On last night’s instalment of the ITV show, David, 45, brought back a slip of paper detailing the day’s trial.

He said: “Please choose two campmates to take on the Retching Bull.”

Gemma immediately jumped in and volunteered Mo Farah and David take on the trial.

David replied: “You chucked us right in there, in the deep end.”

Sternly looking over at boxer David, she said: “No you said today that you wanted to do something.”

David accepted Gemma’s challenge but Mo wasn’t quite feeling up to.

She then asked former Corrie star Craig Charles and he hesitantly agreed.

In the clip, Gemma told the group: “We all need to eat tonight,” as David interrupted and appeared to take a swipe by saying: “You need to eat tonight.”

She then said: “You know what I’m like without food.”

David then said: “Where were you last night and where was I last night? What did I eat last night?”

The boxer was referencing the Rhinos big win as they spent the evening on a safari trip followed by a slap-up meal.

The Rhinos have been competing with the Lions in this week’s challenge, where they had a series of tasks to win the ultimate feast.

Gemma replied: “You know what, sometimes eating a bit of humble pie makes us stronger and better as people.”

David replied: “It does.”

Gemma added: “I know you’re going to bring it back today.”

The moment has gone viral online, with one furious viewer writing: “Can someone people tell me how they have let this David wasteman fatshame our Gemma AGAIN??!”

A second said: “Is David fat shaming Gemma AGAIN!!”

The boxing legend left fans raging last week when he “denied” Towie star Gemma Collins, 45, a drink of water.

And, before their fiery exchange over the trial David made a suggestive remark over Gemma’s weight.

While Craig was chatting to Gemma he exclaimed: “That’s a lot of hair you’ve got now.”

Gemma replied: “I’ve got very thick hair, haven’t I?”

David then made his suggestive comment, saying: “It definitely ain’t thin.”

Later on in the Bush Telegraph, she told the camera: “You know what? I’m not always used to people dealing with me in an abrupt manner.”

Gemma is not completely innocent in their bitter feud with the reality star as she mocked his “throuple” relationship.
