Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix teamed up to complete a challenge on Thursday's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! – days after she vowed not to speak to him.
The YouTuber, 26, volunteered to take part in a challenge titled Slam Dunk’d before First Dates star Fred, 51, offered to join her during the latest episode. It came days after Nella, who has lost both her parents, said she would not speak to Fred or eat the food he prepares in the jungle after he remarked he was old enough to be her father.
In the Bush Telegraph, fellow campmate Danielle Harold said: "They’ve been quiet, not talking for a couple of days. I think this will bond them even closer, for sure, I hope." The pair, representing the Home camp, competed in the head-to-head challenge against Nick Pickard and Marvin Humes – the Away camp – hours after the 10 campmates were split into two teams.
They took it in turns to dunk their opponents in an ice tank and score points, with Nella and Fred later discovering they had won the challenge by four points. The pair exchanged high fives during the competition and shared a hug at the end of the challenge.

However, viewers were left distracted as they questioned if they had "missed a scene" due to Nella suddenly being pally with Fred despite vowing to "not be friends" with the First Dates star. Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: "Have Fred and Nella had a heart to heart or did she just start talking to him ? #ImaCeleb", a different account put: "So Nella seems to have just miraculously forgot that she said 1) she’d never eat the food Fred made 2) speak to him in the camp again #ImACeleb" while another added: "When did Nella and Fred become friends #ImaCeleb #Nella?"
