I’m A Celeb star Fred Sirieix’s girlfriend breaks silence after Nella Rose row

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Fred Sirieix’s partner has broken her silence following his awkward clash with Nella Rose.

The First Dates star’s partner, who he affectionately calls Fruistcake, re-shared a post from Fred’s Instagram story as she reacted to the uncomfortable scenes that aired in Tuesday night’s episode. In the programme, Fred was confronted by campmate Nella after she was left feeling “disrespected” and “offended” over comments made to her following some heartbreaking losses in her family.

In a disagreement with Fred, Nella claimed the First Dates star was aware of her father’s death in 2020 and her mother’s passing when she was aged 19 when he made a comment around the campfire. Following the awkward scenes, Fred’s partner, whom he’s been engaged to since 2020, shared her reaction on social media.

Fred’s partner, Fruitcake, re-posted an Instagram Story upload from the First Dates star’s official Instagram page, which read: “Tough watch for some of the show tonight but Fred did us so proud – we know his intention would never be to upset anyone. Keep your head up Fred – we love you”.

In last night’s show, Nella discussed her hurt feelings as she told the Bush Telegraph: “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.” Later in the programme, YouTube star Nella was seen ignoring Fred when he called her, before she said: “Can you leave me alone?” Fred answered: “OK.” He went on to ask: “What have I done to you?” Nella explained: “You know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead.

“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.” She then called him a “weirdo” for “bringing up her dead dad”.

Fred was stunned and was quick to apologise for any offence caused as he replied: “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 said back: “I’m not stupid, you’re not going to little girl me, you’re not.” Fred told her: “Nella, it wasn’t like that at all,” swearing on his family’s life. He added: “Either I made a mistake and I said something and I offended you, I’m really sorry. I’m really sorry you feel like this.” YouTube star Nella said she accepted his apology but insisted Fred should “not talk” to her and suggested: “Let’s not be friends”.
