Paul Daniels has stormed out of The Farm following a furious bust-up with Vanilla Ice.

He lasted less than 72 hours on the Channel Five reality show but failed to persuade wife Debbie McGee to follow him.

Daniels rowed with former rap star Ice in a discussion about the Iraq war, reports Media Guardian.

Channel Five bosses are now considering whether to send in a replacement.

A Five spokesman said: "Vanilla is very pro-American and in your face, and Paul took exception to him. The pair of them squared up and Paul wagged his finger in his face.

"Paul slept on it last night but, when he woke up this morning and discovered there was no wood in the Aga, he decided enough was enough.

"He had a heart-to-heart with Debbie and asked her to leave as well but she is enjoying life on the farm so much she told him she wanted to stay."

The argument began when Stan Collymore and Margi Clarke discussed whether negotiation should be used to free British hostage Ken Bigley.

Vanilla Ice said he was "sickened" by the idea.

"All Britain cares about is publicity. That's why you're going to negotiate with those weak-ass terrorists. You can't negotiate, that means they've won. We are the protectors, the superpower, and we will win!"
