The former Dollar star was angered after his fellow 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' contestants asked him to give up the prime sleeping spot in the bus for Simon Webbe, who had hurt his neck.

Sceptical David said: "Well I knew earlier this was coming. I think it's about just getting me off the bus I don't think Simon really needs the bed."

When Esther Rantzen then offered to give up her flat bed to David and sleep in a hammock, angry glamour model Nicola McLean said: "No, I'm having the flat bed then, I've been here longer and my back's sore as well. I said to Esther if she's giving up her bed then I'll go in the bed, ladies first."

Martina Navratilova also felt it was fair for Nicola to have the bed, rather than David, who arrived late into camp, arguing that some celebrities who had to live in the Away camp had to sleep on the ground for four days then moved into hammocks, while David had been in the camp for fewer days and got a bed when he was held hostage.

Brian Paddick eventually agreed to sleep in a hammock and give David his bed after saying he felt the singer was being treated unfairly by the rest of the camp.
