What happened to Nella Rose’s dad as she hits out at Fred Sirieix for ‘disrespectful’ comment

I'm A Celeb's Nella Rose called out Fred Sirieix for a 'disrespectful' father comment

Only three episodes in and I'm A Celeb is already kicking off after Nella Rose has called out Fred Sirieix for ‘disrespectful’ comment about her late father.

Take a look at the heated exchange below:

I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! is well and truly back, with a fresh lineup of celebs - Sirieix, Rose, Nigel Farage, Marvin Humes, Josie Gibson, Nick Pickard, Danielle Harold, Sam Thompson, Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent.

Episode three of the ITV show aired on Tuesday (21 November) evening and the big talking point was the row between Sirieix and Rose.

Earlier in the series, social media star Rose - who's already proving a favourite with I'm a Celeb fans - told Sirieix that her father had passed away.

A while later, while speaking about their age difference (he's 51, Rose is 26), Fred said he 'could be her dad'.

The next day, Rose lashed out at Sirieix, saying she felt 'disrespected' by his comment and telling him to stay away from her.

Rose explained in the Bush Telegraph: "Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad.

"I took offence to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad's passed away."

When Sirieix tried to talk to Rose the next day, she replied: "Can you leave me alone?"

She explained: "You know that my mum's dead, and you know that my dad's dead. You know that, right?"

After having it out with him, Sirieix replied: "I am so sorry. Can I just say? First of all, I am sorry I've offended you. I am unaware that you felt offended."

A lot of viewers were divided by the incident and many were asking questions about what happened to Rose's father.

Sadly, the social media star has lost both her mother and father, and has faced financial difficulties throughout her teens, having been homeless at one point.

Rose - who is of Congolese descent - arrived in the UK from Belgium at the age of seven with her mother Eseho Omolongo and older brother Albert.

However, Omolongo tragically passed away in 2016.

"She died in my arms. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life," she told her followers on YouTube at the time.

Rose says that after her mother died, the council took back her home, leaving her essentially homeless and living in university accommodation or at friends' houses.

Her father Kamango Paul Hollela died in 2020, four years after her mother.

"Rest in Peace Daddy," Rose wrote on Instagram.

"Watching you suffer for the past month has been the hardest thing I've ever done in my life but at least you're not in pain anymore.

"Gonna make you the proudest dad ever in the years to come because I know you're still by side every step of the way."

The circumstances behind her father's death have not been revealed.

"When you're an immigrant, have been homeless, lost both parents, family have disowned you, constantly body shamed but God continues to bless you," she previously said on TikTok.
