I’m a Celeb viewers call for Nella to be thrown off show after ‘bullying’ behaviour
I’M A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! fans have called for Nella Rose to be “removed” from the jungle after her fallout with Fred Sirieix.
YouTuber Nella, 26, sparked outrage after erupting at 51-year-old Fred over a remark he had made while cooking the campmates’ dinner.
Fred had told Nella he was old enough to be her father, but she took great offence as she had previously told him her dad has passed away.
The First Dates star apologised but was perplexed about how the figure of speech related to Nella’s own dad.
Fans watching at home were equally as baffled – and some are now calling for Nella to be removed from the ITV1 show.
Sharing their thoughts on X, formerly known as Twitter, viewers even branded the influencer’s behaviour towards Fred as “bullying“.
One blasted: “Nella should be removed I just cant watch her #teamfred.”
Another added: “What the actual f***. #Nella needs to be removed from the jungle for her attitude and approach.
“She was irritating in day 1 but hoped she would improve. She hasn’t and her behaviour towards Fred is tantamount to bullying. 100%.”
And someone else demanded: “She needs to be removed from the jungle already.”
Things kicked off between Fred and Nella during Tuesday night’s instalment as the celebs were shown waking up in the morning.
The camp had been hit with a heavy downpour of rain and, as Fred attempted to keep up morale, he tried to offer rice to Nella but she ignored him.
She then explained in 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.”
Fred was completely confused about Nella’s decision to ignore him so asked her outright why she was giving him the cold shoulder.
Nella furiously told him: “So yesterday, when I wanted to burn fat that you were going to throw away, anyways, it’s not even something that we needed to survive in camp.
“You turned around to me, with an attitude and said, ‘You know I could be your dad, 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. I only allow people to disrespect me once. You hurt my feelings. I was very upset… you keep trying to speak to me when I don’t want to speak to you.”
She added: “I would rather stay away from you, 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.”
Fred quickly apologised but was confused about how he had upset her so much with his remark.
The row has sparked a huge reaction online, with many thinking Nella has spoiled her chances of making it to the final.
