Jake Quickenden's preoccupation with the women of the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! jungle would have been going into overdrive if he caught a glimpse of Nadia Forde and Melanie Sykes cooling off on Sunday.

The brunette beauties enjoyed a bikini-off while having fun splashing around in the Australian waters, trying to pick up the spirits of a hard day in camp.

Mel, 44, and 25-year-old Nadia got playful as they enjoyed a refreshing dip as they kept themselves (and their campmates) entertained in the jungle.

Stunning: Nadia Forde clutches at her chest as she takes a chilly dip in the river on Sunday alongside pal Melanie Sykes

The I'm A Celeb stars could have been posing for their own calendar shoot as they showed off their trim physiques while taking a trip to the river.

It's no surprise that Nadia, an Irish model, has become the object of Jake's affections alongside Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson and yummy mummy Mel.

Nadia, sporting her favourite teeny green bikini, was swishing her chocolate locks about in a seductive fashion, while friend Mel submerged her ample chest in a simple black two piece.

Nadia was sporting her tie-up bandeau swimwear on Friday while taking a shower under the running water.

It was a brighter look for Melanie earlier on Sunday though when the mum of one stepped out in a patterned string bikini.

The pair were clearly not letting the jungle tribe divide come between them as they larked about in the water pulling faces and giggling.

Mel was no doubt trying to brush off her negative energies after suffering one of her worst days in jungle camp on Sunday.

Sticking together: The pair were clearly not letting the jungle tribe divide come between them as they larked about playfully in the water.

As part of the Wombats tribe, Mel had gone without a luxury dinner that Nadia and the Galahs had enjoyed twice now, after her teammates lost two successive Bushtucker Trials and were faced with yet more beans and rice.

The strain of starvation was starting to show in Mel's already refined physique when her cheekbones and face shape began to look more defined.

Both Nadia and Mel overcame their fear of claustrophobia when they triumphed in Sunday night's Terror Tombs challenge on behalf of oposing tribes.
