I'm a Celeb rocked by race row after latest public vote

I’m a Celeb rocked by race row after only two black contestants Nella Rose and fan favourite Marvin Humes receive the lowest public votes

I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here is rocked by a race row after the only two black contestants Nella Rose and Marvin Humes receive the lowest votes from the public.

The TikTok sensation, 26, was the second celebrity to be eliminated from the jungle this year and was widely disliked by fans but JLS’s Marvin Humes, 38, has been a fan favourite throughout the show.

When the votes were being read out by hosts Ant and Dec, viewers were confused when Marvin and Nella were both in the bottom two and were quick to point out it was a matter of race.

One person wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘Nella and Marvin bottom two? ‘In a camp that has public enemy number one Fred Sirieix and Nigel Farage?

‘The UK is hella racist.’

Another wrote: ‘Marvin and Nella? What is wrong with the British public?

Saw people call her an elephant and everything, these people need to take a look in the mirror and realise that Fred and Nigel have been horrible to most of the campers.’

But other viewers have hit back and said: ‘It’s not about race it’s about personality , Marvin is lovely Nella is not.’

Marvin now is in the top two campers with the highest odds of leaving the Jungle, alongside First Dates’ Maitre’d, Fred Sirieix.

It comes after Fred, 51, was slammed by viewers for his ‘unbearable’ and ‘misogynist’ behaviour towards Josie Gibson’s cooking skills as camp chef.

The French Maitre’d has been constantly berating the This Morning host’s cooking skills after she was chef over him and it has become the main feature of the show.

One person wrote: ‘I was a really big fan before he went on the show but now he’s really annoying me. Like back off from Josie.

While Sunday’s episode was airing, Marvin’s wife Rochelle Humes was at London’s Royal Albert Hall for the British Fashion Awards 2023.

However, the TV presenter, 34, ditched the star-studded event early and rushed home to get ready to catch her flight to Australia, in the hopes that she will make it there on time to greet her husband.

Viewers at home were in disbelief that Marvin had ended up in the bottom two of the public vote, thinking that he would’ve been safe over other campmates.

One person took to Twitter to ask: ‘Someone explain why Marvin was in the bottom 2’ while another echoed: ‘WHY WAS MARVIN IN THE BOTTOM TWO??????’

A third fan wrote: ‘Get Marvin some more screen time. Can’t believe he was in the bottom two! He’s such a good guy’.

Someone else agreed, tweeting: ‘what do you mean “marvin…. it might be you”… and still not nigel??? gave two of my votes to marvin. he cant leave yet.. he needs to be in the final with sam’.

And another admitted: ‘heart actually dropped when they said it may have been marvin, that man deserves to stay to the end’.

Rochelle took to her Instagram Stories from her car after leaving the awards to inform her followers that she was making her way Down Under to greet Marvin when he leaves the jungle.

She said: ‘I have literally rushed out of the Fashion Awards. I only got to watch a few and I’m on my way to go and support my boy. Come on, I’ve got to! 

‘So I’m literally going to watch and vote. I’m putting this on here now to remind you all to vote to save him and I am then going go to the airport and fly and make my way to Oz.

‘I’ve never been to Australia before. Fun fact, I’m actually scared of flying. So for the very first time ever flying to Australia, I’m gonna be doing it on my own. Which is very interesting. 

‘But yeah, I just wanted to remind you to vote to save him because I’m making my way to the bridge and I don’t want him on it before I get there!’
