'DON'T SPEAK ON MY BEHALF'
SCARLETT Moffatt broke down in tears on I'm A Celebrity tonight after watching newcomers Martin Roberts and Danny Baker's explosive row, admitting "I'd normally ring my mam now."
In the first argument of the series so far, the pair - who only entered camp together just days ago - hurled insults at each other, disrupting the peace and harmony of the camp.

And while their fellow celebs all laughed it off, former Gogglebox star Scarlett couldn't hold back her tears, admitting: "I hate awkwardness."
Blaming Martin and Danny for shaking up the dynamic, Scarlett insisted it was all going well until they arrived.
Noticing she was upset, Larry Lamb asked the TV star if she was OK.
“Not really Larry.” Scarlett admitted as she started to cry.

As he asked what had happened, Scarlett said: “Just to hear the arguing, I just feel all week it’s been such an experience and all of a sudden like….”
Seeing the commotion, fellow campmates Sam Quek and Ola Jordan quickly comforted her.
“It’s not an argument, just a discussion, everyone’s dead emotional.” Sam insisted.
“I’m just tired, I just don’t want it to be awkward.” Scarlett replied.

Poor Scarlett was left in tears just hours before, as she listened to Danny recall his brave fight with cancer, and it seems she's struggling to contain her emotions.
Joel later said in the Bush Telegraph: “People deal with different things in different ways. Seeing Scarlett upset is not nice, the team being split is so difficult.”
In an attempt to brighten the mood, Larry asked Scarlett to sit on his lap while he sat on the Presidential Throne.
She later said to him: “It’s been fun and now all of a sudden, cause of a stupid game that doesn’t matter, people start to argue.”

Speaking in the Bush Telegraph later, Larry said: “Morale for the blue team has suffered a bit of a dent, bit of a bang but the problem for Scarlett was these two people having a little dig at each other and that’s what she doesn’t like, that’s what upset her. She just needed a cuddle on the Presidential Throne – we all need it now and again.”
Attempting to explain to Martin what had happened, Lisa Snowdon admitted it was the row, to which Martin added: “It wasn’t an argument, Danny got a bit upset and I wasn’t trying to upset him, I was just suggesting sensitivity.”

As Larry asked Martin if he was always like that after losing something, he responded: "No, I don’t care if we lose, I feel responsible for the team morale but also that the other team upset my team by being insensitive.”
Meanwhile, speaking in the Bush Telegraph, Joel said: “Martin is captain passive aggressive, you can see he’s angry about stuff but he has this smiley head about it and it feels condescending.”

Taking himself away to sort the issue at hand, Martin cornered Scarlett at the dunny and asked if she was OK.
“Not really, I hate awkwardness,” she replied.
“I just thought that he was being insensitive, just remember how you were after the trial,” Martin insisted.

“I was angry with myself that I’d lost.” Scarlett added, as Martin replied: “It came over you were upset.”
“Well then if I was upset with Adam or Danny, I’d have said, you don’t need to speak on my behalf.” Scarlett explained, threatening another awkward row.

Martin attempted to explain: “If you’re a team leader, you take on people’s feelings, I was only going on what people were feeling.”
Later in the Bush Telegraph, Martin said: “Scarlett was one of the ones who was most upset, she’s forgot that pretty quickly. I feel like it’s turned round on me and backfired, I was suddenly seen to be someone who was causing a fracas.”

Back in the main camp, Joel also wanted to sit on Larry’s lap to cheer himself up so he did.
“I don’t like listening to people argue” Joel said to Larry. “It’s all very dull dear.” Larry agreed.
Commenting on the new seat, Joel said: “Why have we not been doing this all the time, this is great.”
Lisa smiled: “Larry’s lap.”
