I’m A Celebrity 2020: AJ Pritchard and Shane Richie have a tiff over dirty PANS

They were assigned their camp chores on Sunday’s episode.

And it appears that the new structure is already proving a little difficult for some members of the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp.

During Monday’s show, AJ Pritchard was left unimpressed after he discovered the pans hadn’t been cleaned and ended up having a little tiff with Shane Richie. 

‘This is where people get p**** with each other!’: AJ Pritchard and Shane Richie had a tiff over dirty pans on Monday’s episode of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

AJ, 26, who is in charge of maintenance, said to Mo Farah and Giovanna Fletcher that he couldn’t boil water because the pots and pans hadn’t been cleaned. 

Giovanna then suggested that he should ask Shane, who alongside Ruthie Henshall was assigned washing as a chore, if he could clean a pan.

Talking in the Telegraph, AJ said: ‘I like my job because it’s like “gentle persuasion” or a nudge to some people to maybe say “here’s the washing up, it needs to be done”.’

AJ walked over to Shane, 56, and asked him to clean the pots and pans.

However Shane said: ‘I need hot water, I left them to soak last night, all ready to be cleaned but I need hot water.’

Trouble brewing? The dancer, 26, wanted to boil some water and asked the actor, 56, who had been tasked with the washing chore, if he could clean a pan out for him

This didn’t go down too well with AJ, and the dancer pointed out: ‘But you’ve left them in the pan that does the hot water.’ 

Shane said ‘left what in the pan?’, to which AJ replied: ‘The big pan that we put the hot water in.’

Shane looked at Vernon as AJ walked away and said: ‘This ain’t working for me, the waiting for someone to do that…’

And speaking with deputy camp leader Victoria Derbyshire, Shane said: ‘This is where people get p**** with each other.’ 

Bad timing: Shane said he needed hot water to clean out the pots, but AJ pointed out that they had been left soaking inside the big pan which the camp uses for putting water

'This ain't working for me': Frustrated Shane didn't seem to be liking the new set up of having to wait for other campmates to complete their chores

Victoria replied that they wouldn’t get wound up and Shane said:’No, we won’t.’

Talking in the Telegraph, Russell said: ‘Mood today in camp is a little different than it has been the past few days. Everyone has been given specific tasks and there’s been a little of needle, “have you done this”, “have you done that”.’ 

AJ also reflected on the to-do and said: ‘His [Shane’s] response was I need boiling water to do the washing up, well we need pots and pans to do the boiling water.’ 

While Shane added: ‘I needed water and someone’s gotta fetch the water and someone’s gotta heat the water and unless I’m barking order I didn’t want to wash dirty plates and pans in cold water.’ 

Later Giovanna asked if the boiling water on the fire was OK or if it could do with a nudge over the flames. 

Shane said it needed a nudge but neither of them could do that because it wasn’t part of their camp chores. 

Giovanna said in the Telegraph: ‘One thing we’re finding difficult is everyone had chores allocated. Everyone’s getting on with it, possibly some more reluctantly than others.’  

The topic of chores also cropped up after the trial, with some of the campmates starting express a little frustration at being stuck in their roles.

Vernon said: ‘Now we all have our specific jobs around the camp it’s really difficult to watch and observe.’

While Giovanna said in the Telegraph: ‘There’s definitely some micromanagement going on and when you’re in that situation you have to see it as people trying to be helpful rather than just sticking their oar in.’

On Sunday’s show Jordan North was announced as the first camp leader with him picking journalist Victoria to be deputy.

They soon dished out camp chores to their campmates, choosing to make the camp chefs Sir Mo and Giovanna.

While Vernon Kay and Beverley Callard were put in charge of the laundry and maintenance chores fell to AJ and Hollie Arnold.

Ruthie Henshall and Shane were tasked with taking care of the washing and Jessica Plummer and Russell Watson with tackling the cleaning.
