I’m A Celeb’s Josie Gibson, 38, left viewers in hysterics as she branded straight campmate Nick Pickard, 48, ‘a gay best friend’ on Friday

After The Hollyoaks actor joined the ladies for a chat and revealed his love of Tupperware he soon found himself branded one of the girls.

Writing: ‘Josie has apparently blown Rylan out and now she has Nick’.

While a second said: ‘Josie really said Nick is girly pop lol’.

And: ‘Nick is one of the girls ahaha’.

Nick is in fact in a longterm relationship with girlfriend Sarah Corrin, who recently touched down in Australia to greet the actor when he leaves the jungle. 

The couple live together in Liverpool but their relationship has remained out of the public eye.

She told MailOnline she has been begging family and friends to vote the Hollyoaks actor in for his first Bushtucker Trial.

‘I’ve still yet to see him do a Bushtucker Trial and all my friends and family are like, “What shall we do?” And I keep saying, “Vote! Vote” and people are like you’re not meant to vote him in but I think we are! I think he’d enjoy it,’ she said.

‘I’ve heard a lot of people say we’ve not seen enough of him on the screen,’ she added.

Chaos unfolded elsewhere in the episode after the campmates were exposed to a major health hazard.

Josie and YouTuber Nella Rose, 26, failed to pack the group’s pans away the evening before, leaving them exposed to critters.

Rodents invaded the camp and entered the pans as they could smell the food that had been cooked in them.

Camp leader Sam Thompson, 31, demanded they be thoroughly washed in order to keep the celebrities fit and healthy, prompting Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard, 48, to volunteer for the job so they could use the pans for breakfast.

First Dates star Fred Sirieix, 51, explained in the Bush Telegraph: ‘Nella and Josie didn’t put the pans away in the box last night, so what happened, they were left outside and rodents came in and went inside the pans because they could smell the food.’

Camp leader Sam said: ‘Any pots and pans that were left out last night need to be re-washed.

‘Anything could crawl over it. It’s a health hazard.’

Nick volunteered: ‘I’ll go wash it then.’

Sam in the Bush Telegraph admitted: ‘I’m not very good at giving orders, I’m going to be honest with you. Had to do it, comes with the job title.

‘Nella and Josie, they’ve done a lot of washing up already, I made the executive decision, anyone that wants to do it, they can do it.

‘Nick actually took it because he’s a really good lad.’
