The Most Memorable “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” Feuds

Why I’m A Celebrity Feuds Become So Intense

The 26th series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! is officially under way, bringing back one of the programme’s most reliable features: tension in the Australian jungle. Although the ITV reality show has changed considerably over more than two decades, celebrities still face the same pressure of limited food, difficult living conditions and close contact with insects and other creatures.

Those circumstances have produced some of the most memorable arguments in I’m A Celebrity history. As the 2026 series begins, these are several of the show’s most infamous campmate clashes.

Janice Dickinson and Lynne Franks: 2007

Model Janice Dickinson and writer Lynne Franks were two forceful personalities whose relationship deteriorated during the 2007 series. During one confrontation, Lynne said to Janice, in tears: “You’re one of the most horrible people I’ve ever encountered.”

Janice responded in similarly dramatic fashion, calling Lynne a ‘witch’ and threatening to stab her, fry up her ‘big old boobs’ and serve them to the other campmates.

Kim Woodburn and Katie Price: 2009

The clash between television personality Kim Woodburn and glamour model Katie Price remains one of the best-known disputes among I’m A Celebrity viewers. Kim, who was also recognised for her fiery personality on Celebrity Big Brother, quickly made her opinion of Katie clear when Katie asked the camp what it thought of her.

Kim told her: “You live and die for publicity and you do it well. As Shakespeare once said, ‘We fear you protesteth too much’.”

She continued: “You know full well you’ve got 10 to 12 million people watching every night and you know, madam, you’ll be all over the papers every day. Now stop it. Stop your nonsense.”

Kim also said that, ‘for some reason’, the British public ‘love’ Katie and suggested that if she had ‘her looks, she’d do it’. By ‘do it’, Kim meant posing in a bikini for newspaper coverage.

Edwina Currie and Kendra Wilkinson: 2014

Former politician Edwina Currie and television personality Kendra Wilkinson repeatedly clashed during the 2014 series. Their disagreements did not result in one major confrontation, but tensions appeared to build throughout their time in camp.

After her eviction, former Playboy bunny Kendra criticised Edwina, saying: “My God. I have no sympathy towards her.”

Kendra added: “She’s a coward because she can’t say that to my face. She might want to grow a heart and learn how to learn about others. I don’t come from luxury like her.”

She continued: “I mean she’s gross, she’s a gross person. To be honest with you, I won’t even be able to look at Edwina again.”

Edwina later responded by saying that Kendra ‘isn’t even a proper celebrity’.

Lady Colin Campbell and Tony Hadley: 2015

One of the most memorable I’m A Celebrity disputes began when Lady Colin Campbell, widely known as Lady C and a prominent Royal Family enthusiast, threw a beetle into the campfire. Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley objected to what had happened to the ‘beautiful beetle’.

Lady C replied: “I don’t need any input from you… You are a hypocritical pretentious ar**hole. I’ve had enough of you. It’s none of your f**king business, a***hole.”

She went on: “You’re a chippy oik with a mouth of diarrhoea. My opinion of you is that you are the lowest of the low, a bore. Let me tell you something, boy, you are of no significance to me. You’re so used to creeps and dollybirds, tarts.”

Lady C concluded: “You don’t even have a good voice.”

Andrew Maxwell and Ian Wright: 2019

Irish comedian Andrew Maxwell and former footballer Ian Wright became involved in a dispute while the camp was preparing dinner. The argument also became part of a wider sexism row, with Andrew accusing Ian of ‘singling him out’.

Andrew said: “You keep shouting at me, Ian,” prompting Ian to respond: “Who is shouting, when did I shout? I wasn’t even talking to you, what did I say?”

The disagreement eventually ended with the pair hugging, an unusual resolution for an I’m A Celebrity feud. Andrew said: “I’m sorry, I’m really tired, I don’t know, I’m really tired… I’m not going to cry, I’m sorry.”

Nella Rose and Nigel Farage: 2023

Reform UK founder and leader Nigel Farage was involved in several disagreements during the 2023 series, but his debate about immigration with YouTuber Nella Rose became one of the season’s most heated exchanges.

Nella told Nigel that she had read online that he was ‘anti-immigrants’ and asked why Black people did not like him. Nigel replied: “You’d be amazed, they do.”

Nella then asked: “So everyone hates you for no reason?” Nigel responded: “You can disagree with somebody, but to chuck around accusations the way they’ve been chucked around is grossly unfair. Anti-immigrant, right? No, no, all I’ve said is we cannot go on with the numbers coming to Britain that are coming.”

Nella continued to question what the ‘problem’ with immigration was and pointed out that, having moved to the UK as a child, she was ‘one of those numbers’. When Nigel argued that the number of people entering the UK was affecting access to GP appointments, Nella replied: “I’m stopping you getting a GP appointment? You’re not getting an appointment because the NHS is lacking funding.”

She added: “I bet you anything if every single immigrant or from immigrant descent was to leave the UK, all your doctors gone, most of your doctors are Asian right? Most of your nurses are African women, right?”

Nella concluded: “You want us gone, that’s all I understood.”

Why This Matters

The recurring arguments on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! show how the programme’s format places public figures from very different backgrounds in an unusually restrictive environment. Food shortages, fatigue, group responsibilities and constant filming can turn disagreements over personalities, behaviour and politics into major television moments.

The disputes also demonstrate the range of subjects that have triggered conflict on the show, from camp etiquette and publicity to celebrity status, personal criticism, sexism and immigration. With the 2026 series now under way, the Australian jungle remains a setting where tensions can quickly become central to the programme.
