Evicted I’m A Celeb Nella Rose has reunited with her brother, who flew to Australia to be with her after she became the second housemate to be voted out of the jungle.
The 26-year-old influencer has postponed her TV appearance on ITV’s Lorraine, which was scheduled for Tuesday, after she needed a day of “rest and relaxation”.
Nella’s brother Albert, 27, landed at Brisbane airport hours after she was dumped by presenters Ant and Dec, with the star being met by no one as she crossed the show’s famous bridge.
Friends of Nella told Web she needed a day to “process” her time on the ITV series, which saw the presenter challenge politician Nigel Farage and take on Fred Sirieix.
It is understood Nella will join Lorraine on Wednesday’s show, but for now her priority is meeting her brother, who she had seen emotionally again after weeks in the Aussie camp.

Sam Thompson’s best pal Pete Wicks and Fred Sirieix’s fiancée, known as Fruitcake, greeted Nella with applause as she arrived at the Marriott Hotel on Australia’s Gold Coast
A source close to Nella told Web: “All Nella needs at the moment is a day to relax and process all the events from her time on I’m A Celeb.”
“Whilst she was absolutely thrilled with her experience, there was also a lot to digest and discuss with ITV and her team, but she did not feel ready to be interviewed by Lorraine on live television.”
“Her brother Albert arrived in Australia shortly after she was eliminated from the show and it means a lot to her to have him by her side.”
“As she crossed the I’m A Celeb bridge it may have looked like there was no one around to greet her, but her brother wasn’t far away.”
Ant and Dec revealed Nella had received the fewest votes from the public on Monday.
She was the second celebrity to leave the camp, after 52-year-old jockey Frankie Dettori, who blamed his exit on his lack of airtime.
Nella endured eight bushtucker trials during her time on the show, but her biggest challenge was living with the likes of former UKIP leader Nigel and First Dates star Fred.
The YouTuber’s relationship with Fred became strained after he said, “I could be your father,” during a conversation about their age difference, which drew a negative reaction from Nella, who lost her father in 2020.

While discussing Fred’s comment, Nella told Foodie: “To me it doesn’t matter how you said it, to me it’s disrespectful and I don’t want to talk to you. “I don’t want to talk to you, I don’t want to be in yours be close.
“I only allow people to respect me once.” Don’t mention my dead parents, are you stupid? “You know I could be your father, right? You’re a weirdo.”
After their disagreement, Nella and Fred made amends while participating in one of the show’s challenges.
But her fallout sparked debate among viewers, with some believing Nella overreacted while others empathized with the terrible loss she suffered.
Nella lost both parents, her father Paul Hollela died in May 2020 after contracting the coronavirus and her mother Eseho Omolongo died of a stroke in August 2016.
She was left homeless after she and her brother Albert were given just 30 days to vacate their London flat following the tragic death of their mother.
