Fans of ITV's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! reckon they've spotted a potential clash brewing between two campmates, Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage.
Boxing champ Tony Bellew and joker Frankie Dettori made their first appearance on Thursday's episode, 23 November, which included a massive Bushtucker trial for the whole camp.
After tackling Locker Shocker, Jamie Lynn Spears, Sam Thompson, Danielle Harold, Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix emerged victorious and are now the 'Home' team. The five who didn't fare as well – Nigel Farage, Marvin Humes, Nick Pickard, Josie Gibson and Grace Dent – are now the 'Away' team.
The newbies had their own trial, with Frankie becoming the Home team coach after winning the challenge, while Tony took on the role of Away team coach. Fans quickly took to social media to predict a big argument between Tony and politician Nigel.
One fan wrote on X, previously known as Twitter: "Can already see a heated Tony and Nigel argument about something on the horizon and I'm all for it #ImACeleb". Another person posted: "Tony Bellew and Nigel Farage is something I need to see tbf." A third added: "Tony and Nigel in the same camp, it's gonna kick off guys.""
"Tony Bellew being in the same team as Nigel Farage is going to be box office tv He will hold him accountable and I cannot wait," another fan chimed in. A fifth viewer wrote: "As long as Nigel is on team tony bellew I'll be fine, because the boxer will certainly put Nigel in his place in the corner."
Nigel might also have a bit of a tiff with Tony following a heated Twitter exchange last year. The spat started when Nigel shared a video in November 2022, discussing ONS figures suggesting London, Birmingham and Manchester were now classed as "minority white cities". Nigel said: "There is a massive change in the identity of our country through immigration."
Bellew responded by tweeting: "Why does someone's colour matter? Who cares if your white, black, yellow or pink? All that matters is are they good or no good people! Learn to see people for who they are and not what they look like! It's cos of people like you that racism still exists! Absolute maniac you are!"
It looks like a showdown between Nigel and Tony could be on the horizon, but it wouldn't be Nigel's first feud in the jungle. So far, Nigel has faced tough questions about his popularity among Brits from restaurant critic Grace Den, and had a disagreement with TV's Fred Siriex over his Brexit campaign.
Nigel recently had a disagreement with YouTuber Nella Rose, who claimed that she heard from "the internet" that he was "anti-immigrant" and disliked by the black community, a claim Nigel strongly denied.
I'm A Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here! is broadcast every night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
