I’m A Celeb star Frankie Dettori reveals secret 'incident' between campmates that viewers didn’t see
Last night's instalment of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! saw the first big-name star eliminated from camp following the public vote off.
It was between YouTube star Nella Rose and jockey Frankie Dettori to pack their bags and leave the jungle, when hosts Ant and Dec announced that the Italian sportsman had received the fewest votes.
During his exit interview with the Geordie duo, Frankie reflected on the highs and lows of his time on I'm A Celeb.

But fans of the gruelling ITV reality show were left confused after the award-winning horse-rider alluded to an incident that had occurred in camp between two of his co-stars, which wasn't aired on TV.
Asked about his initial experience on the show - during which the camp was divided in two, with Frankie coaching one-half and Tony Bellew coaching the other - the jockey hinted at some tension.
"Some big personalities in that camp, was it difficult?" Ant asked Frankie, to which he replied: "I met the first five of my camp, then I met the other five, it took a bit of time to get round the camp.
"Then obviously we had the incident with Grace [Dent], Jamie Lynn [Spears] as well, so that put a dampener on the week.
"We had to re-group, and we had to re-focus, we did the tasks, the rain didn't help.
"All the clothes were damp, it puts everybody in a bad mood, but in fairness everybody really pulled their weight and did their chores and we all got on really well."
MasterChef star Grace was the first to leave the show, calling it quits after just one week on 'medical grounds' after viewers became concerned for her health.
US singer and actor Jamie Lynn Spears left the show in the days that followed, also on 'medical grounds', after admitting she was struggling with the distance away from her children.
Though the 'incident' Frankie referred to may well have been about their premature departures from the show, many viewers believe that something else may have gone down between Grace and Jamie Lynn.
"Obviously there was the incident with Grace and Jamie Lynn' #ImACeleb," one fan of the show tweeted following Frankie's interview.
Another wrote: "We had the incident with Grace' - Frankie. What really happened when Grace left the jungle."
While a third added: "Frankie: ‘the incident with Grace..’ what incident? Thought she left on medical grounds?"
Following Grace's exit, a show spokesperson said in a statement: "Unfortunately Grace Dent has left the show on medical grounds.
"She has been a great campmate and will be missed by her fellow celebrities and viewers alike."
And when Zoey 101 star Jamie Lynn quit, ITV said: "Jamie Lynn Spears has left I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! on medical grounds.
"She's been a fantastic campmate who has triumphed at trials and bonded well with her fellow celebrities."
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs on ITV Sunday to Friday at 9pm and Saturday at 9.30pm.
