Nella Rose has revealed her true feelings for rival I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here campmate Nigel Farage.
The influencer, 26, and the former UKIP leader, 59, famously clashed in the jungle over their views on immigration and politics. In her first TV interview since leaving I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Nella told ITV's Lorraine she actually had no hard feelings for Nigel.
Nella said: "I love everybody in there. I've made friends for life and I will never forget this experience. I won't forget Nigel, we really had interesting conversations in there that needed to be had and it is what it is. I feel in life it's good to hear different opinions, me and Nigel come from two different classes and walks of life, we can agree to disagree, no-one gets hurt. It's fine."
Nella and Nigel clashed in the jungleNigel and Nella hit headlines last month when they clashed over 'cultural appropriation' during an action-packed episode of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The former UKIP leader complained he "can't win" as he fumed at not being able to dress up as a Mexican man for a fancy dress party.
YouTuber Nella reminded the former MEP that it's 'all about the context', but he seemed to shrug off comments. Fans were gripped on the episode. "If a white person does a black accent that's considered to be a crime. It's sort of 'can't win' territory," he told campmates Nella, EastEnders ' Danielle Harold and First Dates' Fred Sirieix. "It's rather like, you go to a fancy dress party, you'll dress as something and the press will say it's cultural appropriation. If you dressed as a Mexican or whatever it is."

It wasn't the first time Nigel and Nella have come to logger-heads. Days earlier viewers praised Nella after she confronted Farage over his anti-immigration views. She asked him "Why don't black people like you? You want us gone, that's all I understood. Let's get everything out in the open. All the tea is coming out now… apparently, you're anti-immigrants?"
Nigel replied: "Who told you that?" Nella said: "The internet." Nigel added: "Oh, well there we are then it must be true." Adding further fuel to the fire, Nella probed: "It must be! OK, but then why don't black people like you?"
Nigel replied: "You’d be amazed, they do. If you came with me through South London, you'd be astonished." Nella reacted: "Nigel! Nigel! So everyone hates you for no reason? Not that everyone hates you, that was so bad. Sorry."
