Jo Beth Taylor says she hates Laurina Fleure on I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here!
THE verbal feud between Jo Beth Taylor and Laurina Fleure on Channel Ten’s I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here! has reached boiling point.
THE feud between Jo Beth Taylor and Laurina Fleure has reached boiling point.
As Taylor declared “I hate her’, Fleure said she won’t bother with her anymore as it’s “like talking to a brick wall”.
The pair have been at loggerheads since I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! launched a week and a half ago, simply not getting on.
But tensions have risen over the past few days with Taylor labelling the former The Bachelor reality contestant “a cow”.
“I won’t even bother contributing with Jo Beth, it’s like talking to a brick wall,” Fleure told singer and closest friend in the jungle, Havana Brown.
Tempers flared earlier this week when Fleure used the one camp mirror available to celebrities to pluck her eyebrows as Taylor demanded she may have needed it to put her contact lenses in.
Both have vented to fellow campmates.

The latest upset came over cooking duties with Taylor the designated chef and Fleure wanting to contribute to the food preparation.
“It is the energy from the people cooking the food, they crack the shits if you make a suggestion or come anywhere near the kitchen,” Fleure told Brendan Fevola and Akmal Saleh.
“It is just always really tense. Don’t make suggestions, don’t come anywhere near the kitchen, don’t touch the vegetables, don’t look in the bag, nothing. It is a very coveted experience. It is very exclusive.”
Overhearing the exchange, Taylor stuck her middle finger up behind Fleure’s back.
“I’m not listening to her cos she’s an idiot,” the 44-year-old former Funniest Home Videos host said in the Tok Tokkie diary room.
“You are getting pretty close to seeing the first bitch slap on Australian television. She doesn’t think at all. She only thinks of herself and no one else. She doesn’t care who she hurts or offends or whatever, it is all about Laurina.”
Later, Fleure attempted to address Taylor face to face.
“That’s childish, you don’t know me very well and you will probably never get to know me,” Taylor said.
“But the thing is, I am bigger than that. I don’t need this shit from you or anybody else.”
