NOEL Edmonds called Nick Knowles an "a***" on tonight's show as tensions rise in camp.

The 69-year-old and the DIY SOS host have started to butt heads over camp rules and chores in the last few days.

In tonight's show, Noel was seen getting up early and practising his morning meditation before collecting some wood to keep the camp fire burning.

But once Nick, 56, was up, he asked Noel who he went with to get the logs.

“I didn’t,” Noel replied.

Nick insisted: “Noel you are not allowed to leave camp without someone, that’s one of the things that will lose us the task."

“Well maybe I didn’t leave camp na na na na na,” teased Noel.

An exasperated Nick said: “I keep telling him he’s not to leave camp on his own and he keeps leaving camp on his own."

As Noel picked up more wood from the Bush Telegraph, he said: “There’s Nick getting his knickers in a twist because he thinks I left the camp. He can be such an a*** at times.”

Arriving back at camp with the wood Noel called out to Nick: “Coooeeeee, I left the camp again.”

There was also friction among the camp mates when it came to their lunch, which was being cooked by John Barrowman.

Rita Simons heard that John had put on just four portions of rice and said in the Bush Telegraph: “That’s not enough for 11 of us. Everyone’s too scared to speak up about it so I do in a jokey passive aggressive way."

Back in camp she asked the other camp mates: “Hands up who wants more rice because I do, put your hands up if you want more, it’s too much to squirrel away, and it’s ridiculous.”

Nick Knowles and Noel Edmonds clash over chores on I'm A Celebrity

Taken aback, John, 51, said in the Bush Telegraph: “That came out of nowhere, all of a sudden people wanted more rice which is fine but it was the way it was approached like it was the blame of the cooks who were doing it.”

Sair Khan asked how many portions John was now going to cook and he replied: “I’m just going to do all of them, everyone wants all the rice so I’m going to do it all.”

Rita, 41, contested saying she didn’t say she wanted all the rice and that her personal view was four isn’t enough for all eleven of them.

She said: “I’m not by any means saying let’s cook all the rice all I’m saying it needs to be more than four between us.”

Confiding to Emily Atack that she just had to say something, Rita said: “Even if I looked like a tw** I had to say something.”

 Rita said she had to speak up even if she sounded like a "t***"

In the Bush Telegraph she continued: “God forbid we have some food to eat or if anyone is going to cook anything but it’s only one person that’s doing that and I can handle them.”

Nick advised John “Remember the girls are going to be a bit jumpier because of what time of the month they told us it is. We’re going to have that for a couple of days with the girls.”

John nodded and later said in the Bush Telegraph: “Tensions are a little high today that’s why I am just doing this” and acted out zipping his mouth.
