Stacey Solomon was reduced to tears after a row with Gillian McKeith as the TV nutritionist continued to wind up I'm A Celebrity campers. Stacey asked the Channel 4 presenter why she was continuing to put herself through the show when she found it 'unbearable'. But Gillian snapped at the singer to leave her alone and complained that she didn't understand her phobias. Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder has also been complaining yet again about Gillian saying she was self-centred. "Gillian does drive me f****** barmy. It's 'me, me, me' in her world. I can't stand people who are selfish. "She can give it, but she can't take it." His outburst followed her carping about his snoring. She grumbled: "I didn't sleep because there was an inmate snoring all night long so my whole bed was vibrating. I just want to know at what point do I get any consideration for what I want." But fellow camper Lembit Opik barely noticed the singer making a noise in his sleep: "Shauny didn't snore last night." Stacey tried to reason with Gillian to explain she should think about quitting. "If you're so afraid and have so many phobias and are ill over it, you should go. There's nothing keeping you here. You said it's unbearable."
