Politician Nigel, 59,\u00a0was made sous chef by camp leader Danielle Harold on the latest instalment.<\/p>\n
At dinner time Nigel said to Sam: ‘I’ve put the rice on and it’s reducing slowly. There’s enough water in there for the moment.’<\/p>\n
Then lying down, Made In Chelsea star Sam, 31, said: ‘I can sort of chill’ before Nigel reassured him: ‘That should be fine for a few minutes.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later in the Bush Telegraph Nigel said: ‘Everybody was asleep. I thought, ‘Well look, we’ve got to get the rice on.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The cooking drama continued on Thursday night’s I’m A Celebrity as Sam Thompson and Nigel Farage came to blows over some burnt rice<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Politician Nigel, 59, was made sous chef by camp leader Danielle Harold on the latest instalment.<\/p>\n
‘So I put the rice on, the water’s reducing in the rice and soon it’s going to be done.’<\/p>\n
Sam had fallen asleep but woke up smelling the rice as he said: ‘Why does this smell like it’s burning?’<\/p>\n
After ascertaining it was indeed burnt, Sam in the Bush Telegraph said: ‘I don’t know if I’ve burnt the rice. I don’t know who has burnt the rice.’<\/p>\n
Nigel then said: ‘Sam, I did say to you it was reducing. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. He’s ruined the rice.’<\/p>\n
Sam then replied: ‘I thought you had it’ to which Nigel retorted:\u00a0‘I said to you, it’s reducing.’<\/p>\n
In the Bush Telegraph Danielle moaned: ‘Sam and Nigel not doing so great in the kitchen. They have both burnt that rice.’<\/p>\n
Sam later tried it and said: ‘It’ll do. It tastes like burnt popcorn.’<\/p>\n
Boxer Tony Bellew in camp said of the incident: ‘You had one job Sam. You’re head chef. You fell asleep on the job.’<\/p>\n
Nigel then replied to him: ‘To be fair, he has taken full responsibility’, before Sam rallied, saying: ‘I think it’s going to be lovely.’<\/p>\n

Marvin in the Bush Telegraph explained: ‘One’s blaming the other, Sam’s blaming Nigel, Nigel’s blaming Sam.’<\/p>\n
Sam then admitted: ‘Communication was lacking.’<\/p>\n
Sam then added in camp: ‘Nige, threw me right under the bus. I’m almost certain I didn’t hear him say, ‘Can you watch over it? But as head chef, I’m taking responsibility.’<\/p>\n
It comes after\u00a0Nick Pickard\u00a0became the fourth I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! campmate to back Sam Thompson for 2023 King of the Jungle.<\/p>\n
The Hollyoaks actor, 48, was eliminated from the Australian camp during Wednesday’s episode after going up against Josie Gibson in the bottom two.<\/p>\n
After his exit, he joined hosts Ant and Dec to speak about his time in the jungle, and he was asked who he wants to see crowned the 2023 winner as just six stars remain.<\/p>\n
Nick, best known for playing\u00a0Tony Hutchinson in Hollyoaks, showed his support for Sam, 31, as he shared his hopes for the\u00a0Made In Chelsea star’s victory.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘[Sam] deserves it, well they all deserve it, but he does and I think he really wants to win… Sam’s the lifeblood in there, it wouldn’t be the same without him, he’s got so much energy.’<\/p>\n
Nick is the fourth campmate to have backed Sam as the 2023 winner, as all three previously eliminated campmates also backed the TV personality for the crown.<\/p>\n
Frankie Dettori was the first campmate to be eliminated in the public vote and admitted he thinks Sam will take home the top prize this year.<\/p>\n
He said: ‘My bet would be Sam. He brings a lot to the table, he\u2019s entertaining, he is silly, he sings, he is happy and I think what people is going to like about him is all of that. That \u2026 to me is the winner.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nella Rose was the next star to be voted out of the jungle, and she too said:\u00a0‘I think Sam should be King of the Jungle, he has wanted to do this since he was a kid.’<\/span><\/p>\n Fred Sirieix left camp on Tuesday after the third public vote and once again bet on Sam to make it all the way in this year’s series.<\/span><\/p>\n Sam has become a firm fan favourite on the smash hit ITV reality show, with viewers being won over by his bubbly personality and enthusiasm.<\/span><\/p>\n As well as his campmates backing him,\u00a0bookies have also been predicting that he will take home the crown\u00a0this year.<\/span><\/p>\n Campmates and viewers alike will just have to wait a matter of days before finding out who will be crowned winner as the countdown for Sunday’s final begins.<\/span><\/p>\n Just six stars now remain in the camp following four public votes, while Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent both quit the show early on separate medical\u00a0grounds.<\/p>\n Nick became the fourth campmate to be eliminated from the jungle on Wednesday, and fans were left shocked by his exit.<\/p>\n Fans took to X – formerly known as Twitter –\u00a0to admit they were ‘gutted’ that he had been booted out of the camp.<\/p>\n One wrote: ‘Gutted that Nick has gone,’ and another said: ‘If it was another year Nick would have won, what a lovely man.’<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It comes after Nick Pickard became the fourth I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! campmate to back Sam Thompson for 2023 King of the Jungle\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sam has become a firm fan favourite on the smash hit ITV reality show, with viewers being won over by his bubbly personality and enthusiasm\u00a0<\/p>\n A third penned: ‘Ohhh I liked Nick.
