I'm A Celeb fans rage at 'entitled snowflake' Nella Rose after row with Fred Siriex over 'dad' comment
ITV viewers have spoken out in their droves against Nella Rose's behaviour following Tuesday night's episode of I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here.
Rose was fuming with fellow campmates and First Dates star Fred Siriex after he'd made a comment the night before in which he said he was old enough to be her dad.
Rose took issue with the comment after she felt "disrespected" due to the fact she'd opened up to Siriex about losing both parents.
After sleeping on it, Rose had made up her mind about Siriex and when he tried to offer her rice for breakfast, she began ignoring him.
Nella 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.
“I didn’t say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it. So I slept on it and I kind of thought about it and I was just like, this is not the kind of person I want to be around.”
Back in the camp, Siriex asked again: “Seriously Nella, you should eat, don’t you think? Nella? Nella? Nella?”

“Right, so why does he keep calling me?” Rose said to Sam Thompson before Siriex approached and made his way into her eyeline.
“Nella? Darling? You don’t want to eat?” Siriex said to which Rose hit back: "Can you leave me alone?
A bemused Siriex - who'd already been involved in a fiery clash with Nigel Farage over Brexit in the camp - asked what he'd done wrong which prompted Rose to explain.
She told the First Dates star: "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?
“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. 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.”

Siriex tried to fight his corner as he said: “I am so sorry. Can I just say? First of all, I am sorry I’ve offended you. I am unaware that you felt offended. I am unaware that what I said would lead to this conversation, I only said that in a way because I am older than you, I am 51 and you’re 26.”
"I’m not stupid, you’re not going to little girl me, you’re not," Rose interrupted as Siriex continued to defend himself: “Nella, it wasn’t like that at all.
“Either I made a mistake and I said something and I offended you, I’m really sorry. I’m really sorry you feel like this.”
Rose eventually said she accepted Siriex's apology but she wanted to avoid him in camp and didn't want to eat any food he'd prepared.
She also yelled at Siriex for "smiling" and not "clocking on the vibe" before he decided to apologise and leave Rose to it.
Following the explosive scenes, a majority of I'm A Celeb viewers flocked to X to slam Rose's behaviour and applaud Siriex for his composure.
One person slammed: "If someone ever asks you the meaning of 'Gaslighting' just give them Nella Rose's example #ImACeleb."

While a second weighed in: "I'm confused, Fred literally hasn't done anything wrong. Nella needs to go #ImACeleb #ImACelebrity."
Elsewhere, a third raged: "Nella is the perfect example of an entitled generation of people brought up as snowflakes who think being famous is doing a video on YouTube and being offended by nothing. #ImaCeleb."
And a fourth blasted: "Jeez, Nella is actually vile. Why are the camp mates not telling her she's behaving like a 5 year old child? I'd be EMBARRASSED!!!!!!! #ImACelebrity #ImaCeleb"
"This Nella person could potentially be one of the worst ever camp mates on I’m A Celebrity," another added to the discussion. "Awful, aggressive, nasty and entitled human. Very uncomfortable to watch tonight. Get her out of there before she ruins the series for everyone! #ImACeleb."
However, there were a few who jumped to Rose's defence, including one fan who argued: "Everyone hating on Nella leave the girl alone and your negative comments #ImACeleb."
And another defended: "Ppl need to leave nella alone... why are they policing her reaction like her parents passed away so she's allowed to grieve and feel how she feels. #ImACeleb." (sic)
Elsewhere in the show, Rose only managed to bag three stars after she faced the Bushtucker Trial in which she was electrocuted and faced a number of creepy crawlies in an underground lair.
