JUNGLE JITTERS
Nella Rose hints she’ll quit I’m A Celebrity after brutal spat with Fred Sirieix
There have been calls for her to leave camp after the clash
DIVISIVE I'm A Celebrity star Nella Rose has hinted she'll quit the show just 24 hours after her explosive spat with Fred Sirieix.
The YouTuber, 26, was widely panned by viewers last night for lashing out at Fred for a seemingly innocuous comment he made over dinner.

Nella, whose parents tragically died within four years of each other, tore into the First Dates star, 51, after he commented he was old enough to be her dad.
He apologised profusely but was still given the cold shoulder in no uncertain terms.
Nella admitted to Grace Dent that she has a habit of quitting when the going gets tough and claimed she'd already have left had struggling Jamie Lynn Spears decided to go.
She said: “I’ve never, ever in my life started something and finished it. Ever. I always quit, or I always sign on short term or if I don’t like it I can leave… this is the one thing I said I’m going to try and stick it through but I can already see myself… if I get in my head too much…”

Grace asked: “Do you bolt, you run the minute things start to pick up?”
Nella said: “When I was younger I was put in a lot of situations that I had no control over. I was sad and miserable.
"So now that I have the control over my happiness and the things I want to do I think I’m kind of, I’ve become obsessed with it: ‘Oh, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.’”
Nella added in The Bush Telegraph: “Whenever I feel uncomfortable, whenever I feel sad I do tend to leave.

"I do tend to not carry things through if I feel uncomfortable.
"So the fact I’ve lasted in the jungle for this long is astonishing.”
She told Grace: “I used to have so much discipline but that was when I was in a bad space.
"Lack of self discipline got me from a size 12 to a size 20.
"Literally my dad passed, I locked myself in the house for two months, I drank every single day and ate every single day and I gained it all and it was pandemic.”
Nella admitted: “If Jamie left yesterday I would have been right behind her… I’m leaving. I just don’t want to be the first.”
But unless she has a massive redemption arc between now and the first vote, it looks likely she will be the first to get the boot given the reaction to her ill-judged row with Fred.
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues Thursday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX
