Nella Rose and Nigel Farage got into a bit of a heated debate about immigration on this evening’s episode of I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!
Rose and Farage are settling into jungle life alongside their campmates Fred Sirieix, Marvin Humes, Josie Gibson, Nick Pickard, Danielle Harold, Sam Thompson, Jamie Lynn Spears and Grace Dent.
But the first few days have not gone smoothly - in fact, there were calls to boycott the show before it even kicked off after it was revealed Farage was joining the camp.

And on last night’s episode, viewers may have seen Rose butt heads with Sirieix, branding him ‘disrespectful’ after he told her he 'could be her dad' when talking about their age difference.
She 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."
And on tonight’s (22 November) episode, Rose gets into it with Farage, after asking him if he is ‘anti immigration’.

Kicking off the conversation, Rose said: “Let’s get everything out in the open. All the tea is coming out now… apparently you’re anti-immigrants?”
To which Farage asked: “Who told you that?”
When Rose told him she had read it online, he sarcastically responded: “Oh, well there we are then it must be true.”
But refusing to drop the topic, Rose continued: “OK, but then why don’t black people like you?”

Farage told Rose that she may be ‘amazed’ to learn that they do and that she would be ‘astonished’ if she visited South London with him.
He went on: “You can disagree with somebody, but to chuck around accusations the way they’ve been chucked around is grossly unfair.
"Anti-immigrant, right? No, no, all I’ve said is we cannot go on with the numbers coming to Britain that are coming.”

Rose, who was born in Belgium, replied: “I’m one of the numbers?”
When Farage said that the UK population had increased by 10 million since 2000, Rose suggested that was a ‘good thing’ but Farage disagreed.
“Good thing, unless you want a GP appointment,” he said.
Rose hit back: “I’m stopping you getting a GP appointment? You’re not getting an appointment because the NHS is lacking funding.
"I bet you anything if every single immigrant or from immigrant descent was to leave the UK, all your doctors, go… most of your doctors are Asian right? Most of your nurses are African women, right?

“You want us gone, that’s all I understood.”
After accusing Rose of ‘not listening to a word’ he said, she told Farage that it was fine for them to disagree.
Ending the discussion, Rose said to Farage: “My main point was that we’ve got into this jungle and I really like you and I want to know why everyone hated you. We don’t have to come to a common ground.
"You probably like a lot of things that I don’t like. And I probably like a lot of things that you don’t like…we can have these conversations.”
