From contraband to doomed revolutions in the camp, last night's episode of I'm A Celebrity was VERY dramatic. And poor old Kian Egan was caught up in the middle of it all, after getting on the wrong side of Matthew Wright.

We're not kidding; Matthew ended up calling Kian a scab. A scab!

"That's solidarity, brother, that's what happened with industrial relations in this country - scabs like you"

It all kicked off when Kian asked for the rain canopy to be moved to provide some shade to the sweltering campmates. But, producers wanting some good telly (and presumably more topless sunbathing shots from Amy), turned down the request.

Matthew lost his temper, saying: "If we all take our mics off, we'll soon find the canopy will come down pretty quick. Are you with me fellows, revolution aye?"

Just one look at Alfonso's deadpan expression was enough to tell us that, no, the fellows were NOT with Matthew on this one.

Matthew Wright tried to inspire his fellow campmates to revolt - without much luck.

But Matthew didn't give up on his plan. When Emmerdale star Lucy Pargeter came back into the camp after her bushtucker trial and Kian asked her about it, the TV chat show host interrupted her, saying: "We thought we'd sit here in complete silence until the canopy comes down."

But Kian kept talking before he was told: "That's solidarity, brother, that's what happened with industrial relations in this country - scabs like you."

"Oh scab! I didn't even want the canopy down, I'm only doing it for everyone else. I thought we were going to make some kind of stand and then every three seconds you are undermining it."

Kian snapped back: "You are the only person who wants to do it! Lucy has just come back from the trial - we should listen to her speak! Let her talk about it. Your attitude is unnecessary."

Well, quite. And it seemed as if Kian's campmates were in full agreement, with Alfonso (who starred in the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air as Carlton Banks) standing up to support the Westlife star.

It's no wonder, then, that poor old Kian has been feeling envious of Joey Essex and Amy Willerton's more lighthearted approach to jungle life.

Poor Kian wants to play with the jungle kids

From secret handshakes, dances and cuddles, the jungle pals are maintaining a pretty sunny outlook on camp life - and Kian wishes he could join in the fun.

“Everyone is slagging them off and taking the mickey out of them and saying ‘oh look at them making up handshakes'.”

“Sometimes I would like to be over there with the two kids because sometimes they are ten times more light-hearted than what’s going on in the main camp.”

GO AND PLAY WITH THE KIDS, KIAN! You deserve it. Although, now that all contraband has been taken away, we're afraid you won't get a stick of gum when you join Joey and Amy's treehouse club…
