Simon Webbe
Tensions had been rising since David’s earlier comments to Nicola and Simon talked to Carly after they had escorted Nicola to the Trial. Simon said: "Since they’ve (Timmy and David) come in camp, that’s when all the vibes have started. If it was the other way around I’d say it to Nicola. It’s out of order."
"We didn’t know what Nicola was up for today so in her head she needed to know that people were on her side. It looked like it was David’s opportunity to have a slight dig."
Simon confronted David when he retuned to Camp: "Do you not like her or something?"
David agreed but said: "I would say exactly the same that she doesn’t like me. There’s obviously a problem."
Simon continued: "Everyone can have their own snide remarks because it goes back and forth but when it comes to a Trial we’re supposed to be supportive. You’re facing your fears every time because you don’t know what you’re up against. What we don’t want is ‘Thank God its not me’. Deep down you know what you’re doing and that wasn’t called for."
In the Bush Telegraph Simon said "He will turn around and say its not that I don’t like her. You’re a grown man and you know what you are doing."
David said he would confront Nicola "tomorrow maybe". But he added "I don’t dislike her, I don’t know her. I don’t know anything about her."
And in the Bush Telegraph he said: "There is this misconception that I’ve got something against her but she’s got this odd manner."
With the conversation seemingly ended Carly told David that they’d all said what they felt. But both Brian and Robert replied that they hadn’t witnessed the altercation between David and Nicola.
Simon said: "It sparked up something that didn’t need to be sparked."
