ITV bosses ‘give stern warning to Nella and Nigel’ after tense I’m A Celebrity spats

Producers at I’m A Celebrity are said to have stepped in as Nella Rose and Nigel Farage continue to clash in camp.

Youtuber Rose and GB News host Farage have butt heads a number of times during their stint in the Aussie jungle, as the pair continue to argue over their different viewpoints on politics, culture and migration. Their most recent spat came on Tuesday (December 1) after Nigel said he would be done for “cultural appropriation” if he dressed up as a Mexican, which prompted Nella to hit back, saying it was their “tradition”.

Now staff at the ITV reality show have reportedly intervened between Nella and Nigel in an attempt to reduce tensions in camp. Bosses at the show had seemingly spoken to Nella during the first week after the pair got into a heated discussion on immigration.

Former UKIP leader Farage went on to accuse Nella of “not listening” to his beliefs on the issue, while Rose accused Nigel of wanting “people like [her] gone” from the country. The campmates’ row continued after Nigel remarked it would be inappropriate for him to mimic a Jamaican accent.

Since their tense run-ins, things have calmed down amid claims that bosses at the show have had to step in to bring tensions down. Stepping in, execs at the show have told Nella to “enjoy herself” and not let the well-known controversial politician’s opinions get to her.

Producers regularly check in with the contestants as part of ITV’s duty of care to the campmates. The quick chat off-camera takes place every day, and according to a source who spoke to The Sun, bosses have told her to let her hair down.

“Nella is feisty and fun – and she won’t take any nonsense from Nigel or her campmates,” the insider said. “But seeing her butting heads with Nigel means she’s been having a tough time – producers have spoken to Nella and reminded her to enjoy the experience and keep having a laugh.

The source continued: “Life in camp can be gruelling and sometimes the stars forget it is meant to be fun too. Nella is hilarious and brings a totally new dimension to the camp and producers want to see more of that side of her.”

And it seems the pair have already started mending their relationship. Speaking to each other on Wednesday (November 29), they were able to calmly bury the hatchet – though admitting they would “not be the best of buds” due to their conflicting beliefs.

I’m A Celebrity airs every weekday at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
