Gemma Collins Accuses Sinitta of Being a 'Rat' in Explosive WhatsApp Row
Gemma Collins has reportedly launched a blistering attack on fellow celebrity Sinitta, accusing her of being a 'rat' within the private WhatsApp group for the upcoming I'm A Celebrity All Stars series. According to insider reports, tensions have soared to fever pitch even before the spin-off show returns to television screens on April 6th.
Accusations Fly in Group Chat
The dramatic confrontation unfolded when Gemma Collins, 45, allegedly posted a message in the group chat accusing an unnamed individual of leaking stories about her to the press. Before anyone could respond, she directly pointed the finger at Sinitta, 62, branding her as the source of the betrayal. A television insider described the scene as reminiscent of the 'Wagatha Christie' drama, leaving other celebrities in the chat stunned and silent.
Sinitta was said to be 'dumbfounded' and 'incredibly upset' by the public accusation, which has cast a 'massive cloud' over what was previously a cheerful and friendly group. Several celebrities reportedly rallied to Sinitta's defense, feeling that such an allegation was unnecessary and inappropriate for a group setting.
Attempts at Reconciliation Fail
In an effort to smooth over the tension, Sinitta approached Gemma Collins at the All Stars launch event held earlier this month at London's Ham Yard Hotel. However, the encounter reportedly left Sinitta taken aback when Gemma brushed aside her previous accusations and was 'very nice to her face'. This behavior has left a sour taste among many in the group, who feel Gemma created significant drama only to pretend it never happened.
The insider revealed, 'It left a bad taste in a lot of famous mouths because Gemma had caused all this tension, then just made out like it was nothing.' While Sinitta was pleased the issue appeared resolved, other cast members are now reportedly worried that Gemma could suddenly turn on them next.
Background of the Celebrities Involved
Gemma Collins first appeared on I'm A Celebrity in 2014, famously quitting the show after just 72 hours. Sinitta entered the jungle in 2011, fifteen years ago. Their current clash adds to existing tensions within the All Stars cast, following reports of a separate rage incident between Adam Thomas and footballer Jimmy Bullard during filming in South Africa.
When asked about his experience on the show, Ryan Thomas admitted it was tough, saying, 'I got such imposter syndrome, it's a lot to take in... it was an experience to say the least but I'm glad that I did it.' Meanwhile, former Queen of the Jungle Scarlett Moffatt revealed that none of the celebrities use the group WhatsApp chat anymore, acknowledging that while they all got along, there were definite 'peaks and troughs' in their relationships.
Representatives for both Gemma Collins and Sinitta have been contacted by the Daily Mail for comment, but no official statements have been released regarding the WhatsApp spat. As the show's premiere approaches, viewers will be watching closely to see if these behind-the-scenes tensions spill onto the screen.
