IAC: Ant ‘furious’ as Nella and Frankie fail bushtucker trial
Nella Rose reportedly worried I’m A Celeb bosses as they feared she would quit the show after being picked for most of the trials and clashing with campmates.
It is claimed that those working on the ITV show feared the 26-year-old Youtuber would follow in the footsteps of Grace Dent and Jamie Lynn Spears.
Both Grace, 50, and Jamie, 32, pulled out due to “medical reasons”.
Reports suggest executives felt Nella would be pushed to her breaking point after she was picked for another trial.
So far she has taken part in nine Bush Tucker trials while also being caught up in conflict with Nigel Farage and Fred Sirieix.

Arriving at the clearing area, Ant McPartlin asked why she thinks the public repeatedly voted for her to do the trials, to which she replied: “I couldn’t tell you. I genuinely don’t know. It’s either I’m doing good or I’m doing bad. But at this point it is what it is.”
The source added to the aforementioned publications: “This is her ninth one and it’s been really hard for her to keep seeing that the public are voting for her.
“But Nella is a real fighter, and she absolutely smashed the trial. She was elated when she got back to camp.”

During the trial she was forced to search inside a pitch-black jungle museum for stars that were hidden within exhibit boxes.
She was showered by critters being poured over her while looking in boxes containing animals including scorpions, crabs and baby crocodiles.
Nella took the challenge by storm and won nine out of 10 stars.
She missed out on the final star as it was hidden in a dark tunnel which she was too scared to enter.
After her triumph, she told Ant and Dec that she was petrified, and it was “very scary”.
Upon facing her fears, she admitted that she was “super proud” of herself for carrying on and not letting the fear beat her.
She added: “I just remembered, Tony, he really believes in me and he thinks I’m the strongest woman on the planet.
“Confined space, you lot pushed it with that. In the jet black, no. But me and Tony Bellew neck and neck.”
