Nigel Farage and Nella Rose clash in tense new I’m A Celebrity row
NELLA Rose took Nigel Farage to task in tonight's I'm A Celebrity in her second row with a campmate in 24 hours.
Tonight it was former MEP Nigel who was in the firing line as the YouTuber accused him of being "anti-immigrant".
It followed her explosive rant at French Sirieix last night in which she told him not to speak to her again over an innocuous comment he made regarding their age gap.
Tonight, down by the bath, Nella said to Nigel: “Let’s get everything out in the open. All the tea is coming out now… apparently you’re anti-immigrants?”
The surprised Brexiteer asked: “Who told you that?”
Nella said: “The internet.”

Nigel replied: “Oh, well there we are then it must be true.”
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: “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.”
Nigel said: “Stop it. Stop, it that’s not… Nella, you’re not listening to a single word I’m saying. You’re not.”
The bickering pair finally agreed to disagree, though Nella admitted she did like Nigel as a person.
She told him: “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.”
Elsewhere in the show, she hinted she could quit before being voted out in a frank discussion with food critic Grace Dent.
