While the new All Stars series doesn’t air until next month, there seems to be a feud bubbling between the campers.
Rumours are stirring that there is already animosity between the new I’m A Celeb All Stars campmates. A source has claimed that Towie’s Gemma Collins recently hit out at one of her co-stars for allegedly leaking stories about her to the media.
Avid fans of the ITV show are set to watch stars from series past take in an extreme version of the show in South Africa. Already filmed in 2025, the new show is set to air on Monday, April 6.
While it is yet to be seen if the cast will get along during the competition, it looks like things are kicking off back on home soil. Sources have claimed that Gemma made her bold allegations in a WhatsApp group chat that contained the All Stars cast, reports the Mirror.
The feisty reality favourite is alleged to have branded fellow campmate Sinitta a “rat”. The comment is understood to have left the 80s star “dumbfounded and incredibly upset”
An insider claimed to The Sun: “A few weeks back, out of nowhere, she dropped a message into the group WhatsApp chat accusing someone of leaking stories about her to the Press. And before anyone could even tap out a reply, she accused Sinitta of being the rat.”
It is thought that the other celebs taking part in the jungle spin-off were in the chat. This includes Harry Redknapp, Sir Mo Farah, Scarlett Moffatt, Adam Thomas, David Haye, Seann Walsh, Ashley Roberts, Craig Charles, Beverley Callard, and Jimmy Bullard.
The source added: “It was like Wagatha Christie all over again. No one in the group could believe what they were reading. No one replied. Basically, it put a massive cloud over what had been a rather jolly group. Some of the celebs in the chat rallied to Sinitta because they felt it was unnecessary to make such an accusation in a group setting.”
The show, hosted by presenting duo Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, was filmed last autumn with the stars willingly having another go at gruesome bushtucker trials and tiny portions of rice and beans.
The cast of the 2026 series were also seen to reunite earlier this month for the launch show in London, making this the first time Gemma and Sinitta had seen each other since the allegations.
In what the cast expected to be a tension-filled night, it is said that Gemma was seen to make out like nothing had happened. And the remaining cast are scared that they may be accused.
It remains to be seen how well the two celebs fare in the spin-off as Sinitta was the second to be voted out in the 2011 series of the Australian show, while Gemma only lasted for three days back in 2014.
However, this isn’t the only drama to have been reported from the show, as Emmerdale star Adam Thomas was reported to have “totally lost it” during a bushtucker trial with ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard.
The reported row was said to have left Adam seeing red as he started “screaming at Jimmy”. In the end, one star was pushed to even shout the dreaded words to end the high stakes trial completely.
It was also said that producers had to step in to stop the feud between the pair. With the stars set to return for a live final episode on April 24, it has not been confirmed if Adam or Jimmy will be in attendance.
A source told The Sun: “Adam totally lost it. It was completely unexpected and deeply shocked the other campmates – including Jimmy, who didn’t see it coming. Adam is intensely competitive and was taking his jungle return very seriously. He was frustrated by what happened in the Bushtucker Trial and lost his temper.”
