Tensions were at an all-time high during the latest episode of I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Thursday night (April 9), ITV<\/a> fans saw the two camps finally reunite as Gemma Collins, <\/a>Adam Thomas, Seann Walsh, Beverley Callard left Savannah Scrub.<\/p>\n

However, as they were joined with the other celebrities, Sinitta wasted no time in letting her feelings known to Gemma.<\/p>\n

She said: “What happened with Chicago? You were supposed to follow me as Mama Morton in Chicago, it was announced and everything.”<\/p>\n

Gemma explained that she had a ‘terrible’ injury, telling Sinitta is was something to do with the insurance. However, Sinitta confessed that when it was announced Gemma was joining the cast, they thought it was a joke.<\/p>\n

Unimpressed, Gemma added: “Not a joke, Sinitta, I auditioned for it and got it fair and square. Did all the training and everything. Had the voice coach.”<\/p>\n

Sinitta continued: “I’m sorry, but I’m going to admit it, that when I heard, I thought it was a joke announcement, I was like, ‘Yeah right’.<\/p>\n

Clearly unimpressed, Gemma asked why she thought that it wouldn’t be real, as Sinitta highlighted her fall while presenting at an awards show, stating she felt more like a comedian.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, some of the other campmates watched on awkwardly as Scarlett Moffatt hid in her hammock, mouthing to Seann Walsh, ‘What is happening?’<\/p>\n

Comparing her to Zsa Zsa Gabor, Sinitta added: “Very camp, very glamorous. But I thought you were that girl. Like, you don’t really do anything, you make a great entrance, and you make everybody laugh. But, I didn’t know you could actually sing, dance and all of that, and all that jazz.”<\/p>\n

Biting back, Gemma said: “I don’t think you’d get casted as Mama Morton in Chicago if you didn’t pass the audition.”<\/p>\n

In the Bush Telegraph, Gemma explained she was taken aback by Sinitta’s comments, stating she’s not a joke.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t long before people watching took to X to share their thoughts on what happened, with many unimpressed by Sinitta’s comments.<\/p>\n

One person said: “How rude of sinitta!” Another commented: “Sinitta to go as well.”<\/p>\n

Someone else wrote: “Get Sinitta and David Haye OUT.” While one viewer added: “I think Sinitta feels a bit threatened by the possibility of loss of screen time since Gemma Collins joined main camp.”<\/p>\n

Another fan commented: “Sinitta thinking she better than Gemma.” While someone else wrote: “Sinitta calling the GC a joke?? Like really??”<\/p>\n

I’m A Celebrity…South Africa airs weekdays at 9pm on ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
