Emily Atack reminds fans of Amir Khans Strawberry-gate on Im A Celebrity as she steals a chilli

Emily Atack shocked fans by stealing a chilli at dinner on tonights episode of Im A Celebrity – without even owning up.

The whole saga reminded fans of Strawberry-gate, when Amir Khan and Iain Lee pretended theyd lost a Dingo Dollar Challenge so as they could keep the prize of strawberries and cream to themselves.

Theyre a sneaky bunch, these celebs!

Emily didnt own up to the other celebs about the newly christened Chilli-gate but sheepishly admitted she was guilty afterwards in the Bush Telegraph, confessing that she was just too hungry.

Poor Malique Thompson-Dwyer was the unlucky celeb to go without, with the others baffled about where it had gone.

This Emily chilli-gate thing is just as bad as Amir and Ians strawberries and cream-gate from last year, one viewer pointed out.

THIS IS WORSE THAN STRAWBERRY GATE, one viewer claimed.

Chilli-gate comes after Emilys ex claimed she could on the cards to be this years Queen Of The Jungle.

Her ex-boyfriend, model-turned-estate agent Jack Vacher, said: Im sure shell do great!

In an unearthed interview, Emily revealed that she also felt uncomfortable standing next to handsome Jack when they were together.

Its nice to look at a photo of my boyfriend Jack, hes rather handsome, she said.

Sometimes I dont want to stand next to him for that reason. Hes a model so is used to celeb events. I struggle getting ready for things.

Luckily, she seems to be thriving in camp – chilli-gate aside, that is.
