The whole point of putting a bunch of “celebrities” in the jungle and half-starving them is surely conflict.
It’s a strategy that finally paid off for the producers of I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! on Sunday as ex-Australian Idol star Anthony Callea and DJ Havana Brown came to verbal blows over Callea’s treatment of Bachelorette Laurina Fleure on the set of the Channel 10 show.
Here’s what happened (just in case you want to know…)
The whole thing went down as the group were discussing when they thought people might get sick of each other and start squabbling.
So… How about now?
Brown mused that she thought Callea was more likely to offend than others.
“Anthony is the rudest bastard in here to Laurina.”
On the latest episode of The Binge Rosie and SJ talk to a former I’m A Celebrity contestant who tells them what it was really like…..

While Callea looked on in shock, she continued: “There is just a tone that you can have that is a bit rude. You can be any tone you want to be. If that’s what you want to be, that’s fine.”
He wasn’t having it.
“I’m not just going to sit here and take that I’m the rudest person in here. I suppose you don’t understand respect too, Havana but that is okay.”
Speaking to the camera about it, she said she’d noticed Callea’s negative attitude towards Fleure.
“Any time [Fleure] says something, I feel like [Callea] has a negative reaction to it,” Brown said.
“I know they’re not going to be best friends and that is okay but she is trying her best to be nice.”
The feud heightened tensions among celebrities in the camp, with Jo Beth Taylor taking Callea’s side.
“I think she is worse than Laurina personally,” Taylor said of Brown.
“She swans around thinking that she’s all this. She is an idiot. She has no brains. She’s so vain. You’ve just got to let it go. She doesn’t know what she’s talking about.”
But Brown redeemed herself later in the episode after completing a secret challenge with Dean Geyer to make a song out of sounds recorded at the campsite.
The pair won their campmates a proper meal, which is the real currency in this jungle camp.
Ironwoman Courtney Hancock became the first celebrity voted out of the jungle, and managed to escape without having to do any of the show’s infamous food challenges.
Hancock said she’d been awed by some of the people in the jungle with her.
“My emotions are going everywhere right now,” she said.
“There’s some great people in there. I feel so stoked. When I came first on the show I was so in awe.”
With a serious fear of snakes, it’s lucky for Hancock that she didn’t end up trapped in a pit with them, a challenge Fleure aced last week.
Hancock nominated Paul Harragon to face the next challenge: being covered in food and left in an enclosure stocked with five large (and presumably hungry) ostriches.

As an older lady, I must say that I am very surprised and disappointed at the catty behaviour of Jo Beth towards Laurina and also Havana. It really is NOT entertaining to see this side of Jo Beth. To say "I fucking hate her" about Laurina and encouraged by Val laughing, is beyond my comprehension! Plus all the other nasty comments from Jo Beth and rude fingering Laurina behind her back, the sooner this immature viper is voted off the better!!! Laurina, you have my vote every week darling. Stay strong and connected to your inner source.
Jo-beth and Bonnie backstabbing of Laurina Fleur last night is just sooo typical 'Woman bullying Woman' behaviour. So typical of females beating up more attractive or younger women behaviour. Jealously that's all it is. Laurina borrowed the mirror for goodness sake, what's so wrong with that? It doesn't make her anything (certainly not the horrible names you labelled her) accept that she cares about her appearance, hmm.... because that's her profession and the entertainment industry reality?? ... Derrrr?!!... Of all people, JoBeth and Bonnie should know all this too well having grew up in the industry where people judge others for having a hair out of place. Just because JoBeth and Bonnie reckons they're so above it now (because there's very little either can do now to improve their aging, tired and has beens in the 'looks department', they can only resort to competing by cutting their younger competition down instead? Laurina is on the show for a purpose, and you JoBeth and Bonnie, who have so lost your looks, are fully aware of these reasons!
Yes she's probably selfish as any young women or men are, while competing to get ahead. We were all at our prime once, it all fades and we all learn as we get older don't we. C'on as if JoBeth and Bonnie didn't in their time, as if they'd could get the jobs they got by looking as they do now??!! Any educated 1st world person with reasonable education, especially "so talented" women like Jo-beth & Bonnie, you should have 'figured out' "LEARNT" by now free market 'selfishness' individualism makes our 1st world go round!!
WHEN WILL WOMEN LEARN A KEY REASON WOMEN LAG BEHIND MEN IN ALL PARTS OF PROFESSIONAL LIFE IS BECAUSE MEN BUILD EACH OTHER UP, WHILE WOMEN COMPETE BY STAB, BITCH AND PUT OTHER WOMEN DOWN.
Get over yourselves Jo-beth and Bonnie, society gave you plenty of opportunities and wealth. You've had your time, deal with that fact!!! You should be helping to build up, elevate and inspire other women now, whatever their aspirations. Remember your aspirations weren't exactly 'Noble or great' sorry, some circles may consider you merely 'the entertainment??!' ... but society, we supported you nevertheless, yeah?
And even a 'non-accomplished' like myself is not ignorant to the likelihood that you two got your young gigs through some questionable means, which are common tactics in your industries, and certainly you didn't look like you did on TV without the very same vanity which Laurina displays, and any young women growing up in any societies focused on looks actually. In case you've chosen to be ignorant to this also, in your wasted years and opportunities the world has given you, there are multi-billion industries built around Women's vanity, the same industries that hired you too - before we, the public, saw your true bad characters.
Start paying back and forward to younger women, or not shit on their aspirations at least to make yourselves feel better. STOP your typical 'Woman on Woman' bullying bitchy behaviours, we want to change this old terrible culture now.
Do not mistaken that society lacks talent, which I know you two obviously feel that you're up there with! There are so much talent everywhere, all they lack is opportunity - the opportunities you got, you ignorant fools, which now appears were wasted on you.
Women like you, JoBeth and Bonnie, who have been given so much by society and blessed you got the opportunities, yet gives nothing 'noble' back to others or build the next generation, do not deserve to be considered 'Celebrities'. You two are no role models for anything good. In fact, you two are exactly the representative picture of low-class jealousy, old and bitter, has-beens women bullies trying to make a comeback by competing through 'putting down other younger women tactics', who you clearly can no longer compete with in looks and aspirations.
Get new aspirations and goals in life, Jo-beth and Bonnie. And possibly some good education, which you clearly need, to curb your obvious ignorance and under-class undercurrents (which doesn't fool all of us by the way, as can be seen from the show's Facebook comments)! Best wishes to your deceased front of camera entertainment careers.
