David Ginola shows no-nonsense attitude as Naughty Boy threatens to quit I’m a Celeb

Ginola bit his tongue as fellow campmates thought about quitting.

Newcastle United star David Ginola looked bemused on last night's episode of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here as fellow campmates Naughty Boy and Arlene Phillips threatened to quit.

Music producer Naughty Boy returned from the Treacherous Traps trial empty-handed after he was beaten by Radio 1Xtra's Snoochie Shy.

The producer, who has worked with Beyonce and Sam Smith, was in poor spirits as he headed out to the trial after being picked by the opposing camp.

Naughty Boy mused that they must think him the weakest contestant after he failed to win in the Don't Waste It challenge alongside David Ginola.

Returning from the trial, he said: "I don't think I'll be coming to the main camp.

"I genuinely think that my time here was to be here with you in the clink, that's where my heart is.

"I can't continue something that my heart isn't in anymore. I'm led by my heart.

"I can't suddenly join a camp that don't give a s**t about us.

"As amazing as my experience has been, I think it's over."

Strictly Come Dancing's Arlene Phillips then shared similar thoughts as Ginola and Richard Madeley listened.

Ginola, who snapped at Naughty Boy for taking too long during the challenge earlier that day, dropped his usual chatty personality to listen bemused.

The NUFC star sat with his arms folded and eyes distracted as he bit his tongue.

Before making his way to bed, he eventually said: "You know what they say, enjoy your last night in the clink."

Earlier in the episode, during the Don't Waste It challenge, Ginola stripped off - much to the delight of contestant Frankie Bridge and viewers at home.

The footballer's dashing looks have already sent the internet into a frenzy and helped him to become outright favourite to win I'm a Celeb.

Another said: "David Ginola Shirtless on #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb . Ding B****y Dong … Certainly made my eyes widen ….. Happy Tuesday indeed."
