I'm A Celeb's Nella Rose and Nigel Farage in fiery argument over Brexit
Nella expressed her opinions...
She may no longer being doing trials, but it's safe to say Influencer Nella Rose isn't holding back in the I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! camp. Following her awkward encounter with TV chef Fred Sirieix on Tuesday night's show, Nella has now been embroiled in a fiery disagreement with former politician Nigel Farage.
In a discussion which took place at the hot tub on Wednesday night's (22 November) show, 26-year-old Nella asked 59-year-old Nigel about his Brexit plans and his personal views on the matter.
She asked: “Let’s get everything out in the open. All the tea is coming out now… apparently you’re anti-immigrants?”
Taken aback, Nigel responded: “Who told you that?”
Nella said: “The internet,” to which Nigel sarcastically replied: “Oh, well there we are then it must be true.”
Going on further, Nella then asked: “It must be! OK, but then why don’t black people like you?”
Nigel replied: “You’d be amazed, they do.”
Nella reacted: “Nigel! Nigel!”
Nigel said: “If you came with me through South London, you’d be astonished.”
Nella asked: “So everyone hates you for no reason? Not that everyone hates you, that was so bad. Sorry.”
Nigel then gasped: “You can disagree with somebody, but to chuck around accusations the way they’ve been chucked around is grossly unfair. Anti-immigrant, right? No, no, all I’ve said is we cannot go on with the numbers coming to Britain that are coming.”
Nella said: “I’m one of the numbers?”
Nigel replied: “So that’s it then, should it be 5 million a year, 10 million… you don’t seem to understand.”
Nella said: “Those immigrants that are coming in, I came in.”
Nigel insisted: “Hang on! Think!”
Nella asked: “What is so wrong about immigrants?”
Nigel said: “Listen. Since 2000, the British population has increased by 10 million. 10 million.”
Nella said: “Good thing, right?”
Nigel replied: “Good thing, unless you want a GP appointment…”
Nella asked: “I’m stopping you getting a GP appointment? You’re not getting an appointment because the NHS is lacking funding. I bet you anything if every single immigrant or from immigrant descent was to leave the UK, all your doctors, go… most of your doctors are Asian right? Most of your nurses are African women, right?
“You want us gone, that’s all I understood.”
Getting frustrated, Nigel then said: “Stop it. Stop it, that’s not… Nella, you’re not listening to a single word I’m saying. You’re not.”
Nella said: “It’s ok for us to disagree on this.”
Nigel added: “We can agree to disagree if you listen.”
Nella said: “I am listening to you.”
Nigel responded: “No you’re not.”
In the Bush Telegraph Nigel said: “What was interesting was at the end of it she said, ‘Well, OK, we’re going to agree to disagree.’ And that’s the important thing, agreeing to disagree. ”
Later on, Nella said to Nigel: “My main point was that we’ve got into this jungle and I really like you and I want to know why everyone hated you. We don’t have to come to a common ground. You probably like a lot of things that I don’t like. And I probably like a lot of things that you don’t like…we can have these conversations.”
After seeing Nella's disagreements with both Fred and Nigel over the last two days, many viewers have taken to social media to express their frustration, with many predicting she will be the first celeb to lose her place in the jungle.
