Nella Rose defends Fred Sirieix clash as she breaks silence on I'm A Celeb exit

Nella Rose refused to back down on her controversial clash with Fred Sirieix as she broke her silence on her exit from I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The YouTube and TikTok star slammed the First Dates legend for "bringing up her dead dad" in a clear misunderstanding only days into their experience in the jungle. Nella became the second to be evicted from camp on Monday following the initial exit of Frankie Dettori. Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent had already left on "medical grounds".

But it was during her exit interview with Ant and Dec that Nella defended her argument with Fred, maintaining she was still correct to be "offended" by his words. "I just feel like in the middle of an argument, or in the middle of a disagreement, you shouldn't bring up sensitive topics. And I feel like, in the middle of a disagreement, he brought up a sensitive topic. I didn't understand why he would do that," Nella explained.

Nella previously spoke about her father passing away in 2020, while she also sadly lost her mother when she was aged 19. Nella claimed Fred was aware of her family tragedy and that a comment he made to her in camp left her upset. The pair launched into a row as Nella told Fred: "I don't want to eat your food, I don't want to talk to you. We can just live, you live on that side, I live on this side." She also called him a "weirdo".

It comes as Nella sensationally snubbed her first live TV daytime interview on Tuesday. Despite the contestants always or mostly featuring in ITV interviews after their eliminations, Lorraine Kelly confirmed Nella had snubbed her live chat on her show this morning. Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Lorraine claimed Nella was "not talking to anybody this morning" after her departure from the jungle, calling it "a shame".

She added later in the show: "She was gonna join us this morning but she’s decided not to give any interviews today, but we may catch up with her later." Yesterday, she arrived alone after not being greeted by anyone at the end of the bridge following her eviction. But, Nella was all smiles as she arrived at the 5-star Marriott hotel in Surfer's Paradise, where she received a huge hug from Frankie Dettori and met with her loved ones.

After leaving the jungle, Nella declined to speak to the press, but an ITV spokesman explained: "We'd like to get Nella to have some time to relax and get a good night's sleep before deciding what press to do." I'm A Celebrity viewers will be pleased to learn Nella was greeted by friends and famly after they noticed she wasn't met with a loved one at the end of the bridge following her eviction.

One fan wrote on X, formerly twitter: "It was so sad no one was at the bridge waiting for Nella." A second added: "No-one there to greet #Nella at the end of the bridge. I get she's not everyone's fan, but I hope she has some good people around her all the same. We all need that in life."

Nella was eliminated after Ant and Dec revealed that she had lost out to Marvin Humes, who was also in the bottom two. The YouTube star gasped and looked shocked at the news while her campmates rallied round her to offer support.
