Charlene White says she’s ‘fine’ to give up a bed on I’m a Celebrity after she annoyed Mike Tindall

Charlene White dared to raise the dire sleeping arrangements on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on Thursday night. 

The Loose Women star, 42, said she’s be happy to sleep in a hammock so that everyone can alternate between a flat bed for a good night’s sleep. 

It comes after her campmate Mike Tindall fumed at her because she refused to sleep in the RV alongside Matt Hancock, because she was worried about spiders. 

‘I keep telling everyone that I’ll sleep in the hammock!’ Charlene White said she’s ‘fine’ to give up a bed on I’m a Celebrity on Thursday… after Mike Tindall said she’s ‘f***ing annoying him’ for refusing to sleep in the RV

‘I’ve said that I’m fine sleeping in a hammock. We’ve all got to alternate. Even if I sleep in there [the RV] there will still be two people left in a hammock. We’ve all got to alternate so no-one spends seven days sleeping in it,’ she began.

She added in the Bush Telegraph: ‘I keep telling everyone that I’ll sleep in the hammock, which I’m really happy to do. I think maybe I need to be more forceful about it tonight.’

Campmate Owen Warner, 23, said to Charlene: ‘I’ve got more chance of having a rest in it than you.’

Sweet: Owen added that he refuses to let Charlene sleep in a hammock as she’s like his ‘mum’ in the jungle

Owen added that he refuses to let Charlene sleep in a hammock as she’s like his ‘mum’ in the jungle. 

‘I feel like saying, go on, sleep in the hammock and I bet you, in the middle of the night, she’s going to sneak up to the RV and get in that bed,’ he said to camera.

‘Charlene’s like my mum in here, it’s like me putting my mum in a hammock whilst I’ve got a bed, so we’ll see.’

Owen had volunteered to sleep in a hammock so Seann Walsh, 36, could sleep on a flat bed.

Annoyed: It comes after Mike fumed at Charlene after she refused to sleep in the RV during I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! on Wednesday

Seann said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘Owen, god bless that man, he gave up his bed. I needed that sleep. I really, really, really, really, really, really needed that sleep.’

It comes after Mike fumed at Charlene after she refused to sleep in the RV during I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! on Wednesday. 

The rugby star, 44, lost his cool on the latest episode after the Loose Women presenter, 42, said she wouldn’t stay in the vehicle with Matt Hancock due to the spiders. 

It means there is one less bed available in camp meaning more people have to sleep in hammocks – a decision which viewers have branded selfish and led hosts Ant and Dec to potentially report her to producers. 

Mike said on Wednesday night’s show after she refused to go in for a third night running: ‘Why is she not sleeping in the RV? It’s f***ing annoying me.’

Mike later explained to the Bush Telegraph: ‘If Charlene went in the RV, then another bed becomes available.

‘One less in the hammock, then hopefully that creates more, better night’s sleep for everyone.’

Rage: Mike said on Wednesday night’s show after she refused to go in for a third night running: ‘Why is she not sleeping in the RV? It’s f***ing annoying me’

Fans flocked to Twitter to comment on Mike’s outburst, as one said: ‘I think Mike has had enough of Charlene not sleeping in the RV.’

A second said: ‘Mike getting p***** off over Charlene.’ A third chimed in: ‘I agree with Mike.’

It comes as Ant and Dec have said they were planning on reporting Charlene to producers for potentially ‘rule breaking’ over not sleeping in the RV. 

The Geordie duo said the deputy camp leader wasn’t ‘playing as a team member’.

Oh no:  It comes as Ant and Dec have said they were planning on reporting Charlene to producers for potentially ‘rule breaking’ over not sleeping in the RV

Charlene and Matt where selected as deputy and camp leader meaning they get to have comfy beds in the RV.

Speaking in an Instagram Live after the show Dec said on the matter: ‘Can we talk about the hammock RV situation? Do you get it? I don’t.’ 

Ant then replied: ‘Why would she not want to sleep in there, it can’t just be because of the spider. Is it because you don’t want to sleep next to Matt? 

‘Is that it? You’ve got to think of the other people that have to then sleep in a hammock because of your actions and then have a bad back. Then you’ve got to look at your actions, don’t you?’

Not happy: It means there is one less bed available in camp meaning more people have to sleep in hammocks – a decision which viewers have branded selfish

Dec then said: ‘I am not sure it is playing as a team member taking up a bed.’ When one fan on social media then suggested it was against the rules of the trial, and Ant agreed.

He said: ‘It is against the rules they said…well yeah maybe. I think maybe she is and I am going to speak to the producers about it.’ 

Viewers also had their say on the situation, with one writing: ‘Charlene is so selfish to not get in the RV and free up a bed.’

Another said: ‘Nothing has ever annoyed me more than Charlene not going in the RV.’ A third wrote: ‘CHARLENE JUST GO IN THE RV WHY IS OWEN SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR???’

Reaction: Viewers also had their say on the situation, with one writing: ‘Charlene is so selfish to not get in the RV and free up a bed’

Tensions rose in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp in Wednesday night’s episode as the stars clashed over their bed allocations.

Seann pleaded with his fellow campmates for a bed swap as he complained about having a bad back due to sleeping in a hammock, rather than a flat wooden bed.

However, Charlene was reluctant to sleep in the RV alongside camp leader Matt despite Owen Warner’s pleas for her to do so to give them an extra bed for Seann.

Other campmates also urged Charlene to return to the comfortable RV, where only camp leaders are allowed to sleep, while Boy George shared his refusal to swap to a hammock.

The campmates were forced to change their arrangements when Charlene, 42, decided she didn’t want to sleep in the RV alongside Matt, 44, leaving an empty bed in the RV and an extra campmate sleeping outdoors.

In a sign of tensions rising, Seann shared his concerns after another uncomfortable night sleeping in a hammock rather than a bed, complaining that he had a bad back.

He said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘Whenever I see now, like a holiday postcard with someone in a hammock on a beach, I’m going to be like, ‘That is a lie!’ I want to sleep on the floor, but I’m too scared I’ll get eaten alive.’

He asked Mike to crack his back, with the rugby player lifting him into the air in a bid to assist the comedian, 36, who then pleaded for a bed swap.

Ouch! Seann Walsh pleaded with his fellow campmates for a bed swap as he complained about having a bad back due to sleeping in a hammock, rather than a flat wooden bed

After Mike cracked his back, he added: ‘We’ve got our very own chiropractor in the jungle. When you’ve been sleeping in a banana for eight nights in a row, you need Mike Tindall to crack your back.’

In main camp, Owen Warner kindly offered to swap beds with Seann for a night, saying he would take the hammock while Seann could have his wooden bed. 

‘Swap tonight if you want? We’ll take it in turns having no sleep,’ Owen said. 

‘Bless you, I really appreciate that,’ a grateful Seann replied.

Painful: He asked Mike to crack his back, with the rugby player lifting him into the air in a bid to assist the comedian, 36, who then pleaded for a bed swap

‘I’m saying yes to you because you’re 23. Your age has come to haunt you. Thank you.’

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Seann added: ‘I love Owen, he’s such a sweet man, coming to help Uncle Seann.’

But the bed allocations quickly became a point of tension when Owen asked Charlene if she would return to the RV, where she and Matt were given the luxury of sleeping in their roles as camp leaders.

Despite having a comfy bed and mattress in the RV, Charlene shared her reluctance to move back into the van, even though her choice left the campmates with one bed short outside.

Owen, who was allowed to sleep in the RV for a few nights alongside Jill Scott, said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘The RV is lovely. A comfy bed, mattress, duvet, pillows… the RV is an unreal night’s sleep literally.’

Owen then said privately to Charlene: ‘Is there no way you’d be comfortable sleeping in the RV?’ 

‘Me and Seann are going to have to alternate,’ he added, referring to the lack of proper beds for all the campmates outside.

Charlene admitted: ‘I know.’

Owen said: ‘I don’t want to put any pressure on you. I’d rather sleep in a hammock than you be uncomfortable.’

To which Charlene conceded: ‘I’ll try it again tonight.’

Charlene admitted she felt guilty taking up a bed outside but admitted that she didn’t want to return to sleep in the RV as tensions rose.

She said in the Bush Telegraph: ‘I feel incredibly guilty about Seann’s back. But I really, really don’t want to sleep in [the RV].’

Persuaded: Owen then said privately to Charlene: ‘Is there no way you’d be comfortable sleeping in the RV?’

Later, Mike also shared his concerns about Seann’s bad back and told Matt to try and persuade his deputy leader Charlene to return to the RV.

He said to Matt: ‘Our leader, you need to have a word with your deputy. She needs to go back in the RV to let Seann go on the thing.’ 

‘Owen spoke to her this morning,’ Matt responded.

To which Owen said: ‘She said she’ll try.’

Seann then joked: ‘I think you should try the hammock George.’

However, Boy George insisted that he would not be sleeping in the hammock any time soon, adding: ‘I don’t want to be in the hammock because I won’t sleep. I don’t want to be in the RV either.’

Seann joked to Boy George: ‘I can read the subtext, you want the hammock, have the hammock.’

But Boy George hit back, saying: ‘I’ve never slept in a hammock. I’m 61, I know what I want… Let’s stop this debate now.’

He jokingly added: ‘You don’t know me babe, you ain’t seen me wound up. It’s a whole other scenario. I ain’t done it for years… you’re getting ‘kick off lite’.’

Seann laughed: ‘Diet kick off!’

Jill said: ‘That’s a good one. Wait for the full fat!’

Later in the evening, Owen said it was a ‘crime’ that he, Seann and Scarlette were forced to brave sleeping in the hammock when there was a comfy bed free in the RV, as Charlene refused to move back to the van. 

The row came after Charlene recently said she wouldn’t be sleeping in the RV alongside former health secretary Matt, after the pair were awarded the privilege as a luxury for camp leaders.

Charlene and Matt have clashed throughout the show, with the journalist quizzing him on his politics while she was seen looking unimpressed after the Tory MP’s initial controversial arrival in the jungle.
