While Tziporah Malkah is cut-off from the real world in the South African jungle, her publicists have taken control of her social media accounts. 

And the 43-year-old's Instagram was used to mock fellow I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Ash Pollard as she tearfully confronted the Viper Room tucker trial, in Wednesday night's show.

A photo of Tziporah, formerly known as Kate Fischer, comforting the ex-My Kitchen Rules star appeared on her account on Wednesday beside an amusing caption that suggested she was concerned about her nails.

While the cat's away: Tziporah Malkah's Instagram was used to mock fellow I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Ash Pollard on Wednesday, as she tearfully confronted a tucker trial

The post read: 'When the jungle totally trashes your cuticles.' 

In the photo, both women were looking at Ash's outstretched hand as though she were checking the state of her fingernails.

Controversial celebrity agent Max Markson represents Tziporah, and according to her Instagram bio, publicist Milo Elder has been posting on behalf of the former model.   

The moment in question sees Ash breaking down as she prepares to undertake the 'Viper Room' challenge on the reality show, alongside Tziporah.

Terrified: Ash broke down in tears, and crew members rushed in to calm her, as she prepared for the infamous 'Viper Room' challenge, which will screen on Wednesday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity

Crew members had to rush in to stop Ash from hyperventilating as the challenge was outlined and safety precautions were detailed.  

The trial requires Ash and Tziporah to enter a small underground chamber, and lie in complete darkness as 100 snakes are unleashed into the confined space to slither around.

'Are you okay, Ash?' the show's host Dr Chris Brown asked.

'No,' the star replied as she wiped away tears from her eyes. 'I'm just trying to keep it together.' 

Not okay: Ash responded 'no' when asked if she was okay, as she broke down in tears as the terrifying challenge was outlined

Crew called in: Crew had to prevent Ash from hyperventilating as she panicked before the start of the task 

According to The Daily Telegraph, I'm A Celebrity producers have slightly revamped the challenge, adding water to make it 'bigger, better and scarier than ever before'.

Water will slowly fill around Tziporah and Ash for 12 terrifying minutes.

The longer the pair last inside the chamber, the more meals they will earn for their fellow contestants.

Twelve minutes of terror: Laurina Fleure managed to last the entire time in the snake-filled chamber 

Snakes released into the coffin-like chamber include red-tailed boa constrictors, Burmese pythons and carpet pythons.

Last year, model Laurina Fleure - who rose to fame on The Bachelor - survived the entire 12 minutes, as she endured the challenge solo.

However, she was confronted with just 45 snakes, and no running water.

Jungle allies: Tziporah has kept close with shock jock Steve Price, after Tuesday night's episode saw her clash with Ash over kosher meals, before a disagreement with Nazeem and Tom

The new 'Viper Room' challenge will no doubt make for explosive television with Ash and Tziporah, who clashed on Tuesday night's episode of the show over the cooking of kosher meals.

Ash, who prides herself on her culinary skills, was tasked with cooking kosher for Tziporah - who is an Orthodox Jew.

However, when Tziporah complained that Ash would give her 'cold greasy meat' rather than something palatable, Ash stormed off and told the camera: 'We're not in a bloody 6-star restaurant. She should put a bra on too.'
