Controversy has erupted on the hit reality show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! as viewers are calling for contestant Nella Rose to be removed from the jungle. The 26-year-old YouTuber sparked outrage after a heated confrontation with fellow camper Fred Sirieix.
Outrage over dinner remark
The incident occurred when Fred, 51, made a comment while cooking the campmates’ dinner. He jokingly told Nella that he was old enough to be her father. However, Nella took great offense to the remark as she had previously mentioned that her own father had passed away. Fred apologized, but was perplexed about how his figure of speech related to Nella’s personal situation.
Viewers branding Nella’s behavior as bullying
Viewers watching at home were equally baffled by the confrontation and some are now calling for Nella to be removed from the show. Taking to social media, fans branded her behavior towards Fred as bullying. One viewer tweeted, “Nella should be removed, I just can’t watch her #teamfred.” Another expressed their frustration, stating, “What the actual f***. #Nella needs to be removed from the jungle for her attitude and approach. She was irritating on day 1 but hoped she would improve. She hasn’t, and her behavior towards Fred is tantamount to bullying. 100%.”
Tensions rise during morning rain
The clash between Fred and Nella occurred during Tuesday night’s episode when the celebs woke up to heavy rain. As Fred tried to lift the camp’s morale by offering rice to Nella, she ignored him. In the Bush Telegraph, Nella explained, “Last night after dinner, Fred made a comment about how he could be my dad. I took offense to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad has passed away.”
A heated exchange
Fred, confused by Nella’s decision to ignore him, confronted her about giving him the cold shoulder. Nella angrily responded, “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.”
Fred quickly apologized but remained confused about how his remark upset Nella so deeply.
Fallout and online reaction
The fallout between Nella and Fred has sparked a huge reaction online, with many viewers believing that Nella has damaged her chances of making it to the show’s final.
