Richard Madeley has shared his thoughts on the recent clash between Nella Rose and Fred Sirieix on ITV's I'm A Celebrity, as he believes there's a hidden reason behind their row.
In Tuesday's episode, Nella, 26, felt "disrespected" and "offended" by comments made by Fred, 51. This was especially hurtful as she had recently experienced some tragic losses in her family.
Nella had previously opened up about losing her father in 2020 and her mother when she was just 19. She was upset with Fred, who she claimed knew about her family tragedy, for making an insensitive comment to her in camp.
Nella explained to the Bush Telegraph: "Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad." She found this offensive as one of their first conversations was about her late father.
She didn't confront Fred immediately but chose to sleep on it. The next morning, she decided to ignore Fred before finally telling him why she was upset.
Fred was taken aback and quickly apologised, confessing he didn't realise his mistake had upset her. Despite accepting his apology, Nella laid down the law, stating: "You only get one chance to disrespect me. I accept your apology but let's not be friends. How about that?"
On Wednesday's Good Morning Britain, Richard, who was a contestant on the ITV reality show in 2021, suggested a hidden reason for the argument. Co-host Susanna Reid commented: "It just shows that you're in there for a couple of days, you haven't had enough to eat."
Richard, 67, agreed: "That's the point, you haven't had enough to eat, honestly", with Susanna, 52, responding: "Richard, you just mentioned there, the hanger [hungry and angry] that you get because of course you were in the castle!"
Richard had to leave Gwrych Castle in Wales, where the 2021 series was filmed due to the pandemic, to head to hospital after feeling unwell, with him leaving the then strict Covid bubble between the campmates.
Richard shared: "Very briefly, I had to go be checked out at the hospital" and Susanna asked: "Was that because you hadn't eaten enough?" Richard replied: "It might have been? They put it down to low blood sugar, basically, and dehydration. So yeah, it might have been but I couldn't come back in because I had broken the Covid bubble, which existed then."
He added: "But yeah, what you find yourself, well, I found myself doing is very consciously controlling your ill temper because you are ill tempered. You know what we're like when we're hungry, you get ill tempered. You have to very conciously control it. I guess something like that [Nella and Fred], very sensitive to do with the death of the father, then it will burst and we saw that happen."
I'm A Celebrity continues every night at 9pm on ITV and ITV X.
