I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! viewers were not impressed with Boy George's comments towards Charlene White during Tuesday evening's episode, with some even calling for him to leave.
Tensions began to rise in the jungle during Tuesday's episode, as the camp started preparing a meal of kangaroo sausages and ladies' fingers.
Loose Women star Charlene was helping delegate tasks to the celebs, with other campmates asking her how best to cut and cook the food.

"Slice them small and stir fry them with the spring onions," she said.
But it seems Boy George wasn't massively impressed with Charlene taking charge.
In the Bush Telegraph, George says: "It's so weird, that bag comes down and Charlene just turns into an entirely different person.
"It's amazing, she issues orders and tells everyone what to do. I'm like, 'Wow'. You know, it's like, 'Who are you?'
"Charlene she just issues orders. For me as an observer of my own feelings, it's mind blowing."
After the celebs have eaten and washed up, Scarlette Douglas walks into camp and says to George: "Didn't fancy helping BG?"
To which Boy George replies: "I just feel like Charlene's very controlling. She tells you what to do and it really rubs you up the wrong way.
"I'm struggling with that, but I'll get over it. It's fine, she's very sweet as well so it's a real contradiction.
"There's this controlling side and then there's this caring side and it confuses me."
Boy George then confronted Charlene the following morning, explaining: "It might be good to say to people, 'right you do this today'. Otherwise, I’m going to feel like I’m not doing anything.
"I want to win stars, that’s my main thing, I’m going to do everything I can to get stars. I want to contribute.
"You’re very strong. Listen, you’re such a beautiful contradiction because you’re like tough, and then you’ve got this beautiful side to you. But it’s challenging for me. I have to say it’s challenging for me."
In the Bush Telegraph later, Charlene says: "We are the democracy of the jungle. There is no like leader, we haven’t told everybody what their roles are, we’ve just not done that, kind of fallen into roles."
But viewers at home weren't too happy with Boy George's comments, with one person writing: "When can we vote people out? George needs to disappear with his complaining self."
While another added: "Let me in that jungle i need a word with this boy george."
And a third said: "Boy George you need to leave Charlene ALONE."
Meanwhile a fourth tweeted: "Why is Boy George trying SO hard to have an issue with harmless Charlene??"
And a fifth said: "Leave Charlene alone Boy George don’t make me choose you for next trial."
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here continues tomorrow at 9:00pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
