Fred Sirieix says that hate towards Nella Rose 'has to stop', after the YouTuber has come under fire for her behaviour in the I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle.
TV personality Fred, 51, clashed with the 26-year-old at the start of the series after making a comment about being 'old enough to be her dad', which triggered an emotional response from Nella because her dad had passed away in 2020.
However, the pair, who left the jungle one after the other, have now made up and First Dates star is defending Nella, who is getting trolled online. He said: "I think it is very unfair and very unjust the way she is being treated.
"I am really totally against it. Nella is a great girl, she is fun. My children love her, when they found out I was with Nella Rose they were like, you are so lucky. We got on very well.
"There was a misunderstanding, misunderstandings happen all the time but who doesn’t make a mistake? Who doesn’t put his foot in it? Who isn’t wrong at times? I don’t have anything against Nella, I saw her when I came out, we had a hug. I really like Nella."
He concluded: "The hate has to stop it is not fair and it is not going to be in my name. You have a responsibility to stop it because she is a young girl, she is at the very beginning of her career, what she has achieved by herself."
Giving her version of events, Nella also shared that she and Fred are close pals, even describing their relationship as a 'sibling rivalry'.
She explained: "I do feel like my emotions were heightened because we were in such an enclosed environment. But we blessed it over. We actually have some good memories me and Fred – winning the basketball championship, being dunked in ice and walking home like frozen ice. Honestly my disagreements with Fred are things we laugh about now. It brought a lot of entertainment. Being bored in that camp – the disagreements is giving EastEnders. It’s like bickering siblings me and Fred. You’ll see us bicker and see us be friends. It was like a sibling rivalry, the two Frenchies."
In his first in-depth exit interview, Fred also shared how he is hoping to set up fellow campmate Josie Gibson as he plays cupid for the ITV presenter.
He said: "We talked a lot about Josie’s love life and I am on the search for a man for her. There are two ways to go, we can go for First Dates because we are going to be filming again but I think I need to fast forward this and I need to think about my friends because she does not want to meet a celebrity, understandably. I am thinking about friends and who could match her."
