Nella Rose caused chaos in the I’m A Celeb jungle back in 2023 with her headline-grabbing clashes and tearful exit.
Now the YouTube sensation is hoping to whip up something sweeter as she trades drama for dessert on The Great Celebrity Bake Off.
The Celebrity version of the Channel 4 reality show raises cash for Stand Up 2 Cancer.
Viewers are already bracing themselves for kitchen meltdowns.
A source said: “Nella’s a Channel 4 favourite and has done loads of digital channel. She is a big personality with a huge younger following and bosses are keen to tap into that.
“She proved she could be box office when she was on I’m A Celeb, but Bake Off chiefs think she’ll be able to show a different side to her personality in the tent and will be a lot of fun.”
OTHER CONTESTANTS
Sugababes star Mutya Buena is ready to Push The Button on a Kitchen Aid mixer after signing up.
Singers Rag’n’Bone Man and JoJo Siwa are also signing up to take part.
Strictly contestant Vicky Pattison has also joined the line-up, along with Molly-Mae Hague, Mark Wright, Edith Bowman, Jon Richardson and One Day actress Ambika Mod.
NELLA’S I’M A CELEB JOURNEY
Nella caused a stir in the jungle during her time on I’m A Celeb in 2023.
Viewers were left divided as the YouTube star didn’t hold back, delivering fiery one-liners and emotional outbursts that made her one of the most talked-about contestants of the season.
She famously clashed with her campmates, including Fred Sirieix, just days into the series.
Fred made a remark which seemingly offended Nella about his age, in which he told the social media star: “I am old enough to be your dad.”
Fred quickly apologised and Nella accepted, with a condition. Nella told Fred in the show: “I accept your apology, but let’s not be friends.”
She later told hosts Ant and Dec she didn’t think Fred considered the emotional weight of his remark.
Despite the drama, she built a strong fanbase and proved she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind.
NELLA’S NEW GIG
Nella landed a gig as the co-host of the Channel 4.0 show Boss Pitches.
She co-hosted a six-part series with fellow internet personality, GK Barry, 24.
The new series includes celeb guests who will be lending their time, experience and credentials to the budding entrepreneurs who are seeking their assistance in starting up their new businesses.
Celebrity guests include businesswoman and YouTuber Patricia Bright, 37, Konan, 34, from UK rap duo Krept and Konan, and podcasters James Duncan and Fuhad Dawodu of Shxts N Gigs.
Hannah Wesson, executive producer at BBC Studios Entertainment, said: “Nella Rose and GK Barry are the perfect duo to ‘boss it’ in the boardroom and we can’t wait for viewers to watch the show.”
