I’m A Celebrity fans are backing Nella Rose after she clashed with First Dates star Fred Siriex over a comment he made that sparked a reaction from her about her dead parents.
Fred Siriex had said that he was ‘old enough to be her dad’ and Nella took the comment completely the wrong way.
Nella was not happy as she told Fred: “You know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead.”

Youtuber Nella, 26, then proceeded to give Fred the silent treatment over breakfast until Fred apologised
Some ITV1 and ITVX viewers were fuming over the row and said Nella ‘over reacted’.
@itsmikelee said: “Oh f***** was a big supporter of Nella, now unfortunately that reaction wasn’t needed. A chat with Fred could’ve sorted it. Your feelings are valid but your reaction was not. #ImACeleb
@latenightnanna said: “Good on Fred but I wouldn’t have apologised to Nella. What a lunatic. Loved her yesterday as well #ImACelebrity” “
@xhoneybeefairyx said: “oh I’ve seen the clip…ok my two cents is that I don’t think Fred meant any harm, but Nella took the comment the wrong way and it’s a sore subject so she’s got her guard up hence her reaction…no hate needed on either side”

@tinutweets said: “ngl Nella needs to realise that public perception is important. how can you make an enemy of Fred from First Dates!? he’s such a lovely guy ah ahn…”
But others backed Nella and defended her from the swathes of criticism she’s been getting since the clash.
@hutch_si said: “Fair play to her Fred was out or order he knew her dad had died…not good to then say he could be her dad… shockingly insensitive even for a frenchman…”
@eyen_libido said: “To most people, Nella overreacted. However, it’s unfair to judge her based on how we would have reacted, especially as we haven’t experienced what she has. Fred was right to apologise & they’ll most likely resolve their differences soon. No need to abuse her!”
@notosookmdi said: “I’m sure if it was any of the public in the same situation as Nella you’d react the same way ESPECIALLY if you misunderstood what Fred had said.”
Nella Rose also took part in a Bushtucker Trial during the episode. She as asked to climb into a box filled with green ants and crawl through the space while being ‘electrocuted’.
Unfortunately, it didn’t go well for Nella and she screamed ‘I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here’ after picking up just three stars.
I’m A Celebrity returns at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX on Wednesday, November 22.
