EMILY Atack threatened to "take a s**t" in Noel Edmonds' luxury tent after he shattered the harmony on I'm A Celeb - by accusing John Barrowman of scratching his groin.
Noel's comments sparked an enormous rant from the Torchwood star, setting up the camp's first big feud of the series.
Noel called John a "queen" before he'd even stepped foot in camp and later dished out jobs for his 'subjects' when the actor asked a question.
"Could you please not scratch your groin while talking to me?" 69-year-old Noel told him.
John, 51, erupted: "I was scratching my waist! I'm not touching my groin." But the real fireworks came later.
John raged to his camp mates: "I'm having a bit of a rough time so when you scratch yourself or try to fix your pants and someone tells you you're grabbing your crotch... I wasn't f***ing grabbing my crotch.
"Don't tell me that. I know he was trying to make a joke and be funny but it just didn't land well with me."
In a later clip shown on Extra camp, Noel holds up his bags expectantly, saying: "Can anyone see anything wrong with this scenario?"
As John and Emily dutifully rush to take his belongings to his tent, the actress cheekily jokes: "Shall we just take a s*** on the carpet?"
Scott told Extra Camp host Scarlett Moffatt: "Noel's a big character, so there is the possibility they're gonna clash which makes for great telly! Sit back and see what happens."
John later added: "I'm probably being oversensitive. It's the exact time my husband Scott would say to me: 'You need a sandwich.' It's not his fault. I'm an adult and I knew that."
However, Scott Gill, the star's architect husband, later insisted they were likely to clash - no matter how many sandwiches are thrown John's way.
