A TV insider told the Sun ahead of Nella Rose's appearance on I'm A Celeb: "If ITV can draw a fraction of her followers to the show - who are the particularly valuable young demographic - they will be thrilled.
"That's why signing up someone like Nella is a very shrewd move on the part of the I'm A Celebrity producers.
"She very much a 'millennial star' who's gained a profile through a very different means to all the other campmates who've been named so far."
Where is Nella Rose from?
Nella Rose was born in Belgium but now lives in London. She was born on 20 July 1997 and moved to the UK when she was seven years old.
She first started her YouTube channel when she was 18, but has taken a break from posting on the platform over the past year. Appearing on the Cocktails and Takeaways podcast, she told host Madame Joyce, "I've been on YouTube since I was 18 years old and I got to a stage where I was looking at my YouTube channel and I was like, 'How many times am I going to sit in my kitchen and talk about body counts', 'How many times am I going to sit with my girls in matching tops and talk about my man cheated what should I do?'...
"I got to a stage where I was like I've been on YouTube for a f***ing long time and I've been doing the same content, so I just removed myself from YouTube all altogether."
What languages does Nella Rose speak?
Nella Rose speaks French as well as English. She spoke French when she was growing up in Belgium, but learned to speak English fluently after moving to the UK.
