“You should let the random work.”

Naughty Boy replied: “I think personally you want to do the trial but you didn’t want to say it. My intention of saying that you should do it was based on your first trial which I was there.

“I could see you enjoy it.”

However, David hit back: “I would never, never point at someone and say, ‘well you should do it.’

“I don’t care.”

Danny Miller defended David and said in the Telegraph: “He’s just a very proud man, David.

“I think it’s just knowing how to speak to him. When’s the right time to say and when’s not the right time to say it.”

Naughty Boy told David around the campfire: “There was no need for you to say to me who do I think I am.

“I’m just not allowing this to simmer. There was no need for him to say that. He made me feel a certain way by saying that.

“I’m not just going to sit here and not say how I feel.”

David then walked off and said in the Telegraph: “It’s very simple, nobody point at me and say, ‘You should do that.’ I decide for myself, that’s it, simple as that. I am still David Ginola, it’s me, it’s about me, it’s about what I am, and nobody is saying to me what I should do, OK? I think it’s going to be a long week.”

The pair later hugged it out and cleared the air.
