The I'm A Celebrity star has spoken out about her time in the jungle

I'm A Celebrity campmate Nella Rose has publicly addressed her row with Fred Siriex during their time in the jungle following her exit on Monday night.

The YouTuber - who decided not to speak to Lorraine Kelly on Tuesday - and First Dates star clashed within days of entering the jungle after Rose took issue with a comment Siriex made about his age.


Rose branded Siriex a "weirdo" and told him not to "little girl" her after he'd said he was old enough to be her father during one of the first evenings in camp.

The influencer lost both of her parents before participating in I'm A Celebrity and took issue with Siriex's phrasing after he'd been made aware of her bereavements earlier.

Rose's reaction divided ITV viewers with many jumping to Siriex's defence soon after their row as he apologised for inadvertently offending his campmate and said the phrase was made without any malice.

A week or so on and both Rose and Siriex have been voted out of the competition, with Rose deciding to speak out on their clash during a televised interview on Wednesday.

When asked if she'd been able to watch the row back, Rose said: "I haven't been able to watch anything back yet.

"But I know everything that's gone on, I know everything that's happened and honestly... it was a big, fat misunderstanding."

She continued: "We've gone over it. Me and Fred are cool, everything is bless - I don't know why everyone is still crying about it.

"But I understand. It's TV, that's life," Rose went on before adding that everything in the jungle is "intensified".

Siriex was part of the same televised chat alongside Rose and echoed that the entire row was a "misunderstanding".

He added to ITV hosts Emma Willis and Rylan Clark: "You're in the jungle, it's like a pressure cooker and that's just the way it is.

"What I will say is that I was very surprised by the hate for Nella when I came out, I think it's totally wrong, it's unfair, and not in my name."

Siriex became the third campmate eliminated from I'm A Celeb on Tuesday evening and now just seven stars remain in the jungle.

While he and Rose appear to have patched up their differences, both also found themselves at loggerheads with campmate and GB News star Nigel Farage.

Farage locked horns with Siriex a number of times as rows over Brexit boiled over while he and Rose clashed over debates about cultural appropriation and immigration.

But the fact Farage remains in the jungle while the other two have departed was cause for celebration among his supporters on Tuesday evening.
