NOEL Edmonds might have lasted just nine days in the I'm a Celebrity jungle, but it gave him plenty of time to rack up some catty comments against Holly Willoughby.

Last night, The Sun exclusively revealed how a feud between Noel and Holly has been simmering on the ITV reality show after a show source said the host had become fed up with Noel's "chippy" attitude.

Viewers had also picked up on Noel's apparent attitude towards Holly during Bushtucker Trials.

Mind games

On November 24, he clashed with Holly as he tackled a bug-eating trial alongside footie legend Harry Redknapp, 71.

Holly tried to encourage Noel, 69, by telling him: “Clear your mind.”

But Noel snapped: “Clear your mind? How dare you!”

Moments later she asked him: “What did that feel like in your mouth?”

He replied: “What do you think?”

Star wars

The next day, Noel was seen competing in the Catch a Falling star trial with DIY expert Nick Knowles, 56.

Holly used the word “we” to talk about the task, which appeared to annoy Noel, who was suspended on high wires in a bug-filled box.

He said: “I like the use of the word ‘we’, Holly.

"I don’t think you’re up here with us!”

Frosty Friday

The frostiness continued until the end of Noel’s stint on the show, when he was voted out by viewers on ­Friday.

As he left, he gave Holly’s co-host Declan Donnelly a warm, lingering hug while greeting her only briefly.

Cheat meal

And just hours earlier, Holly had appeared to struggle to hide her feelings towards him during his final trial.

Noel had spilt most of the vile concoctions he was meant to swallow down his front and was disqualified in the drinking-challenge task.

He said to Holly and Dec: “You have just branded me a serial cheat.”

But Holly fired back: “You might have done that yourself.”
