Nella Rose’s decision to make sudden peace with Fred Sirieix may be because somebody at ITV has warned her she risked becoming a ‘hate figure’ back home, former campmate Duncan Bannatyne told MailOnline.
At the beginning….
The London influencer, 26, has been criticised for some of her behaviour on I’m a Celebrity, including towards other campmates such as Mr Sirieix and Nigel Farage.
Mr Bannatyne, who spent 21 days on Ant and Dec’s hit show in 2015, told MailOnline that he believes ITV producers have ‘taken her to one side’ and ‘educated her about her behaviour’. He also believes she could still win it as a result.
Nella rowed with Fred
Nella had a row with Fred on Tuesday night when he said he was old enough to be her father. The influencer then told Nigel Farage on Wednesday night that black people didn’t like him.
But last night she and Fred have become friends again after a trial.
Mr Bannatyne told MailOnline: ‘It looks like Nella has been taken to one side by the producers. I watched it last night and she has completely changed, now being over friendly with Fred. Good luck to her, at least she learned something’.
He said this week that she needed to be ‘taught a bit about the facts of life for her own good before she becomes a hate figure’.
She could still wear the crown
Former BBC Dragons’ Den star Duncan still believes she could be crowned Queen of the Jungle – despite some of the rows and her odds plunging with bookmakers.
He said: ‘At this stage anybody could win. We, the public, have short memories and she could pull it back’.

But Thursday night as jockey Frankie Dettori and boxer Tony Bellew’s arrival meant that the group were split into two rival camps, Nella and Fred worked together to beat Hollyoaks legend Nick Pickard and JLS star Marvin Humes in a special head to head.
Nella was the first to volunteer for the challenge and she had no problem when Fred said he would go with her.
Realising what a big deal the moment was EastEnders Danielle Harold said in The Bush Telegraph: ‘Fred and Nella have both volunteered to go out for the challenge today… I reckon this will bond them even closer.’
