I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! 2019 campmate Myles Stephenson has found himself in a Twitter spat with Ellie Goulding's mum over tweets she published about him.

The 28-year-old has accused the singer's parent of being racist towards him.

The row first started when Tracey Goulding tweeted, "Didn't notice it so much on jungle but what's with #myles #gmb trying to sound like a black dude??"

The Rak-Su singer was then made aware of the tweet, hitting back, "Please tell me what a 'black dude' sounds like Trace?

"I'll be sure to tell my 'black' side of my family that I sound like them! They'll be happy! 2020 and racism already starting 😤."

And he didn't just stop there, he then tweeted, "Say anything you want about my presenting ability but I will not tolerate racism one bit!

"Especially when I'm just trying to brighten peoples day & ESPECIALLY when your saying that me & my ethnic background sound a certain way! You should be ashamed! #FRacistPeople."
