I’m A Celeb star Nella-Rose ‘tried to hug way out of trouble but it’s clear she & rival campmate will never be friends’

SHE proved a divisive character in the jungle, but last night Nella Rose appeared keen to try to make amends.

The influencer, 26, was seen leaving the jungle on I'm A Celebrity... Coming Out, questioning whether she'd been "cancelled", and admitted she was nervous about the public's perception of her.

Nella had explosive clashes with campmates Nigel Farage and Fred Sirieix before she became the second person to be booted out of the jungle.

Despite their rows, last night Nella was one of the first celebrities in line to hug the politician and the First Dates maître d.

But according to body language expert Judi James, she and fiery Frenchman Fred will "never be friends".

She told The Sun: "Nella was the first up to hug Fred when he came out of the jungle to meet the 'friends and family' group at the hotel.

"She sounded worried about coming across badly on the show and seemed to be hugging her way out of potential trouble.

"Fred asked, ‘Are you ok?’ and got a weak ‘Yeah’ in reply, and their hearty hug looked equally weak in terms of the subtler details as he patted her in a ‘break’ signal almost straight away, and the fingertips of her hands as they hugged looked lifted away from his back.

"As a conciliatory make-up gesture, it showed Nella was keen to emphasise her obvious sweet, fun side, but the subtler details of this hug suggested the pair might not quite make ‘friends for life’."

Nella was also in prime position to give third placed contestant Nigel a squeeze when he greeted his jungle comrades.

Surprisingly given their hostilities in camp, she was not among the celebrities who gave him a "distinctly frosty reception", according to Judi.

"Only two appeared to rush to greet him while the others ignored him in the background, with Fred looking spectacularly grim-faced," she said.

"Danielle loved everyone and came up for a hug, with Nella smiling behind her to be the next in line."

'Awkward throuple'

Judi also observed the reunion between Fred and Josie Gibson, who had bickered in camp over who was the best chef.

"Cracks started to show in what should have been a fond, teary-eyed, campmates reunion as soon as Fred and Josie showed they’d be bringing their gripes about each other’s cooking back to the luxury hotel, along with their smelly socks," she said.

"There was no sense of context or perspective kicking in, and the bitterness still looked and sounded raw as Fred ranted about Josie’s culinary ineptitude and Josie crowed that ‘They preferred my food’."

When Josie - who finished fourth in the competition - arrived back at the hotel to greet her campmates, Judi observed how Fred seemed to "lunge in awkwardly to dominate her time".

But Josie’s "intentional rituals and direction of travel suggested she was bypassing Fred to hug Danielle".

She added: "Josie already had her arm around Danielle’s waist to lean in for a hug, but Fred wound his arm around Josie’s neck in a control gesture, making Danielle lean back to get out of the way.

"The result was a very awkward throuple hug, with Josie facing Danielle and keeping an arm around her waist while Fred commandeered her to try to plant a conciliatory cheek kiss."
