I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! viewers were not impressed with a conversation between Nella Rose and Josie Gibson.
The YouTuber, 26, and This Morning host, 38, were talking about’real guys’ and how being at camp has’restored their faith’.
While the discussion was lighthearted, several viewers accused them of’reversing advances in male mental health by a few years.’
Their conversation occurred after Nella and Josie observed Fred Sirieix, for example, collecting wood for the fire first thing in the morning to start camp going for the day.
‘I love our boys,’ Josie said, with Nella agreeing that they are ‘so useful’.
‘This is what chivalry is,’ said the daytime presenter.
‘The men are supposed to go out, hunt, get the wood, make the fire, while the women keep the vibes,’ Nella responded.
‘That’s how it should be! This is what the Suffragettes were fighting for,’ added the influencer, with her and Josie bursting out laughing.
‘It’s given me faith in men again,’ Josie added.
‘But, do you think these are old-fashioned men?’, asked Nella. ‘Imagine if it was a bunch of men my age, they’d be like, “Why are we the only ones getting the wood, bruv? Why are we the only ones getting the water? Like, the girls can’t? Why can’t we go 50-50?” These are real men.’
‘These are real men,’ Josie reiterated.
Speaking passionately in the Bush Telegraph, Nella declared that ‘this camp has 100% restored my faith in men, macho men.’
‘They even cook,’ she said excitedly. ‘Hunters, gatherers, the women are just here to bear children at this point! That’s it! I love it here, I do.’
Back in conversation with Josie, they joked about the guys in camp being ‘the Hercules kind.’
‘They can’t do enough for you. They’re so nice, they are gentlemen,’ said Josie to the cameras.
While the conversation was all in good fun, it irritated a lot of individuals.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one viewer wrote: ‘Not a fan of the “real men” comments from Josie and Nella in regards to the men doing all the work around camp – imagine if two guys watched the girls cook dinner and said “yeah these are real women”‘.
‘Nella and Josie embarrassing themselves with the “real men” comment’, blasted another.

Wow Nella. In one statement about ‘real men’, you push progression in male mental health back a good few years.#ImaCeleb

Others accused Nella and Josie of ‘contradicting feminism’ and said the idea of ‘real men’ is ‘toxic’.
‘Real men come in many forms’, argued one viewer.
Others, however, understood Nella and Josie’s point of view.
‘Watch fiat 500 complain about Nella saying the guys are real men’, one person joked, followed by an eye-rolling emoji.
Nella has been a big subject of talk pretty much since the minute she arrived at camp, having been chosen to participate in the majority of the gruelling challenges.
Speaking of Fred from First Dates, she had a run-in with him early on, accusing him of making an insensitive remark about her late father.
While they are now back on track, Nella originally refused to eat Fred’s meals or even talk to him for the duration of her visit.
Meanwhile, Josie has found herself in some… intriguing situations.
Josie walked in on Nigel Farage bathing… nude… with his bottom out… in full front of her, in sights she’ll probably never be able to forget.
Josie and viewers were both terrified, and the GB News anchor has been accused of acting up in front of cameras in order to gain more airtime and votes.
