I’m A Celeb’s Tulisa bonded with Coleen Rooney over what was branded ‘bean gate’ after the N-Dubz star dropped the camp’s food on the jungle ground on Monday.
The singer, 36, accidentally spilt the rice and beans after attempting to empty the cooking pots without a sieve, unbeknownst to the majority of the other campmates.
Loose Women’s Jane Moore rushed to the recuse and declared the ‘three second rule’ as she helped pick up the food, saying: ‘It’s just a bit of dirt, it’s fine’.
Coleen, 38, then helped to secretly salvage beans, as they washed them in the lagoon and picked out the remaining twigs and grᴀss.
Tulisa, who is more used to fine dining, laughed: ‘This is really ghetto living guys!’.
