However, in January this year, the TV star admitted that the show had put her off online dating. She told The Mirror: “From the last series I’ve been saying, ‘Oh, I’ve never done that in my life!’.”
The Catfish presenter explained: “I’ve seen the result first hand in real life.”
“I personally am too scared to put myself in this situation because I’m a lover, I’m a Cancer. Imagine if I fell in love with you and you weren’t a real person? I don’t know what I would do with myself. Like, what?”

Family tragedy
Nella Rose lost her father in 2020, just a few years after her mother’s death.
The devoted daughter paid tribute to her late father on social media and took photos of them together.
She wrote on Instagram: “Rest in peace dad. Watching you suffer for the last month has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but at least you’re not in pain anymore.”
“I will make you the proudest father ever for years to come because I know you are still by my side every step of the way.”

Rose grew up watching I’m A Celebrity and revealed that’s why she immediately told TV bosses she was up for the challenge.
She also shared her family’s hilarious reaction to her appearance on the show.
“My family have been laughing hysterically since I told them I was taking part,” she said. “And they asked me why I agreed to it, but I’ve been watching I’m A Celebrity since I was a kid.” I still remember Ian Wright being locked in a room with an ostrich. “It’s so iconic and that’s why I said yes straight away.”
“I’m just really excited to be going to camp and being on I’m A Celebrity,” she added. “I highly doubt I will win, but if I did I would be shocked. It would be great if I came to the Cyclone test because I think it would be fun to try out the big water slide.”
Jungle Weaknesses

Leaving her home comforts behind, Rose revealed what she’ll miss her sugar cravings and her cell phone.
However, she is ready to embrace the slow pace of jungle life, which she is not used to due to her busy social media and television career.
She said: “I am addicted to many things. I can’t eat anything without eating something sweet afterwards. I’m addicted to honey roasted nuts and carbonated orange drinks, but I’m kind of excited to reshape my taste buds. You.” I never know, I might even have rice and beans when I get back!
“I will miss my phone, but it will be very refreshing to step away from my life and relax. I never relax, my phone is always ringing and I have a busy schedule. I’m looking forward to slowing down now.”
While she doesn’t want to make any preparations before entering the jungle, Nella said she wants to take in everything about the jungle.
However, she admitted that she has many phobias that she is likely to encounter during her jungle experience.
She added: “I’m scared of everything, from red ants, tarantulas to rats and ostriches. One time a long-legged dad flew into my room and I moved out. I was living in my living room and my family thinks something is about to happen to me.” a shock.
“I’m terrified but I’m trying to think about the bigger picture. In this life you have to face your fears. Yes, I could scream all the time, but I’m going to think about feeding people and that’s what I’m going to do to do my best.
Unsurprisingly, there is no trial she is particularly looking forward to. “Who wants to eat kangaroo balls and a crocodile eye? I don’t feel like taking the exams.”
