Fred Sirieix and Josie Gibson have been creating quite the stir in the I'm A Celebrity camp. The First Dates star and This Morning presenter are both fan favourites, but tensions between the two have been rising in recent episodes.
Josie has been struggling with missing her five-year-old son, and on Saturday's episode, Fred's meddling with her cooking didn't help.
Fred was previously the camp chef, but a mix-up meant Josie is now in charge. He didn't seem to get the message though as he continued to offer unwanted advice on her cooking.
"The beans Josie, did you soak them? Put it flat Tony, you've got to make sure it's flat. That's not quite flat. Josie, is the rice cooked?" he asked, with Josie answering bluntly "it's boiling up, it's still a bit hard."
In the Bush Telegraph, Josie said "me and Tony are the chefs. [Fred] is a pot wash now. He's got to give the reigns over to me." Tony Bellew predicted things would eventually explode as Josie became annoyed by Fred's constant advice.
Eventually, Fred's advice was needed when the camp was given eels for dinner. Josie noted "Fred's advice is very welcome, but it feels like him and Nigel are sitting there overstaring everything I'm doing." Fred complained to the Bush Telegraph that it "wasn't cooking," and everyone else enjoyed it, except Josie, who privately admitted "I think it tasted horrible."
Discussions about cooking and cleaning in the camp have been a source of division, with complaints about pots not being properly washed. Fred is strict when it comes to what counts as a properly clean pot, and Josie and Nella have been in trouble with the chef before for what he saw as unclean dishes.
The public vote has opened for the first time in the 2023 series, with Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent already walking out of the camp. Viewers have their popcorn ready to wait for the inevitable explosion between Fred and Josie, as the show returns to ITV on Sunday at 9pm.
