experience of being a gay vicar, Barry – who earlier in the series opened up about her sexuality and coming out – talked about how she used to be religious. She recalled going to a religious camp when she was younger, where there were men telling her not to have sex before she was married.

She said that even at 13, she thought: “Well, that’s not gonna happen. I see my future and it involves scissoring.”

Coles, 62, then asked Barry, 25, what scissoring is. She chose not to explain it to him in detail, but did tell him it was something that lesbians do. He then started making jokes about the “sizzling scissoring sisterhood”, and the pair collapsed into giggles.

Viewers were taken aback, to say the least. “Talking about scissoring with a reverend. I’m a Celeb is not real,” wrote one fan on X/Twitter

Jane Moore accuses Barry McGuigan of ageism and misogyny

The latest series of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has undergone another shake-up as a public vote shifted control of the camp to contestants Danny Jones and Barry McGuigan.
