I'm A Celebrity tensions rise as stars argue about cleaning and chopping wood

Things are starting to get tense inside the I'm A Celebrity camp.

Now that the stars have had a whole week of rations and sleeping outdoors in chilly Wales, they're starting to get on each other's nerves.

The appointment of Jordan North as camp leader hasn't helped either.

Now that celebs have chores that only they can do, people are starting to get annoyed about those who aren't pulling their weight.

One person can't do their chore until someone else has done theirs first, and it's starting to create friction between the campmates.

On last night's show, AJ Pritchard was seen getting agitated over the camp's fire wood.

Despite the fact that everyone except the camp leader and his deputy Victoria Derbyshire are allowed to chop it, the former Strictly Come Dancing pro says he's the only one who's bothering.

AJ was seen heading out into the courtyard to pick up some chopped wood, only to find there wasn't any there.

He then told the cameras: "I woke up like a zombie this morning and I came to get the chopped wood and all the chopped wood had been used."

As Victoria asked him if he'd slept well, AJ confessed that he was exhausted from taking on a trial and the maintenance work around the camp.

Victoria suggested they should swap the jobs round today but AJ said it would help if people realised they could chop wood too.

AJ added: "I seem to be chopping all the wood because people don't realise they can actually chop wood because they're allowed to.

"So I need to chop wood now this morning, which I would have preferred to do yesterday, which I did do yesterday which then got burnt, now I need to chop more wood."

After Vernon Kay agreed to help AJ, Jordan confessed he was done with being camp leader.

He told the cameras: "I'm getting really bored of it now, I want to get doing stuff. Being camp leader, there's a million things I could do but instead I've got to sit there in that bloody chair.

"But we're managing, it's not going to break us, it's not."

Later in the day, AJ offered to help clean the mess trays before dinner while Shane Richie, whose job it should be, was off doing the trial.

And he didn't waste any time in pointing out how good a job he made of it compared to Shane.

As he got to work, AJ asked: "Who usually cleans these?"

He held one of the mess tins up to show the line of dirt across the bottom of it.

"That's me doing three scrubs," he said. "And that's the usual."

He added: "I'm just trying to work out who usually cleans it, you can get all this stuff off. Look at that, it's coming right off."

Shane wasn't happy when he returned to camp triumphantly after winning a full 12 stars in the trial only for people to point out how dirty the trays are when he washes them compared to when AJ did it.

* I'm A Celebrity airs tonight at 9pm on ITV
