Coral’s John Hill, explained: ‘We don’t think Nella will survive the opening public vote on I’m A Celeb this year, so she is the favourite to leave ahead of Frankie and Nick respectively.’
He added: ‘Sam continues to shine in the jungle, and he is now odds-on to be crowned King of the Jungle.’
Last night, the public were able to vote between snakes, rats, frogs, spiders and cockroaches to be put in boxes with Nigel Farage, Nella, Sam Thompson, Tony Bellew and Nick Pickard.
After it was announced the voting lines were open, viewers flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to encourage others to vote spiders for the TikTok star because she admitted to her fear of them.
One person wrote: ‘Obviously we’re all voting for Nella Rose to go in with spiders… right everyone?’
But when fans went on the app to pick for Nella, there was no option for spiders but, instead, two buttons with snakes on.
One person wrote: ‘Why can’t we vote for spiders for Nella? It’s got two snake votes but no spiders! FIXED!!’
Another person added: ‘No options for spiders for Nella Rose… I wonder why.’

The series has been plagued with fixing claims from viewers surrounding Nella Rose.
It took little more than 48 hours, however, before her combative personality emerged during a row with camp mate Fred in the incident which has now been called ‘Dadgate’.
The First Dates star had quipped that he needed laser eye surgery because ‘I’m old enough to be your dad’.
Nella said she felt ‘disrespected’ and ‘offended’ because Sirieix knew her father had died in 2020.
She subsequently refused to look at him and declared they would no longer ‘be friends’ in the camp.
Her comments prompted uproar among viewers, with the older audience baffled as to why Sirieix’s comment was enough to trigger such an explosive response.
Nella was back in the eye of the storm the following day when she clashed with another of her jungle co-stars, Nigel.
On Wednesday’s episode, she accused the Reform party co-founder of being anti-immigration, saying he wanted people like her ‘gone’ from the UK while discussing his policies to reduce immigration.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here has sparked almost 2,000 complaints to broadcasting regulator Ofcom over Nella’s clashes with her campmates.
Ofcom have told MailOnline that the TikTok star has been at the centre of the majority of complaints about the ITV show in the ten days it has been on air.
On Tuesday, influencer Nella was removed from camp to be treated by on-site medics, sparking fears she’d also quit the show.
Insiders have now confirmed she sought treatment for a ‘physical medical emergency,’ with the timing deemed ‘unfortunate’ as she had to be seen urgently during the live segment of the show.
The emergency was not linked to any injury sustained in a trial. Just hours before her removal from camp, the social media star was tended to by animal handlers after a snake wrapped itself around her during her latest trial.
A source has told The Sun: ‘It was unfortunate timing that Nella had to be taken out of camp just before the live scenes.’
‘She had to be seen by the team with a physical, medical emergency but it was dealt with swiftly.
‘Nella has had a rough time so far but she is a tough cookie and will be back smiling and laughing with the other campmates in no time – this wasn’t anything to do with her mental health.’
An ITV spokesperson confirmed to MailOnline that Nella has since rejoined the camp after her visit to the medic on Wednesday morning, Australian time.

‘During last night’s live broadcast, Nella Rose required medical treatment on site and was deemed unable to take part in the trial. Nella has since rejoined camp,’ they confirmed.
Nella was noticeably absent in Tuesday night’s live segment of the show which was filmed between 7am and 8am on Wednesday morning in Australia.
Earlier in the episode, the public voted Nella in for her sixth Bushtucker Trial alongside the champion jockey Frankie Dettori but viewers claimed they missed out on winning any stars because of how slow Nella was.
