I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here: Coming Out revealed Nella Rose‘s concerns over the public’s perception of her after leaving the jungle.

During tonight’s (December 13) Coming Out special, the YouTuber appeared nervous about how she’d come across to viewers after seeing footage from the show during her exit interview, asking a crew member if she’d been “cancelled” by the public.

Opening up to Ant and Dec in another behind-the-scenes clip, Nella added: “I’m so scared… It’s hard in there, guys.”

However, the presenting duo quickly reassured Nella about her time in the jungle, adding that they were happy she didn’t leave early on in the show.

“We loved you in there,” Ant said. “But if you’d walked early on, we’d have just seen conflict and nothing else. We wouldn’t have gotten to see the fun you.”

Nella’s jungle journey had seen her face multiple ups and downs, including struggling with the Bushtucker Trials and disagreements with First Dates star Fred Sirieix and politician Nigel Farage.

In the car on the way back to the hotel, Nella again reflected on her time in camp, saying: “I’m kinda nervous of my perception to the public, but I feel like I was 100% myself.

“It is what it is. I signed up for it, did it, came out and now we deal with the consequences.”

Later on, Nella caught up with EastEnders actress Danielle Harold and Hollyoaks star Nick Pickard, with the trio agreeing that emotions were “intense and heightened” in the jungle.

“I think [what] is so crazy, inside camp, everything is so intense and heightened,” Nella told the pair before saying that it was “all jokes now”.

Elsewhere in the episode, Grace Dent and Jamie-Lynn Spears spoke about their decision to leave camp early and shared their best moments from their time in the competition.
