Friends of I'm A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star Nella Rose have hit back at claims she faked an illness to get out of the latest bushtucker trial.<\/p>\n

Instead, they have insisted that it was a medical emergency that saw her leave camp\u00a0to see a medic.<\/p>\n

Nella was ruled out of Wednesday night's trial as she was rushed to see the show medics.<\/p>\n

Viewers had been voting throughout the show for the Trial In Too Deep, which is an underwater task.<\/p>\n

But as Ant and Dec went into camp to reveal who will be taking on the challenge, Dec said: "Now, unfortunately, Nella is being seen by the medic, so she'll be back later, but it means she's now exempt from this trial.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cSo let's go in there and see who will be doing it." She was then nowhere to be seen on screen.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, fans flocked to social media to claim that she must have faked her illness.<\/p>\n

But one friend of Nella's said: "The idea that she was faking or trying to get out of the trial is unfair and untrue.<\/p>\n

"It was a minor medical emergency, and it happened just before the show.<\/p>\n

"They had to take her off to get looked at and couldn\u2019t get her back in time for the trial reveal."<\/p>\n

ITV have confirmed that the YouTube star returned to camp a few hours later.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nella\u2019s trip to the medics came after she faced yesterday\u2019s bushtucker trial, Dreaded Beds, alongside jockey Frankie Dettori.<\/p>\n

The duo failed to get anything from the trial and went back to camp empty-handed.<\/p>\n

During her time on the jungle show, she has faced her fair share of trials, but former I\u2019m A Celeb campmate Samantha Fox thinks that the 26 year old is \u201cplaying a game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking toCloser Magazine, she revealed: \u201cNella has driven me mad from the beginning. She's definitely playing a game and has got to get out, as she's not a team player. <\/p>\n

"She wants to blow everything out of proportion and just start an argument.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, her time in the jungle hasn\u2019t been easy, and at one point, she has even talked about quitting the show altogether.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In a conversation with her campmate Grace Dent \u2013 who has since left on medical grounds \u2013 in the first week, she explained: \u201cI\u2019ve never, ever in my life started something and finished it. Ever.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always quit, or I always sign on short term, or if I don\u2019t like it, I can leave. This is the one thing I said I\u2019m going to try and stick it through, but I can already see myself\u2026 if I get in my head too much\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
