There's no stopping Nella Rose right now, and now she can officially add TV presenter to her impressive CV as she's been unveiled as the brand new co-host of MTV show Catfish UK!

That's right, 24-year-old Nella will replace Julie Adenuga to co-host the second series alongside usual host Oobah Butler.

The exciting news was announced this morning (Wednesday 11th May) on social media, with influencer Nella writing: 'ITS OFFICIAL! You are looking at the new host of #CATFISHUK 🥺🥺🥺🙏🏾🥳 To be a major part of one of my favourite shows just feels so surreal 🥺 I feel like a real TV presenter now 😭 Can’t wait for you guys to watch!!!'. (sic)

Nella then wrote: 'I can’t believe I’m a TV presenter 🥺'.

Oobah also shared the news to his own account, welcoming Nella to the Catfish UK family.

He wrote: '#catfishuk is back! And I’m joined by my new co-host, the amazing @nellarose. She is such an amazing person. Kind, hilarious, loves sparkling water, and a friend for life. This series has completely raised the game in terms of deception, and I can’t wait to share @MTVCatfishUK'. (sic)

Fans of Nella are clearly over the moon at the news, with many commenting their excitement.

One wrote: 'Ahhhh amazing Nella!!!! Congratulations 👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️'. with another adding: 'This is INSANE!!!!!! THE BIGGEST WILDEST CONGRATULATIONS!!!!'. A third then wrote: 'OMG!!!! Yayyyyy!! Congratulations babee!! We love to see it😍😍🔥🔥🔥'. (sic)

Despite a UK version initially being talked about way back in 2016, Catfish UK didn't actually air until April last year, with Oobah and former host Julie Adenuga taking the reins from American hosts Nev Shulman and Kamie Crawford.

The show, which is based on 2010 film Catfish, helps the UK public reveal the truth about their online relationships, and in turn, attempt to identify a 'Catfish'.

Series one was made up of 10 episodes in total, featuring members of the public including Emma & Harlin, Neil and Jasmin, Tasheeka and Aaron, Emma and Harry, and Jordan and Austin.

Although no official start date for Catfish series two has been announced just yet, we imagine it will land on MTV in the coming months.
