Fans of the show were surprised by a new development in a heated argument between Nella Rose and another contestant.

After a distressing clash, I’m A Celebrity fans have breathed a collective sigh of relief as Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix have reconciled. It all started when Fred, 51, said he felt like her dad because of their age gap, which the 26-year-old YouTuber said made her feel ‘disrespected’.

Fred apologized profusely but Nella said she didn’t want to eat his food or talk to him, and would stay away from him. But on Thursday’s night episode, the pair were forced to work together in the Locker Shocker challenge, with the winning five campmates moving to a new luxury camp.

In what seemed like the beginning of the end of the feud, Nella and Fred both volunteered to go out for the challenge and even shared a high-five as they gleefully returned back to camp as champions.

ITV viewers on X, formerly known as Twitter, were thrilled the feud had been ‘squashed’, with many predicting they would now become ‘best friends.’

The reconciliation was met with much fanfare online, with one fan saying: ‘Ahhh that put a smile on my face I’m glad man! Nella and Fred smashed that #ImACeleb.’ Another wrote: ‘Nella and Fred shooting hoops acting like besties wasn’t the plot twist I was expecting this evening #imaceleb.’

Despite the joyous occasion, there had been online backlash to Nella’s response to the row, which TV star London Hughes said on X was loaded with ‘racial prejudice.’ The comedian wrote: ‘Whether you choose to believe it isn't my problem. But there’s real hatred in these tweets aimed at Nella! It’s dripping with racial prejudice. Words like ”sub-human” and “disgusting animal” to describe a black girl you disagree with on a family entertainment show? Really?’

London wasn’t the only celebrity to have defended Nella’s reaction to Fred, with Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter calling him a ‘weirdo’ and even saying on the ITV show: ‘I can see that what he said to her could’ve offended her and also, looking at her backstory, her parents came from the Congo, they went to Belgium, both of her parents died within a few months of each other... It’s not Fred’s fault and he will not be aware of it, but that will inform how she reacts to him.’

Meanwhile, The Voice UK fans were also angry after no judges turned for a 90s music icon, and Kate Garraway confirmed her husband Derek had been hospitalised.

I’m A Celebrity continues tomorrow on ITV and ITVX at 9pm.
