It's only just begun, and this year's series of I'm A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here! is already bringing the drama.
We've already seen controversies with Nigel Farage's appearance fee and Jamie Lynn Spears' 'claim to fame.'
But now, it's YouTube star Nella Rose who's in the spotlight.

She recently caused serious drama after a blow up with First Dates star Fred Sirieix.
On Tuesday's episode of I'm A Celebrity, Fred make a passing comment to Nella about being old enough to be her father.
Later, Nella told the Bush Telegraph: "Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad.
"I took offence to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad’s passed away."
Even though Fred apologised and explained he didn't mean to cause offense, Nella told the maître d'hôtel to 'leave her alone', before branding him a 'weirdo'.
Later in the show, Nella went on to open up about how the death of her father had impacted her.
Speaking to food critic Grace Dent, she said: "Literally my dad passed, I locked myself in the house for two months, I drank every single day and ate every single day and I gained it all and it was pandemic.
"I used to have so much discipline but that was when I was in a bad space. Lack of self discipline got me from a size 12 to a size 20."
Nella then discussed how her grieving has impacted her life, saying she no longer feels the need to do things she isn't enjoying.
She revealed: “When I was younger I was put in a lot of situations that I had no control over. I was sad and miserable.
"So now that I have the control over my happiness and the things I want to do I think I’m kind of, I’ve become obsessed with it: ‘Oh, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.’"
This attitude has led Nella to question her place in the jungle.
She explained: “I’ve never, ever in my life started something and finished it - ever.
"I always quit, or I always sign on short term or if I don’t like it I can leave… this is the one thing I said I’m going to try and stick it through but I can already see myself… if I get in my head too much…”
She also revealed Jamie Lynn's threats to quit the show had planted a seed in her mind, too.
Nella even admitted: “If Jamie left yesterday I would have been right behind her… I’m leaving. I just don’t want to be the first.”
