Jungle newcomer in row over beds

Van Day - Not happy with the jungle camp
Van Day - Not happy with the jungle camp

'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here' newcomer David Van Day has caused sparks to fly in the jungle camp after he voiced his objections to his sleeping arrangements.

The contestants were told yesterday that two people would have to sleep in a cave because there are only ten beds in camp.

Timmy Mallett, who was also a latecomer to the show, volunteered to sleep in the cave because he did not already have a bed at camp but David refused to join him in the cave.

The other celebrities were reluctant to give up their beds. Nicola McLean said: "Everyone knows where it's going."

"Everyone feels that it's David (who) should have offered or at least offered an explanation as to why he doesn't feel like he should go into the cave because as last people in, you two don't have beds."

Dani Behr said: "We've paid our dues to a point where I feel, if we have our beds, it's up to me whether I should volunteer my bed to somebody else."

"I wouldn't come in and after a week nearly of people suffering and say right get out of that bed, I'm taking that now because I don't want to go there."

But Van Day said: "It seems to me that because you feel you were here first, you have some kind of freehold to your beds. In my head that's not the case. That isn't the situation."

When Robert Kilroy-Silk tried to add David to the toilet-cleaning rota, the newcomer replied: "No, I'm the guest."

Yesterday during the live Bushtucker Trial Robert completed the challenge and won all available stars for his camp.
