Former Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse was in tears on the latest episode of I'm A Celebrity this week and she was consoled by campmate Tulisa Contostavlos.
Thursday night's episode saw the campmates divided into three teams as part of a twist. It was revealed that "daily essentials" and food will now cost them money, with the latest bushtucker trial their first opportunity to earn cash.
The celebrities are now living in a 'new-look camp,' with areas including the shower featuring turnstiles, as there's a $10 fee attached to visits. Elsewhere, there's a treat machine where they can buy extra treats for the camp.
Each team is said to be responsible for their team's money on ITV show. Alan Halsall, 42, Danny Jones, 38, and Dean McCullough, 32 - who faced the trial - founded the three teams, with the other members then selected at random.
Alan won $1100 for his blue team in the head-to-head trial, whilst Danny and Dean both won $500 for their respective teams. Oti, 34, is a member of orange team - founded by Danny - alongside Maura Higgins, 34, and GK Barry, 25.
The twist left the camp with questions in the aftermath of the trial. With the camp winning credit, rather than stars, in the trial, Danny pondered what would happen for their meal that night. He asked: "Do you think we'll have to buy it?"

She continued: "You don't have your normal support you know. You don't have your spiritual support, you don't have your emotional support, you don't have your physical … It's the mental and physical support for me. Today I was just like 'wow, okay none of my family's around'."
Other campmates however rallied around Oti to provide comfort. Tulisa, 36, consoled her by saying that they are her "jungle family". The N-Dubz member told the professional dancer in camp: "Your jungle family's here though." Tulisa said that she thought Oti was having a difficult time that day, saying she could "feel it".
An emotional Oti later further shared her thoughts whilst in the bush telegraph. She spoke about doing the show for her one-year-old daughter. Oti said: "I just have to remind myself why I'm here, I just have to push and dig deep. I'm here for my daughter and I have to be strong. It's just exhausting sometimes to be strong."
