Tensions mounted in Sunday’s episode of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! when Jane Moore and Barry McGuigan argued over camp chores.
McGuigan and Danny Jones were voted by the public to become the new camp leaders, but quickly ruffled feathers by selecting Moore and Tulisa to wash up, and Coleen Rooney and Maura Higgins to act out duties of camp maintenance.
Despite Jones’s initial worry that women were being asked to do less physical tasks and that it could be taken negatively, McGuigan brushed it off. This proved a bad error, however, as Moore accused McGuigan of “misogyny” and later “ageism” when he used her age as a justification for his and Jones’s decisions.
Moore later said she was only joking, but both Tulisa and comedian GK Barry were left unsure...
Elsewhere in the episode, Rooney and Dean McCullough faced a gruesome Bushtucker Trial, winning nine stars for the camp.
Rooney also revealed what happened when she and husband Wayne met Donald Trump.
Follow along with our live coverage of tonight’s episode, below.
I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! continues every night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

So if you missed tonight’s episode, there was a big shake-up in the camp with Danny and Barry voted new camp leaders.
This ruffled feathers, however, when Jane was asked to wash up for the camp over the coming days, despite her apparently requesting at an earlier date that she did not want to wash up.
22:04
Adam White
Somewhat inevitably, it’s Dean who will take part in Jack and the Screamstalk.
“It’s not necessarily critter related,” Tulisa tells him.
22:03
Adam White
Finally, we’re about to find out who will take part in Jack and the Screamstalk per votes from the public.
22:01
Adam White
So while Jane says she was winding Barry up, she doesn’t seem to be all that happy about doing the washing up.
“Seems much like the 1950s!” she complains.
Tulisa and GK both believe tensions are due to rise within days...
22:01
Adam White
So Danny and Barry are looking quite depleted after the arguments over assigned chores.
Barry says he didn’t mean to upset Jane, but Jane is saying now that she was only “winding him up” when she complained about being asked to do the washing up.
21:59
Adam White
Anyway, dinner has arrived! The nine stars won by Coleen and Dean has translated to... um... possum?
21:57
Adam White
To keep you up to date: Barry and Danny’s dispensing of camp chores went quite badly quite quickly. Jane accused Barry of “misogyny” and “ageism” after she and Tulisa were assigned washing up duties.
21:54
Adam White
To recap...
Washing up goes to Jane and Tulisa
Water duty to Melvin and Dean
Camp maintenance to Coleen and Maura
Cooking to Oti and Richard
Wood collection to GK and Alan
“Slight rumble in the jungle,” Tulisa says, as Jane protests being given “the one job I don’t want”.
21:52
Adam White
Well this is already going down like a cup of cold sick...
Jane and Tulisa are asked to cover “washing up”
“Is that because we’re women?” Jane shoots back
21:51
Adam White
Within minutes Barry and Danny are tasked with assigning new chores to the campmates.
“Have you gone a bit male-heavy on the strenuous jobs?” Danny asks.
“That’s a fair comment, but I don’t think they’d thank us,” Barry replies.
Hmm...
21:49
Adam White
Back in camp, Melvin has been tasked to announce that the public have voted for two new camp leaders
The new leaders are Barry and Danny!
21:47
Adam White
That was certainly 10 minutes of television
21:47
Adam White
“Which of the following dances did not originate from South America? Samba, Tango, or Cha Cha Cha?”
The campmates get it right!
The reward?
BOILED SWEETS FOR ALL
Great stuff.
21:45
Adam White
Phew, boring. But GK and Oti have won the “dingo dollars” and taken them to an ice cream van, where “Kiosk Kev” rings up the main camp to ask a trivia question...
Can the campmates get the answer right?
21:44
Adam White
This is... not the most entertaining of tasks. Spice Girls, AC/DC, Missy Elliott and Rihanna providing soundtrack cues, however, so not a total loss.
21:41
Adam White
Back from the break, we’ve joined GK and Oti as they take on a deals-on-wheels challenge.
They need to match the right car and its number plate with the right shop front. However, the driver is blindfolded, meaning their partner has to provide directions.
21:36
Adam White
In the camp, Maura is explaining to Danny and Jane how she got “revenge” on her ex -- a scheme that involved a toothbrush, a dash of infidelity, and a Love Island application...
21:31
Adam White
Ant and Dec teasing “Jack and the Screamstalk”, the next challenge.
It involves campmates climbing up a giant “beanstalk” and stuffing their hands into mysterious boxes of spiders and gunk in order to grab stars.
We’ll find out later which celebs have been voted to take it on. Richard and Tulisa, however, are exempt for “medical reasons”. Fear of heights potentially?
21:27
Adam White
And time is up! Coleen has nine stars and probably needs an emergency disinfection.
Dean feels guilty.
21:26
Adam White
Dean is just unreasonably slow. He seems to have stopped moving.
21:25
Adam White
By this point Coleen seems to be more bug swamp than woman, but she is persevering!
Eight stars!
21:25
Adam White
“Sorry guys, sorry guys,” Dean yells. Coleen’s trying to get her seventh star. Dean is still struggling to sift through gunk.
21:24
Adam White
“Keep calm, keep calm,” Coleen shouts to Dean while she’s the one covered in cockroaches and maggots.
Yes, Dean seems to be being spurted with some kind of black slop. And then some kind of innard stew? But for the love of god, please stop screaming Dean!
He seems to have forgotten he’s meant to pick up some tools. Even Ant seems exasperated.
21:23
Adam White
Coleen has five stars. She needs more tools, but Dean taking an age. For the love of god, Dean, move your arse and dig through the slime!
21:22
Adam White
Coleen has four stars! Time is running out. Dean manages to grab another tool, which he passes to Coleen. Can she get a fifth star?
21:22
Adam White
Coleen now has three stars. But Dean is not handling cockroaches well. He’s gasping, screaming, and very eager not to handle anything icky. Meanwhile, Coleen is drowning in a sea of the worst things you can imagine.
21:21
Adam White
Dean, you’re sweet. But you’ve got to rifle through these fish guts with a bit more speed.
21:20
Adam White
“You’re not alone in there, Coleen,” Ant says, as she is swaddled in rats, beetles, cockroaches and maggots. How is your Sunday night going?Dean, meanwhile, manages to sift through a box of meat and gets hold of a tool. She gets one star. But Dean seems to be taking quite a damn while.
21:15
Adam White
And we cut to the ads just as Coleen gets swarmed with cockroaches.
21:14
Adam White
In the meantime, the other celebrity is locked in a car being drowned in bugs. Lovely!
Coleen is selected to be in the bug car, and Dean is tasked with digging through gunk.
Dean’s struggle with the bug task a few days ago inspired that choice...
21:12
Adam White
The challenge has begun! “Absolute Carnage” involves one celebrity having to dig through assorted meats and gross stuff in order to find tools to unfasten the bolts attaching stars to a wall.
21:11
Adam White
Read a bit more on that wacky interaction here...
21:10
Adam White
Coleen here discussing meeting Donald Trump with Wayne and their son.
“We walked in and we got to get the official photograph taken in front of the Christmas tree,” she tells her campmates. “So Donald Trump said to my son ‘see? Told ya, all the soccer players get the good looking girls’.”
“I told my mum, I was like ‘dirty bastard’.”
21:08
Adam White
Oti has donated Richard her bed for the night, after he expressed discomfort about sleeping on a hammock. Nice lady!
21:06
Adam White
Ant and Dec: “At home, Reverend Richard Coles plays the organ. In the jungle, he eats a pig’s organ. At home, he stands on a lecturn. In the jungle, he munches on a rectum.”Comedy!
21:00
Adam White
Hey there! This is Adam logging in for I’m a Celebrity duties tonight, bringing you all the latest from the camp. It’s Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles’s first morning in the jungle, plus a presumably chaotic challenge for Coleen Rooney to face, so let’s get the show on the road...

Ant McPartlin has claimed that in all his 12 years of hosting, he’d never smelt anything quite so bad as the dish that turned up in a Bushtucker Trial last night.

Dean McCullough and Alan Halsall have tense exchange
17:45
Ellie Muir
In last night’s episode, McCullough decided to take a nap just as Loose Women star Jane Moore said she needed help with the chores.
Coronation Street star Halsall then decided he would wake McCullough to get him to help Moore collect firewood.
Unfortunately, McCullough was unimpressed at being disturbed, even as Halsell asked: “You don’t fancy it? No?”
Halsall then went to help Moore before McCullough got up and told the soap star he could return to the main camp.
“I was trying to wake you up as soft as I could,” Halsall explained.
McCullough responded: “Listen to me. If you’re gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright? It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright, so you don’t need to turn around to me and say ‘do you not fancy it?’ ok? And then turn around and walk away.”
Halsell explained: “I’ve listened to you, Jane was halfway down here, that’s why I went…”
“Ok I get that but you need to give me a minute mate,” McCullough interjected.
