Another called out: “It’s only a TV Choice Award!”
Jamie was bundled away by former co-star Malique Thompson-Dwyer, 21.
One observer said: “Jamie was enraged by the sarcastic dig which seemed to come out of nowhere and was completely unprovoked.
“It was a real flashpoint which left fellow cast members shocked and one or two people remarking on how it was like a scene from a soap opera. The bust up was only stopped from escalating as Malique quickly stepped in to defuse the situation and calm Jamie down.
“It was chaos. They were pushing, shoving and really getting in each other’s faces.
"They got pulled apart but then went at it again. They were both absolutely furious.
“But it was a real flashpoint which left fellow cast members shocked and one or two people remarking on how it was like a scene from a soap opera.”
