Nigel Farage and Nella Rose clash in new I’m A Celebrity spat

Joseph Loftus

Oh it’s all kicking off

By now, I’m sure we’ve all seen the huge row between Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix.

In the episode which aired on Tuesday night, Fred left Nella feeling “disrespected” and “offended” after saying to her that he’s old enough to be her dad which caused an absolutely monumental kick off which many think was completely uncalled for.

To refresh your memory, Nella explained in Tuesday’s episode: “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.”

As Fred continued speaking to Nella that morning, she blanked him before eventually telling him why she was upset.

She told him: “Can you leave me alone?”

Fred said: “OK”.

He then asked: “What have I done to you?”, to which Nella replied: “You know that my mum’s dead. And you know that my dad’s dead.”

She continued: “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.”

Fred quite quickly replied that he was sorry, saying: “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.”

Nella still wasn’t having it though, saying: “I’m not stupid, you’re not going to little girl me, you’re not.”

Now, however, there’s been a second argument, this time between Nigel Farage and Nella Rose.

In last night’s episode, it was Farage who was in the firing line, when Nella accused him of being “anti-immigrant”.

Nella said to Nigel: “Let’s get everything out in the open. All the tea is coming out now… apparently you’re anti-immigrants?”

Farage quickly asked: “Who told you that?” to which Nella replied: “The internet.”

Nigel replied: “Oh, well there we are then it must be true.” 

Nella then asked: “It must be! OK, but then why don’t black people like you?” 

Nigel replied: “You’d be amazed, they do.”

Nella reacted: “Nigel! Nigel!” 

Nigel said: “If you came with me through South London, you’d be astonished.”

Nella asked: “So everyone hates you for no reason? Not that everyone hates you, that was so bad. Sorry.” 

Nigel: “You can disagree with somebody, but to chuck around accusations the way they’ve been chucked around is grossly unfair. Anti-immigrant, right? No, no, all I’ve said is we cannot go on with the numbers coming to Britain that are coming.”

Nella said: “I’m one of the numbers?”

Nigel replied: “So that’s it then, should it be 5 million a year, 10 million… you don’t seem to understand.” 

Nella said: “Those immigrants that are coming in, I came in.”

Nigel insisted: “Hang on! Think!” 

Nella asked: “What is so wrong about immigrants?”

Nigel said: “Listen. Since 2000, the British population has increased by 10 million. 10 million.” 

Nella said: “Good thing, right?”

Nigel replied: “Good thing, unless you want a GP appointment…” 

Nella asked: “I’m stopping you getting a GP appointment? You’re not getting an appointment because the NHS is lacking funding. I bet you anything if every single immigrant or from immigrant descent was to leave the UK, all your doctors, go… most of your doctors are Asian right? Most of your nurses are African women, right?

“You want us gone, that’s all I understood.”

Nigel said: “Stop it. Stop, it that’s not… Nella, you’re not listening to a single word I’m saying. You’re not.”

Eventually the pair agreed to disagree.
