ITV I'm A Celebrity fans spot 'real reason' Charlene White won't sleep in RV as Ant and Dec wade into bed row

The I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! jungle recently found itself a new camp leader and deputy in the shape of Matt Hancock MP and Charlene White. In their new roles, the former Health Secretary and ITV News anchor have to delegate chores to their fellow campmates whilst also being unable to help out in the tasks themselves. They are also permitted to sleep in the camp's RV, however Charlene has opted to rule herself out of this.

Her apparent reasoning is that she discovered a spider also making the RV its home, and even spotted it crawling in her bed. Speaking to the Bush Telegraph, Charlene said: "My bravery levels are done for today. I really don't want to have to sleep in the RV." Charlene has also refused to sleep in the RV every night since.

Fans of the popular ITV show are now convinced that the Loose Women star has another reason for sleeping outside - she doesn't want to share the RV with Matt. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.

"What is Charlenes problem. Shes causing such a scene. She shouldn’t be deputy leader if shes going to be ungrateful for an actual bed she’s getting. She’s letting Owen sleep on the ground like seriously!! She clearly doesn’t want to sleep in the same room as Matt," concluded one viewer, reports Manchester Evening News.

A second agreed, writing: "Let's be honest the reason Charlene isn't sleeping in the RV is because of Matt." And a third shared similar frustration and said: "The fact Charlene is making everyone else change their sleeping arrangements cause she doesn't want to sleep in the comfiest bed in the camp and none of them are saying anything to her about that is really annoying me... Just sleep in the RV! You're a grown woman stop being so difficult."

After Wednesday night's show, Ant and Dec weighed in on the situation and asked fans why they thought Charlene was insisting on sleeping in the camp instead. Dec said: "Do you get it? I don’t get it," as Ant replied: "Why would you not want to sleep in there? It can't just be because of the spiders."

He then asked: "Does she not want to sleep with Matt?" Dec suggested that could be the reason and fans were quick to reply in the comment agreeing that was why. Ant then insisted: "I think it might be that but you’ve got to think of others and if other people have to then sleep in a hammock because of your actions and have a bad back, then you’ve got to look at your actions."

"I’m not sure it’s really playing as a team member by doing that. By taking up a bed." Dec said before reading a message which he then asked his co-star: "Is she not breaking the rules as a deputy camp leader by not going in the RV?" Ant replied: "I think maybe she is and I’m going to speak to the producers about it."
