Sinitta brands Gemma Collins ‘joke’ as I’m a Celeb campmates clash

Sinitta described Gemma Collins' casting in a theatre role as a "joke" as the pair clashed during Thursday's (9 April) episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa.

The singer, 62, asked the former The Only Way Is Essex star, 45, about the musical Chicago, which Collins had been due to feature in as Matron “Mama” Morton in 2022, but had to withdraw from the production due to a “terrible injury”.

Sinitta told Collins she thought the casting was a “joke announcement."

Defending herself, Collins told Sinitta: "I auditioned for it fair and square."

When asked to explain why she thought it was a joke, Sinitta said: "I think you had just presented something, some awards, and fallen off the stage – it was like you were more of a comedian.”
