<\/p>\nFred Sirieix's fianc\u00e9e, affectionately known as Fruitcake, has spoken out after the I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star had a tense exchange with fellow campmate Nella Rose.<\/p>\n
The First Dates star was confronted by Nella who felt "disrespected" and "offended" by comments he made, knowing about her family losses.<\/p>\n
Fruitcake took to social media to share her reaction to the uncomfortable scenes from Tuesday night's episode. <\/p>\n
She re-posted a message from Fred's Instagram story which read: "Tough watch for some of the show tonight but Fred did us so proud we know his intention would never be to upset anyone. Keep your head up Fred we love you".<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Nella opened up about her feelings on last night's show, telling the Bush Telegraph: "Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad. <\/p>\n
"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. I didn't say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it."<\/p>\n
She continued: "So I slept on it and I kind of thought about it and I was just like, this is not the kind of person I want to be around." <\/p>\n
Later in the episode, Nella was seen ignoring Fred when he called her, before she said: "Can you leave me alone?" Fred answered: "OK." He went on to ask: "What have I done to you?" Nella explained: "You know that my mum's dead, and you know that my dad's dead.<\/p>\n

"You know that, right? I've come to find out that every time I wanna get creative around the fire, or I want to have something my way, my own food that I am entitled to, my way, you tend to get an attitude, right? <\/p>\n
"So yesterday, when I wanted to burn fat that you were going to throw away anyways, it's not even something that we needed to survive in camp, you turned around to me, with an attitude and said, 'You know I could be your dad, right?'."<\/p>\n
"To me, I don't care how you said it to me, it's disrespectful and I don't want to talk to you. I don't want to be around you. I only allow people to disrespect me once. You hurt my feelings."<\/p>\n
Nella continued: "I was very upset… you keep trying to speak to me when I don't want to speak to you. I would rather stay away from you, I don't want to eat your food, I don't want to talk to you.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We can just live, you live on that side, I live on this side." She then called him a "weirdo" for "bringing up her dead dad".<\/p>\n
Fred was taken aback and quickly apologised: "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. I am unaware that what I said would lead to this conversation, I only said that in a way because I am older than you, I am 51 and you're 26."<\/p>\n
Nella responded: "I'm not stupid, you're not going to little girl me, you're not." Fred assured her: "Nella, it wasn't like that at all," swearing on his family's life. <\/p>\n
He added: "Either I made a mistake and I said something and I offended you, I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry you feel like this." YouTube star Nella said she accepted his apology but insisted Fred should "not talk" to her and suggested: "Let's not be friends".<\/p>\n
