Some of the stars of ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' have ridiculed fellow contestant Gillian McKeith's squeamishness.

The TV nutritionist, who collapsed on Sunday night's show after learning she had been picked for another 'Bushtucker Trial', was accused of playing up to the cameras.

Dom Joly said: "I smell BAFTAs for that faint, I really do."

Shaun Ryder said: "If that was real, so are my teeth. We get 12 meals and Gillian gets an Academy Award."

Before he left the camp, actor Nigel Havers said: "The faint was just brilliant. It's just the timing was so good."

Joly replied: "Classical actors are trained for years to do that sort of fall. It was just like Miss Havisham ['Great Expectations' character] or someone going down. It was unbelievable."

There was further tension between McKeith and Ryder after she criticised his smoking.

Ryder said: "I smoke where I want, don't tell me where I can't smoke."

He later apologised for using abusive language and McKeith was told she had to eat on her own after breaking the rules and bringing salt into the camp.
