I'm A Celebrity 2023 star who won't be staying in touch with campmates

Despite insisting that her heated exchange with fellow campmate Fred Sirieix was a complete "misunderstanding" and they had since resolved their issues, it seems Nella Rose was slightly optimistic.

On his exit, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here's Nella, 26, rushed to greet the First Dates star, but their embrace was merely civil - leaving body language expert Judi James to question the validity of Nella's claims. Judi claims that Fred made it clear he has no intention of remaining friends with the YouTube star by subtle gestures. The expert said: "Nella was the first up to hug Fred when he came out of the jungle to meet the 'friends and family' group at the hotel."

She added: "She sounded worried about coming across badly on the show and seemed to be hugging her way out of potential trouble." Judi added to The Sun: "Fred asked, ‘Are you ok?’ and got a weak ‘Yeah’ in reply, and their hearty hug looked equally weak in terms of the subtler details as he patted her in a ‘break’ signal almost straight away, and the fingertips of her hands as they hugged looked lifted away from his back."

She continued: "As a conciliatory make-up gesture, it showed Nella was keen to emphasise her obvious sweet, fun side, but the subtler details of this hug suggested the pair might not quite make ‘friends for life’." But Nella is not the only one who was shunned by stars of the ITV show, so too was former UKIP leader Nigel Farage.

Even though both he and Nella had locked horns in the Australian jungle, she was one of a couple of people who stepped forward to greet him as he arrived at the Brisbane hotel, after coming third place. According to Judi, Nigel received a "distinctly frosty reception."

Body language expert has analysed the reunion of the campmates

She explained to The Sun : "Only two appeared to rush to greet him while the others ignored him in the background, with Fred looking spectacularly grim-faced. Danielle loved everyone and came up for a hug, with Nella smiling behind her to be the next in line." Judi also analysed the reunion between Fred and Josie after the 51 year old rubbed the presenter up the wrong way when she took over the duty of cooking for the camp.

Judi said: "Cracks started to show in what should have been a fond, teary-eyed, campmates reunion as soon as Fred and Josie showed they’d be bringing their gripes about each other’s cooking back to the luxury hotelalong with their smelly socks." She went on to say: "There was no sense of context or perspective kicking in, and the bitterness still looked and sounded raw as Fred ranted about Josie’s culinary ineptitude and Josie crowed that ‘They preferred my food’."

When Josie, who was the fourth person to leave camp arrived back at the hotel, Fred seemed to "lunge in awkwardly to dominate her time." She added: "Josie already had her arm around Danielle’s waist to lean in for a hug, but Fred wound his arm around Josie’s neck in a control gesture, making Danielle lean back to get out of the way. The result was a very awkward throuple hug, with Josie facing Danielle and keeping an arm around her waist while Fred commandeered her, to try to plant a conciliatory cheek kiss."
