What happened to Nella's parents - I'm A Celeb star's tragedy as she lashes out
I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here's Nella Rose suffered heartbreaking tragedy when she lost both her parents.
The YouTuber, 26, opened up about being orphaned to Fred Sirieix in camp when she told him both her mum and dad had sadly died. However, after Fred later told the influencer he 'could be her father' after revealing he was 51, Nella was fuming, warning the Frenchman to 'stay away from her', adding she only lets people 'disrespect her once'.
Tragically, Nella's mum Eseho Omolongo and dad Kamango Paul Hollela both died within the space of four years. The upfront star, who was born in Belgium and watched videos of I'm A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec as a child to develop her British accent, told her TikTok followers she was still resilient despite her loss. She said: "When you're an immigrant, have been homeless, lost both parents, family have disowned you, constantly body shamed but God continues to bless you."

Speaking on her popular channel, she said: "Literally not even a month, a couple of weeks, after I turned 19 my mum passed away and it was something that you don’t expect. You don’t plan, it just happened. I didn’t wake up that day and think ‘oh my mum is going to pass away’. She literally just died in my arms."
Tragically, in 2020, Nella's dad passed away. Sharing a heartfelt tribute to her parent on social media, without going into detail about the cause of her dad's death, she said: "Rest in Peace Daddy, watching you suffer for the past month has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but at least you're not in pain anymore. Gonna make you the proudest dad ever in the years to come because I know you're still by [my] side every step of the way."

"I took offence to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad’s passed away, she said. "I didn’t say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it."
The YouTuber ignored the father-of-two over breakfast before telling her campmate she wanted to stay away from him. “You know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead," Nella told Fred after he had called her name three times, trying to get to eat something. Nella continued: "Yesterday you turned around with an attitude and said you could be my dad. To me, that's disrespectful. I don't want to be around you. I only allow people to disrespect me once."
Insisting he had meant no ill intent, Fred swore on his "childs' life" he hadn't meant to hurt Nella, but the influencer wasn't having any of it, leaving the maître d'hôtel visibly stunned.
