Nella Rose, a prominent influencer and participant in "I'm A Celebrity," has showcased a significant weight loss, drawing attention and inquiries from her followers.
Rose, 29, shared new photographs on Instagram displaying her altered appearance, notably in a corset top. Her posts garnered a strong reaction, with fans expressing admiration and curiosity about her fitness regimen. "Please help the big girls in the chat out! How did we lose the weight!? Keto, walking, what?" one commenter asked, while another urged her to "DROP THE WORKOUT ROUTINE MOTHER."
In previous discussions, Rose had opened up about her weight fluctuations, detailing how she transitioned from a size 12 to a size 20 following her father's death in 2020. During her time in the "I'm A Celebrity" jungle in 2023, she explained to fellow contestant Grace Dent that a "lack of self-discipline" contributed to this weight gain. She described isolating herself at home for two months after her father's passing, consuming alcohol and food daily, a period that coincided with the pandemic lockdowns.
Rose, who was born Nella Rose Hollela, began her YouTube channel in 2015, initially focusing on hair tutorials and fashion advice. She is of Congolese heritage and moved to the UK from Belgium at age seven with her mother and older brother. In an effort to adopt a British accent, she would watch videos of hosts Ant and Dec while growing up in northwest London.
The influencer faced further tragedy in 2017 when her mother died unexpectedly. Shortly after, the local council repossessed the family home, leaving Rose and her brother without a permanent residence. She has shared that her mother died in her arms and that this was the most devastating event in her life. Facing eviction from her university accommodation, she relied on her student loan and YouTube earnings to cover rent, but was informed they had 30 days to vacate the premises. This period left her feeling homeless, living out of a suitcase and staying with friends, while traveling for brand collaborations to escape her reality.
At the age of 20, Rose rented her first flat in an affluent London area, incurring significant expenses to furnish it.
