I’m A Celeb feud: ‘She’s the most unintelligent person in the entire world’

IT’S boxer Danny Green vs. several of the female I’m A Celeb contestants, with anger spilling over as the reality show enters its final days.

Tensions rise on I'm A Celeb

TENSIONS are mounting among the remaining contestants on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, with an increasingly bitter feud taking place between the show’s male and female campmates.

Most of the animosity at camp is between boxing champ Danny Green and model Simone Holtznagel and Real Housewife Jackie Gillies, with the two women privately fuming at what they see as Green’s abrupt, aggressive manner.

Last night’s episode saw Green flat-out ignoring Gillies at camp when she tried to engage him in conversation, behaviour that infuriated Holtznagel, who labelled him a “dick.”

In an exclusive news.com.au preview of tonight’s episode, Holtznagel says she’d have preferred for Green to have been the latest contestant voted out, rather than retired AFL player Josh Gibson.

Another scene from tonight’s episode shows Green, reclining with actor Peter Rowsthorn under the waterfall near camp and sounding off about some of their fellow contestants.

“Every time I come here, I feel like I’m alive. And then you go back into camp ... and you’ve got to hear it,” says Green.

“You’ve got to listen to it! It goes on, and on, and on ... shut up!” says Rowsthorn.

Walking back to camp after their swim — and past Gillies, who’s shown talking to herself while doing the washing up — Green says pointedly in her direction: “Since I’ve been in Africa, I reckon I’ve met the most unintelligent person in the entire world.”

It’s no wonder tempers are fraying among the seven remaining contestants, with the majority of them having spent the past 38 days together in the South African jungle. But they won’t be together much longer — every I’m A Celeb episode from now until next week’s season finale will see a celebrity eliminated.

After being eliminated from the show yesterday, Gibson picked either of comedians Rowsthorn and Fiona O’Loughlin to win the series.

“It would be great for both of them,” he said. “Fiona has been through so much and she has been really open about it. She is so funny. And Pete is the cornerstone of camp. I would love one of them to win.”

I’m A Celeb airs 7:30pm Sundays — Thursdays on Ten.
