Producers fear Lady Colin Campbell may quit 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here'.
The showrunners behind the ITV programme are reportedly worried the 66-year-old writer and socialite may leave the jungle after she slammed the viewers who voted her to take part in the Bushtucker trial 'Panic Pit'.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Show bosses desperately fear Lady Colin is growing tired of being nominated and could throw in the towel. She's quickly emerged as one of the best characters of recent years. She's already proved she's worth her weight in gold as everybody's talking about her.
"But she doesn't suffer fools gladly and as soon as she thinks she's being made to look like a fool, she'll consider her place in the jungle very carefully. She's really divided opinion. They're trying everything to keep her in the jungle."
The celebrities have only been on screen for three episodes and yet, viewers have already seen Lady C turn down a challenge to win Dingo dollars for camp.
When the reward was not revealed to her before the beginning of the challenge, she said: "There is nothing in this world that would induce me to participate in something that is a complete injustice, I'm going back to camp."

Simon Cowell talked Louis Walsh out of appearing on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!'
The former 'X Factor' judge was rumoured to be set to take part in the current series of the reality show and he's now confessed he was planning to until his old boss convinced him not to.
He explained: "I was supposed to be doing it. I met them three times, I was nearly going... Simon told me he didn't think it would be good for my credibility. He actually talked me out of it. Otherwise I was going to do it."
However, while the 'X Factor' boss got his own way this year, Louis has claimed he might sign up next year instead.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I might do 'I'm A Celebrity' next year. I'm going to keep the door open. It depends who you're in with, but then they don't tell you who you're going to be in with.
"And you're in Australia for three weeks, no food, no sleep, people you don't like. I can't swim. I don't like bugs, I don't like spiders, I'd be totally out of my comfort zone. Totally!
"But then 'X Factor's a bit of a jungle too. It's a three month jungle as opposed to three weeks."

Jorgie Porter quit her 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' trial over fears cockroaches were "in [her] bum".
The 'Hollyoaks' star was taking part in the Ghost Train challenge to win a hot meal for her campmate Susannah Constantine when having thousands of cockroaches dropped onto her became too much.
She said after the challenge: "The thing I'm really scared about is when insects try and climb inside your holes. And that was happening and it freaked me out. I'd rather step out of the carriage than poop a cockroach out my bum hole.
"I'm absolutely gutted I didn't win a meal for Susannah because I thought I could do everything and I couldn't."
Yvette Fielding also quit after the first round, screaming, "This is awful. Please don't do this," as she went into the tunnel.
The older campmates also took part in a fair-themed challenge to win meals for the younger celebrities. In Scare Fair, they were asked to throw balls into the mouths of clowns whilst they were covered in gunk and jungle critters.
Lady Colin Campbell and Duncan Bannatyne failed to win hot meals for Yvette Fielding and Kieron Dyer.
Elsewhere in last night's episode (18.11.15), new campmates Spencer Matthews, Ferne McCann and Vicky Pattison made their way into the jungle where they struggled to light their first fire.
'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' continues tonight (19.11.15).

George Shelley narrowly avoided being attacked by a shark when he was just 10 years old.
The Union J hunk - who is currently living in the jungle on 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' - is well prepared for the show because he spent a month living in Costa Rica with his mum and two brothers when he was just a young boy.
George's mum Toni shared: "We have always been a family which has enjoyed being close to nature. I thought it would be a great experience to give the children.
"We went snorkelling and kayaking one day near Hammer Shark Island. We didn't realise it was breeding season and then I saw a shark's fin in the water.
"It only then struck me that I was taking my babies swimming near the sharks."
However, it's not just sharks the 22-year-old star has experience with.
Toni told the Bristol Post newspaper: "There were jaguars prowling in the gardens as well as boa constrictor snakes and howler monkeys.
"We had an African bee nest at the back of the hut and I kept having to tell the children to check their shoes and beds for tarantulas.
"We were walking around in flip flops and having to keep an eye out for scorpions on the ground."

Piers Morgan thinks it is "ridiculous" that Susanna Reid has been "accused" of flirting on 'Good Morning Britain'.
The 50-year-old star - who is to begin his presenting role on the ITV show on Monday (23.11.15) - believes it can be difficult for his co-presenter when she's constantly slated for being a "silly woman flirting" with the stars she interviews.
He said: "A bit of flirting of a morning on TV is good - it's important to have some light and shade. But whereas I can happily flirt with a guest and it'll be a case of 'cheeky ol' Piers', it is used as a stick with which to beat Susanna.
"It completely demeans and diminishes her role to that of a silly woman flirting with David Beckham whereas the reality is she is a very accomplished broadcaster having a bit of fun with a national treasure.
"I watched her covering the Paris tragedy and she was as good, if not better than, anyone else I have seen covering it. So the ridiculous accusations of flirting are incredibly sexist."
And Piers believes his appointment will help the show improve their ratings against rival BBC Breakfast, which has almost three times the viewers.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "Since the unfortunate demise of Jose Mourinho, there is now a vacancy for a new 'Special One' in Britain which I intend to fill. The ratings are on the up now, and although my slightly ebullient style might not be for everybody, Susanna and I do make a good team. She's the good cop to my bad cop.
"The other advantage I've got is I've interviewed some of the biggest stars in the world. So when the Americans come over - whether it's Oprah Winfrey or George Clooney or Morgan Freeman, if they're in town I've got a reasonable shot of getting them on the show."

Sam Curry wants to see Vana Koutsomitis win 'The Apprentice'.
The 23-year-old private tutor was sent home by Lord Alan Sugar in last night's (18.11.15) episode of the show and he's now revealed he'd like to see social media entrepreneur Vana win the business competition and the £250,000 investment.
He exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "Vana hands down. She's just an amazing person. She's phenomenally intelligent. She's got an MBA from Oxford, she's got an undergrad from Columbia, I think. She speaks five languages. She has this amazing knack where she will see someone and then five weeks later she'll be like, 'Oh James, how's the child?' and, 'How's the back pain?' and you're like, 'How the hell did you remember this after one conversation?' She's just great. I just love her. She has so much integrity. She's very approachable. She's just a lovely person. I admire her so much."
Sam added that although he fell out with his project manager in the last task, Scott Saunders, there's no one he wouldn't want to see make it to the end of the process.
He explained: "Everyone fought for their place on that show. Everyone in that show is credible. The thing I will say is everyone is on there for their specific business and you can say who is and isn't credible but ultimately you have to remember everyone who is there is there for their specific business. In each of their industries everyone is an expert."
'The Apprentice' continues next Wednesday November 25 at 9pm on BBC One.

Simon Cowell gave his 'X Factor' judges a "serious" pep talk - while Rita Ora was dressed as a banana.
The music mogul called his fellow panellists to his dressing room to discuss the programme after the Halloween episode, and the mood of their intense discussions was lightened by the 'R.I.P.' hitmaker's fancy dress outfit.
Judge Nick Grimshaw recalled: "We went in his dressing room after the show. It was Halloween and we were all going out afterwards. No one had a costume except Rita, who was going as Bananas in Pyjamas.
"We went in there and it was really funny for a minute, but then Simon was talking really seriously about moving forward with the show. And Rita was standing there dressed as a banana, nodding, trying to be really serious."
Despite apparent concern over falling ratings, Nick insists nothing has been discussed with him about it.
He said: "Simon deals with that with the boss people. I think we just concentrate on the show and making it fun. It genuinely is so much fun. It's a riot."
The BBC Radio 1 DJ is having a particularly good time on the judging panel now it has moved to the live finals stage.
He told heat magazine: "I love doing live - I do it every day on the radio. I love it more than auditions - they're such a long day and you do get distracted.
"I like the added pressure of it being live and knowing we only have a certain amount of time."

Ferne McCann wants to show the "real" her on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!'.
The 'Only Way is Essex' star was dropped in to the Australian jungle last night (18.11.15) and is hoping she'll be able to express herself honestly on the show because she feels she's often "misrepresented" on 'TOWIE'.
She said: "In the jungle, you're not playing up to a part like you are on 'TOWIE' so I'd like people to see the real me.
"I'm funny and I'm always up for a craic, plus I'm not a bitch, so I want people to see that.
"I feel like I'm quite misrepresented on 'TOWIE'."
And despite often getting "dragged into the drama" on the reality TV programme, she insists fans will see her be very "laid back" in camp and not prone to arguments.
She told OK! magazine: "If I needed to, I would [stand up for myself]. I'm not one to hold my tongue, but I'm also very laid back. I'd rather have a discussion and resolve things like that than do it in an argumentative way.
"I think I get dragged into the drama on 'TOWIE' because sometimes my opinions can be too much."

Steven Moffat wants to bring the Sea Devils back to 'Doctor Who'.
Since taking control of the BBC sci-fi show in 2009 the executive producer has allowed a number of monsters from the classic series to return to TV screens, including shape-shifting Zygons and war warmongering Ice Warriors.
Moffat now wants to come up with a story that would see Peter Capaldi as the titular Time Lord come face-to-face with the ocean-dwelling creatures, who were first seen battling Third Doctor Jon Pertwee in 1972.
He said: "The classic monster I always look at bringing back are the Sea Devils, the design of them is amazing, they are beautiful and bizarre. I haven't thought of anything to do with them yet. But I think they're quite extraordinary in their conception."
Moffat always thinks about bringing back his favourite foes of the Doctor and has hinted he has plans for some ancient aliens to make appearances in Series 10 next year.
He added: "I have a very long list of monsters to bring back , you know. As well as the Sea Devils I do have a couple of others in my mind, but I might be doing those so I'm not telling you what they are!"
The Sea Devils are an underwater race related to the Silurians, a reptile species of humanoids.
They were last seen in 'Doctor Who' in 1984 serial 'Warriors of the Deep' battling Fifth Doctor Peter Davison along with their reptilian cousins.
'Doctor Who' will next be seen on BBC One this Saturday (21.11.15) with the episode 'Face the Raven'.
