I'm A Celebrity axe second contestant as divisive campmate goes home in twist
Nella Rose has become the second contestant to be axed from the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
The YouTube star, 26, frustrated fans with her arguments in camp and managed the lowest number of votes in the latest poll and therefore had to leave camp after 17 days.
Hearing the news, she said: "Ohhhh! Oh my god, oh my god thank you guys so much" and hugged her campmates. Tony Bellew told her: "You are a winner, you've done amazing."
Nella Rose then spoke to Ant and Dec before exiting the jungle for good. Asked why she did the show, Nella Rose said: "To face my fears, which I did crying and running away from them some of the time! It was way scarier than I thought. I thought chucking me in there with a bunch of spiders would be fine but it wasn't."
She had various rows and disagreements in camp with Fred and Nigel and she said: "Oh my god, you used everything. I am not usually put in situations where people don't have opinions in the same walk of life. So when they have different mindsets, and I hear them, I'm shocked because I'm not used to hearing people think like this. So automatically, you have to say something about it because what they've said to me it's kind of shocking sometimes. But it is what it is."

Being in that jungle 24/7 when you see the drama aspects of it, It's like your evening news that is your entertainment. So I'm thinking shall we have a peaceful camp or shall we have some drama."
On what she has learned about herself, Nella said: "I learned my cravings are not that deep, like I need chocolate, they can be suppressed. I learned I could live with other people and that my fears are bigger in my head."
On who should win, she said: "I think Sam should be king of the jungle, he has wanted to do this since he was a kid. Every day it's like it's a new game."
Her exit came just 24 hours after viewers had seen her do her eighth Bushtucker trial Fright At The Museum which was a huge success, but she was regularly chosen by the public to do trials after she was seen complaining about them earlier in the series.
After winning her nine stars,she ended her jungle journey on a high and she said: "Normally when I get scared, I tend to run away. This time. I stuck through with it. I'm super proud of myself." But her main problem in camp seemed to be clashing with others and becoming upset by comments made by her campmates.
In the third show of the series, she famously clashed with Fred Sirieix and told him "I accept your apology but let’s not be friends." The row seemed to start from a fairly innocuous comment by Fred about his age saying he "could be her dad" but Nella was offended by as they had previously discussed her parents had died.
Nella told him: "You know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead. You know that, right? I’ve come to find out that every time I wanna get creative around the fire, or I want to have something my way, my own food that I am entitled to, my way, you tend to get an attitude, right? To me, I don’t care how you said it to me, it’s disrespectful and I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to be around you."
The pair eventually made up but it was one of a series of rows Nella had in camp, and she clashed with Nigel Farage several times over immigration and cultural appropriation. These rows seem to encourage viewers to put her up for Bushtucker trials.
In episode four, she said she wanted to quit the show, and insisted if Jamie Lynn had quit earlier that day she would have followed her. Nella told Grace Dent at the time she doesn’t follow through with things and she had struggled with focus in life after the death of her father. She explained: "I’ve never, ever in my life started something and finished it. Ever. I always quit, or I always sign on short term or if I don’t like it I can leave… this is the one thing I said I’m going to try and stick it through but I can already see myself... if I get in my head too much."
Grace asked: "Do you bolt, you run the minute things start to pick up?" but then Nella added: "When I was younger I was put in a lot of situations that I had no control over. I was sad and miserable. So now that I have the control over my happiness and the things I want to do I think I’m kind of, I’ve become obsessed with it: 'Oh, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.'"
Richard 'shuts up' GMB guest who says Hancock 'deserved' being called 'd***head'Nella then admitted: "If Jamie left yesterday I would have been right behind her… I’m leaving. I just don’t want to be the first." She threatened to walk several more times and rumours suggested bosses spoke to her in the bush telegraph to calm her and stop her leaving. Now she has left via the conventional route of eviction.
It could also be an interesting time to be at the hotel where the contestants and friends and families stay on the Gold Coast. Nella will soon discover that Farage's girlfriend Laure Ferrari dubbed her "a snowflake".
Frankie Dettori became the first celebrity to leave the jungle yesterday, after the evictions were pushed back when Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears quit the camp on medical grounds earlier in the series. In his first in-depth interview since leaving camp, Frankie blamed the show's editing for his early exit, but insisted he had no regrets.
Referring to entering the show on Day 5 as a latecomer, he said: "Everybody had already bonded for four days. So I'm, you know, the new kid who arrived in a new school afterwards. It took a while to break the ice and be accepted to get to know everyone, I'm not going to lie about it. I have to go round one by one and really, you know, apart from Nigel, I never met anyone.
"So that was a slow process. And you don't see what is edited on TV. And speaking to my wife, she said, you know, I had very little airtime and I thought I had done a lot. It all depends how it is edited to the programme. But you know what? To me I have come out of there as a winner. I challenged myself. I passed every challenge. And, I like to say it could have been two weeks or three weeks, it wouldn't have made no difference. I just felt like I did everything I wanted to achieve and I'm very proud of what I did."
He added: "Going to the jungle it's not a race when you are actually in control. It's the public in control. It's the media, it's the social media. I mean, I feel like a winner because every challenge I took, I did it and I took it head on I never ducked out to anything."
