Less than 24 hours after she was elected camp leader, I’m a Celebrity’s Shona McGarty fell on her sword when contraband butter was found in the food trunk. <\/p>\n

Shona insisted \u201cI\u2019m not responsible for it, but I used it\u201d and begged campmates \u201cPlease don\u2019t hate me.\u201d But after departed Lioness Alex Scott, 41, was rumbled on camera for her illicit salt and pepper stash and Shona admitted hiding stolen air freshener in the camp toilet, an amnesty box was put into the jungle last week \u2013 and Shona kept the butter secret.<\/p>\n

Ant and Dec were quick to share their disapproval too, alluding to Lisa saying she’d won extra stars in her mind during the trial, saying: “This wasn’t imaginary butter. This was actual butter and with actual butter comes actual consequences.”<\/p>\n

Shona stepped down as leader \u2013 it was that or lose two stars won in today\u2019s trial \u2013 but once Ruby was elected to replace her, an uprising began almost instantly.<\/p>\n

Ruby didn\u2019t help her cause as glorious leader when she the remaining 11 campmates that \u201cThings are about to change!\u201d and there would be \u201cno more Mrs Nice Guy!\u201d She demanded Shona become her footstool, Aitch her entertainer and Ginge her dancer. <\/p>\n

Out of Ruby\u2019s earshot, Jack began plotting with Aitch and Ginge, declaring \u201cRuby as leader, pure insanity. The craziest dictatorship I think the world will ever know.\u201d <\/p>\n

Around the campfire, Ginge suggested the mutinous trio should be \u201cmaking a stand versus them,\u201d and Jack agreed, saying \u201cViva la revolution!\u201d <\/p>\n

Smuggling and now a Lord of the Flies-style uprising\u2026 this year\u2019s jungle is chaos and we\u2019re so here for it. There was even a show trial, the perfect dictator\u2019s justice.<\/p>\n

Whoever bought the butter in \u2013 and let\u2019s be honest, it\u2019s unlikely to be the boys \u2013 Alex was tried and found guilty in absentia. A remorseful Shona told the Bush Telegraph that she had no idea where it came from, but when she saw it, \u201cmy eyes lit up and I used it\u201d. By then it was too late. Ruby was on the throne, and the talk of jungle rebellion threatened celeb-on-celeb conflict on an epic scale. <\/p>\n
