Nigel Farage and Nella Rose had another tense exchange on Tuesday night’s installment of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!<\/p>\n
The ex-UKIP leader, 59, and YouTuber, 26, have very opposing political opinions and have previously fallen out in camp over issues such as immigration and Brexit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The conversation kicked off over a discussion over Jamaicans pronouncing ‘water’ as ‘wata’ – after Jamie Lynn began to ask questions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nigel was quick to get involved, telling Fred Sirieix:\u00a0‘If you said that, they’d call it cultural appropriation, Fred.’<\/p>\n
The conversation soon broadened out into a general discussion over cultural appropriation, which ended with Nella branding Nigel as ‘ignorant’ and ‘deluded’, before refusing to speak to him as her trial approached.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nigel Farage and Nella Rose had another tense exchange on Tuesday night’s installment of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nigel was branded as ‘ignorant’ and ‘deluded’ by Nella<\/p>\n
Nigel made his views clear over accents, saying:\u00a0‘It’s when suits, they criticise when suits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘If a white person does a black accent, that’s considered to be a crime. That they should be cancelled.’<\/p>\n
However, Nella was quick to explain:\u00a0‘It depends on what context. If you’re taking the p*** then you’re taking the p***. But if you’re not, then you’re not.’<\/p>\n
Nigel then argued that if he ‘dressed as Mexican’ for a fancy dress party, the press would accuse him of ‘cultural appropriation’, saying he was baffled at why that is the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nella said: ‘You can’t use somebody’s culture as a fancy dress costume. The Mexican outfit is traditional to them. It’s been in their culture for decades.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
A very resigned Nigel responded: ‘I do not know what the rules are Nella. I do not know.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Later in the Bush Telegraph, he said: ‘There just seems to be this enormous confusion about what you can and can’t do, and what you can and can’t wear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘To be honest with you, I’m no further forwards as to what’s acceptable and what’s not.’<\/p>\n

Speaking to Jamie Lynn Spears, Nella said she was ‘confused’ at Nigel’s views<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Viewers were left divided over who to side with during the tense debate<\/p>\n
Nella later discussed the disagreement with Jamie Lynn. She continued: ‘It doesn\u2019t bother me because I expect it from him. But it’s the delusion that confuses me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘It’s the ignorance of like, not caring about other cultures.<\/p>\n
She added in the Bush Telegraph: \u2018When Nigel was speaking I was just so disappointed in him because we were getting on so well.’<\/p>\n

Now share your opinion<\/p>\n
Viewers were once again left divided by the tense exchange, as one argued ‘Nella is 100% right in this situation.’<\/p>\n
A second said: ‘Man shut up, she’s right.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
However another argued: ‘I just can’t stand the fact Nella won’t just speak to him about what he’s done wrong. Stop walking away giving people the cold shoulder.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nella was then voted to do the latest Misery Hotel trial, alongside jockey Frankie Dettori.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nigel made overtures to make up with the social media sensation and asked if she was OK.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Nella was worried about the trial and admitted: ‘Speaking to Nigel was the last thing I wanted to do.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a previous row, Nella claimed that black people ‘don’t like’ Nigel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said to the former\u00a0UKIP\u00a0leader that he\u00a0is also ‘anti-immigrant’ and ‘wants all\u00a0them gone’.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n She added:\u00a0‘I’m one of them’ – a nod to her birth in Belgium to\u00a0Congolese parents before arriving in the UK in 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n Mr Farage then asked her:\u00a0<\/span>‘Who told you that?’, to which Nella replied:\u00a0‘The internet’. Mr Farage exclaimed:\u00a0‘Oh, well there we are then it must be true’. Nella then said: ‘It must be! OK, but then why don’t black people like you?’<\/span><\/p>\n ‘If you came with me through South London, you’d be astonished’, Farage hit back.<\/span><\/p>\n Former City broker Nigel led UKIP – the UK Independence Party – from 2006 until 2009 and again from 2010 to 2016.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nigel and Nella have repeatedly come to blows with each other in the celebrity jungle<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Nigel attempted to make things up with Nella after she was voted to do the Misery Hotel trial<\/p>\n <\/p>\n NIGEL FARAGE<\/p>\n Claim to fame:<\/span> Former leader of the UK Independence Party\u00a0 and leader of the Brexit Party.<\/p>\n Phobias:<\/span> Nobody likes rats, snakes and I am dreading anything to do with heights.<\/p>\n Biggest misconception you want to dispel?:<\/span> I have been demonised over the years and so it will be nice to show people I am not nasty.\u00a0<\/p>\n Role in camp:<\/span> Lead on starting up plenty of campfire discussions.\u00a0<\/p>\n Aside from your family, what will you miss the most whilst in camp?:<\/span> A pint in the pub and the news.\u00a0<\/p>\n Best & worst attributes: <\/span>I hope to cheer people up when they are down.
