I'm A Celeb's Alan Halsall lost his temper with fellow campmate Dean McCullough as tensioned boiled over between the pair on Saturday.
The Radio 1 DJ, 32, rubbed the Corrie actor, 42, up the wrong way after neglecting his chores and taking a nap following a huge helping of junk food thanks to Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Cole's secret mission win.
But after leaving Loose Women's Jane Moore collect firewood alone, an infuriated Alan decided to wake his campmate, who barely stirred.
'You don't fancy it? No?' the soap star asked, before traipsing off to help Jane himself after she confessed: 'I can’t do it on my own'.
Dean then later joined them and told Alan 'You can go back now', before the actor explained: 'I was trying to wake you up as soft as I could.'

Dean then hit back: 'Listen to me. If you're gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright? It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright, so you don't need to turn around to me and say "Do you not fancy it, Ok?" And then turn around and walk away.'
'I've listened to you, Jane was halfway down here, that's why I went' Alan replied as the pair got into a heated back and forth.
It comes after a a body language expert has revealed 'highly sensitive' Dean could soon quit the ITV show, after being chosen by viewers to face three Bushtucker Trails in as many days.
The Radio 1 star, who also paired up with GK Barry for one challenge earlier this week, has quit every one which has even annoyed host Ant McPartlin, who later apologised for his unprofessional behaviour after fans clocked his 'furious' reaction.
Teaming up with Mecca Games expert Nicole Greenfield-Smith said: 'If Dean flunks many more trials, it could leave him susceptible to walking.'
'Firstly, Dean and GK Barry in a Bushtucker Trial proved to be a disastrous combo'
'Even though they went in with the best intentions. We all have 'mirror neurons' which enable us to connect and empathise with others'.
'This means we are highly sensitive to the mood, tone of voice and body language of those around us. So, if we hear someone screaming and panicking it intensifies our own fear, which is exactly what happened with the hapless duo and why they left the trial with zero stars.'

Dean then hit back: 'Listen to me. If you're gonna wake me up, you need to give me a minute, alright? It takes a couple of minutes for my contact lenses to get back working again, alright'
'If Dean continues to be selected for trials and lets his fear dominate, it's likely that some of the other campmates will lose patience with him for not delivering the goods'.
Going on to say: 'Our brains are wired for social connection and cooperation. Disappointing others can trigger feelings of rejection, shame, or guilt, which may well tip Dean over the edge.'
Nicole also concluded that Alan's patience already seemed to be waning pointing out his many 'side glances, sighs and subtle gestures that suggest disapproval'.
It comes after Danny Jones helped Dean changed his fortuned and bag eight stars for camp as they braved the High Street Of Horrors in the latest Bushtucker Trial during Friday's episode - before one of them was faced with a huge twist.
The radio presenter and McFly star, 38, finally ended the streak of poor performances that saw Dean shout 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' not once but twice.
As voted for by the British public, the duo headed down to the Bushtucker Trial area to face the challenge, as Danny jokingly asked Dean: 'Fancy going shopping?'
Horrified to learn they'd be joining them there, Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Coles also headed down to the Trial area for the day's Bushtucker Trial, not knowing what lay in store.
First to arrive were Maura and Richard. They were greeted by Ant and Dec and asked how they were enjoying the Jungle Junkyard, Maura revealed: 'We've had a lovely time… I'm loving it!'
While Richard joked: 'I'm really consumed with guilt!'
