Dean Gaffney reportedly got into a fight with Janice Dickinson’s husband Robert Gerner after the actor tried to kiss her.
According to reports, the former EastEnders star – who played Robbie Jackson on the hit soap – angered Robert ‘Rocky’ when he tried to kiss the supermodel.
I’m A Celebrity 2008 winner Joe Swash allegedly broke up the fight after Dean the pair swore and shouted at each other.
The alleged altercation is said to have happened in front of the other I’m A Celebrity stars while they were at a restaurant in South Africa.
Addressing the incident, contestant Gillian McKeith said: ‘I was sitting there with my daughter Skylar and two-year-old grandson Landon and I became aware of a bit of a kerfuffle. I looked up and Dean and Robert were right there.
‘I saw Janice’s husband Robert hold Dean’s arms — he held his forearms tight, pushed him back and there was a push and pull going on.’

The nutritionist also told The Sun that Janice still had injuries on her face from a fall during filming, which caused concern for her husband.
‘It was a misunderstanding,’ Gillian added.
Friday night’s episode saw Gillian and Shaun Ryder, Phil Tufnell and Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo, and Andy Whyment and Jordan Banjo go head-to-head in a Bushtucker Trial, but it was Shaun and Gillian who were sent packing after failing miserably at a rather frightening task.
After their elimination was confirmed, they both said they were ‘gutted’ to be out first, as they weren’t ready to go.
‘I’m sad to leave because I really wanted to stay,’ Gillian said.

When asked what went wrong during the trial, the Scottish star explained: ‘There were quite a few snakes in there, and one of the heads popped out and I got such a fright. I put my hand in, I went down, and something wrapped itself around my hand and I couldn’t shift it.’
Shaun was especially sad to leave new pal Phil behind, giving him a big hug as his friend headed back to camp.
‘I wanted to take Phil home!’, he said.
Joe and Dean are reportedly the next set of celebs to tackle the jungle this week.
