Joe Swash says he no longer trusts David Van Day.

The actor was distraught on Monday when Nicola McLean revealed the singer had told her he was trying to manipulate I'm A Celebrity... contestants and encouraged the glamour model to make Joe - previously an ally of the Dollar star - jealous in a bid to have him evicted from camp.

Upset Joe confided in his camp mates while David was tackling the Celebrity Chest with Simon Webbe.

He said: "You know what does my head in the most with it is that he has been here 14 days and I campaigned for him, I've stood up for him.

"I've helped him mingle into the group and then he wants to make me jealous.

"That's a really, really quite a low down thing to do.

"I'm not going to say nothing to him, I'm just going to let ride.

"People come in here and play a game but there's playing a game and then there's dragging someone else into it trying to trip them up, he tried to use me."

Nicola tried to reassure the 26-year-old star, explaining David's behaviour as being desperate to regain his fame, not a personal attack.

She said: "Some people like David are just so desperate for a career afterwards, its last chance saloon for him."

Star Trek actor George Takei then branded David a "snake in the grass", adding: "I think David is basically that kind of person, a manipulator."
