The jungle camp on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has been plunged into a full-blown civil war, with contestant Angry Ginge at the centre of the storm. The 23-year-old's fury reached boiling point over a seemingly trivial issue that has split the celebrities into factions.
The Cup Controversy That Sparked a Feud
The conflict began during Monday's episode (1 December), when Ginge became incensed by his fellow campmates' habit of using cups to eat their meals. He argued that this created double the amount of washing up compared to using the designated meal containers.
His complaints sparked a heated exchange with Kelly Brook and Vogue Williams. Vogue defended the camp's right to eat from clean containers, while Kelly countered by highlighting the unhygienic risk of leaving dirty pots and tins out. The disagreement festered overnight, setting the stage for a fresh confrontation.
Ginge's Ultimatum and Camp Revolt
By Tuesday (2 December), the situation had escalated. Waking to find campmates still using containers for breakfast, Ginge moaned, "The tins please," only for Kelly to retort, "Too late!" A visibly raging Ginge then stormed off to the Bush Telegraph, vowing, "I'm not having it anymore" and promising to "take a stand".
He later addressed the entire group, issuing a stark ultimatum. "I think I have been very polite when I have asked [people] not to use mugs and I think my reasoning is more than fair," he stated. "What I will say is if I see one more person eating out of a cup, I will refuse to wash up. Thank you."
A Compromise and a Dramatic Exit
Fellow camper Aitch attempted to broker peace, suggesting a compromise where cups could be used but must be reused twice, with the larger trays saved for dinner. The camp held a vote and agreed to the new system, with Ginge reluctantly accepting, saying, "I'm happy with that."
Shortly after the tense resolution, hosts Ant and Dec revealed that Vogue Williams had been voted off the show, adding another layer of drama to the explosive episode.
Viewers React to the Jungle Meltdown
The ongoing saga has ignited strong reactions from viewers at home. Many have taken to social media to criticise Ginge's stance. One frustrated fan commented, "He needs to get a grip and just wash up and stop whining."
Another viewer, referencing Aitch's involvement in the initial arguments, added, "Hope Aitch and Ginge go soon, can’t stand the self entitled p*****." The washing-up war has undoubtedly become the defining conflict of this series, testing camp morale and viewer patience in equal measure.
