This year, the campmates of I'm A Celebrity began as the best of friends. However, even in a relatively friendly year in the jungle, the lack of food and tough trials have started to take a toll. Tempers have begun to fray on the ITV1 show, with spats between the stars about trial performances and chore division. Meanwhile, away from the jungle cameras, Tulisa Contostavlos has hinted that not all is as harmonious as it appears. These are the biggest on and off-camera rows of I'm A Celebrity 2024.

The Impact of Trials and Chores on Camp Harmony

Dean McCullough's early quit from trials left viewers and his campmates frustrated. After being voted out, he revealed that host Ant McPartlin gave him a proper telling off. McCullough also caused a scene by refusing to do his camp chores, leading to tensions with his fellow campmates. Melvin Odoom softly approached the issue, while camp leader Danny Jones ordered him to get on with it. Odoom's cheeky sense of humour helped diffuse the tension. Once McCullough was voted out, Rev Richard Coles made a catty remark, adding to the drama.

It wasn't just McCullough who had chore-related controversies. He slept through Moore heading off to collect firewood and was woken up by Alan Halsall. McCullough was initially annoyed but later explained his side. Halsall insisted that it was just a joke that was taken the wrong way.

Jane Moore was also annoyed to be voted out first despite her hard work. She was cross when leaders reassigned the washing-up tasks and felt it was sexist. After being voted out, she explained her frustration and emphasized the importance of recognizing hard work.

The Controversy of Contraband and Host Jokes

Dean McCullough was open about bringing contraband into camp and offering people cups of tea. It was revealed that Tulisa Contostavlos had also been harboring a banned store of salt. This led to disappointment among the campmates when Melvin Odoom was punished for a task related to cupcakes.

One off-camera row saw Ant and Dec spark fury among viewers with their sense of humour. During the eating trial, they made jokes about the Bible and the Christian faith, which received 70 complaints to Ofcom. They also used references to the Bible and Christian faith to narrate Rev Richard Coles' actions.

I'm A Celebrity's launch show was watched by 10.6 million consolidated viewers this year, proving popular with 16-34s. Yahoo reached out to ITV representatives for further comment.
