Two 'confirmed' celebrities in the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2023 line-up could clash as their secret social media spat is revealed.
Just days before the hotly anticipated launch on ITV, fans have unearthed a confrontation between the famous faces, dating all the way back to 2017. The 'final cast' of the 23rd season of the long-running reality show include some huge names.
Celebrities from the world of daytime TV, pop stardom and even politics have signed up to take part in the gruelling reality series – with the pressure on to make this year as successful as the last, which saw disgraced MP Matt Hancock and Lioness Jill Scott go head to head.

First Dates star Fred Sirieix and former UKIP leader turned GB News host Nigel Farage are amongst this year's strongly suggested line-up.
It's thought the pair could get involved in a fair few disagreements after Fred previously called Nigel a "coward" on social media, claiming the ex-politician 'likes money and attention'. It comes as Farage is reportedly being offered over £1million for the jungle gig.

In 2017, Fred tweeted: "Farage is a coward who likes money, attention and the sound of his own voice far too much. Definitely not a selfless idealistic revolutionary." His comments have since been unearthed ahead of his reported appearance on I'm A Celeb. He tweeted again in 2018 that he'd asked a taxi driver to turn off the radio after hearing Farage's voice, adding to several more posts about Nigel.
Fans couldn't believe the pair's previous spat, with one saying they "won't be watching" as a result of the row, with some likening Farage's appearance to Hancock's last year, suggesting viewers can expect lots of 'questioning and arguments'.

And ten celebrities are expected to enter camp in a bid to be crowned king or queen of the jungle. Amongst those thought to be lined up are ex-politician Nigel Farage, 59, jockey Frankie Dettori, 52, This Morning's Josie Gibson, 38, Ex-EastEnder Danielle Harold, 31, First Dates star Fred Sirieix, 51, Made In Chelsea's Sam Thompson, 31, and JLS singer Marvin Humes, 38.

It comes after news that I'm a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here bosses hope US star Jamie Lynn Spears will dish the dirt on her big sister Britney, after lining her up for the jungle. The actress, 32, has long had a tumultuous relationship with her world-famous older sibling, who was held for years in a strict conservatorship by their father.
Now producers believe mum-of-two Jamie Lynn, 32, will prove fascinating when she jets in to Australia for the ITV show. In her recent memoir Britney, 41, branded Jamie Lynn a "total b***h" for not helping her more. Writing in The Woman in Me, the pop superstar claimed she'd reached out for help when she was put into a rehab centre for months against her will, but that her sister had told her to "stop fighting it".
One insider told The Mirror: "Jamie Lynn has got decades of history and bad blood with Britney to rake over and has laid out her feelings pretty clearly in her own book. It will be interesting to hear her spill the beans about her life and her family and the controversial conservatorship - and to find out whether the sisters really do get along now - or not."
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! launches on November 19 on ITV.
