I'm A Celeb: Fans Jump To Naughty Boy's Defence After Explosive Fight Scene

The tension is high with the campmates in I'm A Celebrity this year, as music producer Naughty Boy had a bust up with Saturdays singer Frankie Bridge over rice - leaving Frankie in tears,

The camp had been split into two sections: The Clink and The Castle, with those in The Clink having to act as servants for those in The Castle. When they the two sides were united earlier this week, conflict came up as Frankie and Naughty Boy were at the centre of what has been termed "ricegate".

Watch Ricegate reach its peak below:

As the clip shows, Naughty Boy spoke to Danny Miller about how the food shouldn't be like "rice pudding".

Frankie then said to Naughty Boy: "You’re just coming into our camp and this was just what we did…"

But Naughty Boy took issue with her phrasing and interrupted: "No, this is our camp. That’s wrong what you just said….It’s not your camp."

Frankie Bridge got very upset after what Naughty Boy said, leading to tears from the singer.

She said: "I’d rather not have rice at this point. I just hate any confrontation. Now I’m like, ‘Oh my God, did I say something bad?'"

She continued: "Now I’ve offended him … why am I talking about rice. I’m someone who avoids confrontation at all costs. I just hate it. I don’t understand what the issue is."

While some viewers were heartbroken to see Frankie so upset, others wished to defend Naughty Boy.

One person took to Twitter and shared: "Frankie was in the wrong. That ‘rice’ was well overcooked and NaughtyBoy had the guts to say it #ImACeleb".

Another viewer reasoned: "Not a fan of Naughty Boy. But he is right (especially if it’s all you eat) the rice is awful. 'Our camp'. and no need to cry over rice. #ImACeleb".

"I’m not a Naughty Boy fan but I’m with him on the Frankie rice talk. She was in the wrong and meant exactly what she said with it being their camp. #ImACeleb", tweeted someone else.

Another Twitter user agreed: "Love him or hate him, Naughty Boy's, right, though, it is all of their camp, tbf... AND, that rice looked sh**e 'n all 🤷‍♂️ #ImACeleb".

Let's hope the celebrities get some better food coming their way and Frankie and Naughty Boy make peace.
