I’m A Celebrity's explosive episode mysteriously disappeared

I'm A Celebrity fans were left confused after an episode reportedly disappeared from ITVX.

The explosive episode that saw Jamie Lynn Spears threaten to quit the ITV show as well as camp tensions between Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix appeared to be unavailable for some fans. Those wishing to catch up on Tuesday night's jungle drama struggled to get up to date this morning.

Viewers noticed the episode was not available to watch online on the ITV streaming service. It is said to have been on ITVX earlier in the morning, but mysteriously disappeared around 10am. Taking to social media, one fan asked: "When is the imaceleb episode from Tuesday night going to be available?"

Another said: "@imacelebrity why is lasts night episode not available on ITVx?" Luckily for fans, the episode is now back on the ITVX site. The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment.

The explosive I'm A Celeb episode came after YouTuber Nella Rose clashed with First Dates star campmate Fred Sirieix.ITVviewers watched on as Nella confessed to feeling "disrespected" and "offended" with comments Fred unwittingly made to her regarding some heartbreaking family losses.

Nella has previously spoken about her father passing away in 2020, while she also sadly lost her mother when she was just 19-years-old. In the disagreement, Nella claimed Fred was aware of her family tragedy so a comment he made to her in camp left her upset. Explaining what had happened, Nella told the Bush Telegraph: "Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad.

"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. I didn’t say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it. So I slept on it and I kind of thought about it and I was just like, this is not the kind of person I want to be around."

Her comments sparked huge social media debate as viewers were divided. Some rushed to Nella's defence and reminded others that the young star is still dealing with the grief of losing both her parents at such a young age. However, others thought she had gone too far with her remarks to Fred.

Nella has received support from Janet Street Porter, who said on Loose Women : "But he was a weirdo to her. In her defence, I found Fred incredibly patronising. He's not serving food in a restaurant now, he's not dealing with difficult customers. I can see that what he said to her could offend her, and also looking at her back story, her parents came from the Congo and went to Belgium. Her parents both died within a few months of each other."

Jane then chimed in: "But that's not Fred's fault," whilst Janet went on to add: "It's not Fred's fault and he will not be aware of it - but that would inform how she reacts to him. And also, I would hate to see - as a result of this - she gets voted out of the camp. To me, to make the show work, we need people like her. I'm not saying that in a patronising way. I think she has a voice that other people don't have, but I think Fred is more of the same frankly."

Love Islander Indiyah Polack, who is friends with Nella, told ITV's Lorraine: "I don't think Fred had any malicious intent but none of us are Nella, we're not in a sweaty jungle... getting bitten by green ants and eating rice and beans. I feel like in that environment it's very easy for things to be blown out or taken the wrong way. I do hope they can get over it...they'll talk about it, maybe have couple of days rest and they'll be back.

"The whole situation can be taken with a grain of salt, a pinch of salt. But even with that, with all of us knowing that Nella's dad has passed away, maybe it was something Fred could have thought about, maybe this could be taken out of proportion. You just never know."

Former I'm A Celebrity champion Tony Blackburn has come to the defence of Fred saying he thought the argument was "stupid" and he believes the maitre d' is a "kind man." He wrote on Twitter : "What a stupid argument last night between Nella and Fred. He said he was old enough to be her father. I know sadly she has recently lost her father but surely hasn't she ever heard of the expression 'I'm old enough to be your father' He didn't mean any harm, he seems a very kind man."
