I'm A Celeb's Frankie Bridge rows with Naughty Boy as tempers flare on ITV show

Tempers have started to flare in the I'm A Celebrity castle - just four days in.

Naughty Boy took issue with something that Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge said on the Virgin Media show, leading to a huge argument between the duo.

The whole incident began as the music producer felt the rice wasn't being cooked correctly in camp.

A self-described cooking aficionado, Naughty Boy felt the rice was being made to be more like rice pudding than the type of rice that one might eat with beans.

In the Telegraph, he said: "I’m quite passionate about cooking and maybe this isn’t the place to be passionate about cooking. I don’t want to be the one who says it, I’m just being real, it’s not rice."

He aired his concerns to Danny Miller, calling the food "difficult to eat".

"Rice pudding is supposed to be a sweet dish, that was difficult for me to eat. It’s not supposed to be rice pudding, it’s supposed to be rice that goes with beans," he added.

Before adding in The Telegraph: "We’re having rice and beans, people would prefer to have rice and beans, not rice pudding and beans. I don’t know if I’m going crazy or overthinking."

Back in the castle camp, Frankie was discussing the rice issue when she told the music producer: "You’re just coming into our camp and this was just what we did."

But Naughty Boy interrupted and added: "No, this is our camp. That’s wrong what you just said."

The disagreement continued as Frankie said: "How have I ended up in a discussion over something that's..."

Naughty Boy added: "It’s not your camp ... Don’t say things like you came to ‘our’ camp."

Frankie walked away from the argument, as she explained to fellow campmate Kadeena Cox: "Why can no one talk about rice in here? I can’t deal with it. I’d rather not have rice at this point. I just hate any confrontation.

"Now I’m like, ‘Oh my god, did I say something bad?’ Now I’ve offended him… why am I talking about rice. I’m someone who avoids confrontation at all costs. I just hate it. I don’t understand what the issue is.”

Later, Naughty Boy headed to the Telegraph to explain how he felt like an outsider.

"Shall we just say this is like a teething period? It just made me think, maybe we are the outsiders who have now come in," he said.
