The reality star, 40, opened up to Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley after she asked him about Ozzy on Monday.
He later snapped at model Kelly, 45, by telling her she was cutting potatoes wrong.
Kelly got emotional as she apologised to Jack — who relinquished his duties as camp chef after the spat.
There were welfare concerns for Jack after This Morning host Alison Hammond and comedian Leigh Francis said they fear he has gone on the show too soon after the Black Sabbath rocker’s death.

A camp insider told The Sun: “Jack has looked dejected at times and clearly has a lot on his mind.
“Bosses are monitoring his situation intensely.
“ITV has strong duty of care procedures in place and producers do their utmost to ensure campmates are OK 24/7 — but never more so than in situations like this.”
Black Sabbath legend Ozzy died of a heart attack aged 76 in July, just two weeks after his final concert at Birmingham’s Villa Park.

Jack delegated his chef duties to ex-Lioness Alex Scott and actress Shona McGarty after his run-in with Kelly, causing further friction — with some viewers claiming he is “controlling”.
Speaking about Jack on I’m A Celeb’s ITV2 spin-off show Unpacked, Alison, 50, said: “He struggles. Even when he sees other people cooking, he’s like, ‘I want to get involved’.
“If you’re gonna step back, step back. I think he should just chill for a bit.
“I actually feel it’s too soon for him to be in the jungle.”
Host Joel Dommett asked if that was in relation to Ozzy, to which Alison replied: “Yeah, I think maybe he should’ve waited a bit.
“I found it quite painful seeing his pain on camera.”
Joel suggested Jack’s outburst may be because he is grieving his dad.
Leigh, 52, added: “There’s so much sadness in his face. I think it’s too soon.
“He’s gonna get angry at things because his emotions are all over the place.”

He added: “I know he’s come in here to sort of keep his mind occupied and busy and get through the grief, but I think it’s still there.
“I don’t think he’s controlling. I think he’s trying to lead.”
