Things were heating up as I’m A Celebrity entered its third and final week with Sunday’s jam-packed episode.

Some burnt rice led to a war of words before a dramatic contraband scandal left one contestant with a huge decision.

The episode opened with Shona and Lisa’s first morning as camp leader and deputy and they both woke up well rested from a great night’s sleep in the comfort of the treehouse.

Eddie was in charge of the rice that morning, having been appointed cooking duty by Shona and Lisa the night before.

He admitted to Tom about the new responsibility, he was ‘nervous, because I live by myself. When you’re cooking for you, there’s no one to judge.’

Eddie headed down to take a shower, with the rice cooking away on the fire. He told the Bush Telegraph: ‘Breakfast is going well, the rice is nearly done. Myself and Ruby have got this under control.’

Later in yet more tension, Shona entered camp with a laminate, as she guiltily told her fellow campmates: ‘please don’t hate me…’ amid a contraband scandal

However, it appeared the camp had other ideas on Eddie’s cooking ability as Kelly could smell burning…

Kelly told the Bush Telegraph: ‘He made the colossal error of putting the rice on and going for a shower. I watched him do it, I didn’t wanna say anything because I can’t get involved, I have a feeling this morning it’s gonna be a little bit crispy!’

And it appeared Ruby also had something to say about Vogue tending to the fire as she whispered to Ginge: ‘she just destroyed it, she doesn’t know what she’s doing.’

As Vogue quipped back: ‘Are you two b****hing about me?’ As they giggled and Ginge whispered back to Ruby ‘absolutely clueless.’

As the burnt rice was served for breakfast, everyone was less than impressed.

Jack joked: ‘It’s Eddie’s first race, so he’s warming up to it.’

Later in yet more tension, Shona entered camp with a laminate, as she guiltily told her fellow campmates: ‘please don’t hate me…’

The laminate informed the celebrities contraband had been found in camp, in the form of butter.

With Shona as the camp leader, she had an important choice to make – as punishment for the contraband found in camp she could either step down as leader, or lose two stars won in the day’s trial.

Coming clean, Shona told the camp ‘I’m not responsible for it, but I used it’ as she revealed the contraband in question was some butter she found in the food trunk.

As the celebrities deduced it might have been Alex who smuggled it in, Shona told the Bush Telegraph: ‘I don’t know where it came from, but I saw it and my eyes lit up and I used it’.

Taking the decision herself, Shona decided to dethrone from her role as camp leader as Aitch took Shona’s big leaf she was using as a crown and put it on the fire.

The celebrities then took a vote to appoint a new camp leader, with Ruby winning by a landslide.

She told her campmates: ‘Things are about to change.’ as she told the camp ‘No more Mrs Nice Guy!’ and demanded that Shona should be her footstool, Aitch should be her entertainer and Ginge her dancer.

Jack reflected: ‘Ruby as leader, pure insanity. The craziest dictatorship I think the world will ever know.’

Later around the camp fire, Aitch, Jack and Ginge plotted a rebellion against Ruby as the new camp leader. As Ginge whispered: ‘We are making a stand versus them’

Aitch agreed: ‘I’ve got a lot of things on my chest that need to come off.’

Jack said: ‘Viva la revolution!’

In addition, later that day all celebrities took part in a challenge to win each other’s letters from camp titled ‘Blender Defenders’.

In this, they managed to win ten out of eleven letters, with Jack being the only celebrity not to receive his.

It comes after on Friday night former Lioness Alex Scott was the first contestant to be voted off I’m A Celebrity as she opened up about ‘mentally tough’ experience.

Alex, 41, was made vulnerable after the favourite to leave first, comedian Eddie Kadi, was exempt from the public vote because he won the live trial.

And it appeared Ruby also had something to say about Vogue tending to the fire as she whispered to Ginge: ‘she just destroyed it, she doesn’t know what she’s doing…’

The pundit got a huge round of applause from her campmates as she quickly grabbed her bag and left the I’m A Celebrity camp for a final time.

Speaking to host Ant and Dec, she said: ‘I’m free! It feels strange and doesn’t feel real. Now I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m out.”

Asked whether she is ‘disappointed’ to be the first voted-out, Alex insisted: ‘Oh no! It has been an incredible experience and mentally it has been tough but I am so glad I got to do it with so many amazing campmates.

‘The laughter we have had and we really connected and making the bonds that we did.’
