The fight comes after a series of run-ins between the pair, which have seen Austin deride James and bully the other contestants.

This time, it started in the bedroom - with Austin asking Jame so take his side over yet another fight with Janice Dickinson during the latest task. Scoring back-up from Jenna Jameson, he ganged-up on The Apprentice star -  causing James to leave the room and denounce their friendship.

'I don't know if I want to be friends with you when you carry on like this,' he told the former plaything of Marc Jacobs. I'm going because you are not turning on me again.

'I understand you are sad and you are frustrated, but I am there for you as a friend -but what I don’t accept is sometimes how you speak to Janice.'

After James walks out the bedroom, Jenna - in typical back-stabbing style - tells Austin: ‘You have to understand that he is playing a game. That whole we don’t really know each other spiel is coming into play.’  

Moments later, as Austin approaches the Diary Room, James calls him over and says he wants to talk.

'There are some things I want to get off my chest,' he starts. 'I am a very straight forward person right. I am honest, I am straight and I am fair - and I do my best to show respect to everybody, but the one thing that I don’t think you give back to me is respect.

Telling it like it is: 'I don't know if I want to be friends with you when you carry on like this,' he told the former plaything of Marc Jacobs. I'm going because you are not turning on me again,' James told Austin.

'The way you treat me and speak to me sometimes isn’t fair. And, you know what, you are a fool because if anybody has your back it's me. 

'I understand how frustrated and upset you must have felt tonight,but then you came in that bedroom and took it out on me. It’s not fair.’ 

As rude as ever, Austin replies: ‘You didn’t say a word to me and this is what I don’t understand, because every time I am wrong you pull me up on it. Every time Janice is wrong you come to me and say ‘Oh Austin I understand your frustrations’, so - unless there has been a dozen conversations with Janice that I have missed...’

At that point James hits back: 'I’ve pulled her up on every time I think she’s wrong, alright! The whole problem here is you do not like the fact that I have respect for Janice and that I do not like the way you speak to her.’ 

He shouts back: ‘Because she’s a f***ing master manipulator and now she has you on her strings, you don’t get it.’ 

Clearly not impressed, James retorts: ‘I understand a lot more than you understand mate…and a real friend wouldn’t speak to me like that. I have had enough of it..You’ve got this attitude all the time. 

‘I think you will look back on this mate and realise the way you go off on people [is wrong]...you are a selfish boy deep down.’
