This season’s I’m A Celebrity has had a rocky start, with disputes, dropouts, and trials, with one campmate generating quite a fuss.
Love her or despise her Nella Rose earned a name for herself in the jungle, from her screams during trials to her fight with the divisive Nigel Farage.
She was even brought to the hospital after being bitten by a snake, but her quarrel with Fred Sirieix seemed to have left a lasting effect on viewers.
The 26-year-old influencer spat with the First Dates presenter when he said he was old enough to be her father, which she took personally.
Nella’s father died a few years ago, and the campmate, who had lost her mother at a young age, is still grieving.
Seemingly, cardmakers MoonPig poked fun at Nella and created a birthday message which read: ‘I’m really offended that it’s your birthday.’

‘Yeah, never using @MoonpigUK ever again,’ posted one user who shared an image of the card in question, which depicts a cartoon person who looks suspiciously similar to Nella in a jungle setting.
It was slammed as ‘insensitive’ and ‘disgusting’, in light of Nella’s parental situation and clear trauma at the losses.
Another wrote: ‘So Nella’s going to come out of the jungle and see corporations like @MoonpigUK mocking the trauma she’s faced losing both of her parents recently? Cool.’
‘I don’t like Nella but even I think this is going too far. Surely she could sue Moon Pig for defamation of character,’ shared a third.
Some did think the card was just lighthearted fun, with one person writing: ‘They’re not mocking her trauma, they’re mocking the fact she was offended by a simple figure of speech. It’s really not that deep.’
Moonpig appears to have deleted the contentious card, although it still offers cards featuring Fred, Sam Thompson, and Ant & Dec.
