I’M A Celebrity bosses fear more campmates may follow Grace Dent off the show after a string of events plunged the stars into even more misery.
Since the food critic quit on Monday after a series of gruelling challenges and nine days of tough camp life, conditions have worsened.
More storms have lashed the camp after a brief rain reprieve.
And rations are at an all-time low because influencer Nella Rose flunked out of another trial alongside Frankie Dettori.
The YouTuber, who has so far quit two challenges, had a chance to bring back food and treats — but completely messed it up, a source told The Sun.
She took on the Dreaded Bed challenge in a room of the Misery Motel full of snakes, alongside Frankie Dettori, but utterly failed.

It left camp feeling desperate, and bosses fear more stars could follow Grace’s example and quit.
A source said: “Nella and Frankie's trial fell flat.
“No coins or stars.
“What’s worse backstage is it was a two-month build to create that set and it’s resulted in a s*** trial.

“Her going back empty handed — and this awful weather — have left a real sense of misery.”
Even hosts Ant and Dec were raging at the lack of strategy, with Ant riffing: "I'm furious, what the hell is wrong with these people!
“All of you worked so hard on making that trial good!"
Nella is already at rock bottom after being voted by ITV viewers to take on a string of challenges, including two which she quit.
At the time, she said: “I’m sorry guys, I’m sorry.
“I’ve let myself down, I’ve let my team down.”
She had already revealed she thought about leaving when another camper — singer Britney Spears’ sister Jamie Lynn — considered walking away.
Nella told Grace: “I’ve never, ever in my life started something and finished it. Ever.
“I always quit.
“If Jamie left yesterday, I would have been right behind her.”
Later, Jamie Lynn sobbed and could be heard muttering: “I'm so miserable.
“I hate it here so much, I hate it here so much.
“This place is the place people go to have the worst days of their lives.
“I think I've got to leave.”
It means bookies now have Nella at odds of 4/1 to quit the series.
Grace arrived at Heathrow yesterday, after leaving the show on medical grounds.
Elsewhere on last night’s show, former boxer Tony Bellew, telly presenter Marvin Humes and Made in Chelsea’s Sam Thompson took on a series of challenges to try to win money to spend at a jungle vending machine.

The lads were triumphant, with Marvin finding ten out of the ten coins, then Tony and Sam seven.
But homesick Jamie Lynn was in tears last night after campmates bought chocolate rather than her luxury item — a photo of her kids.

WHILST ITV has found plenty of room for Nigel Farage’s bare bottom in the final cut, GB News claims the ex-Ukip boss has shared a number of tales of then-US President Donald Trump with campmates that have not made it to air. ITV says it cannot show every single conversation.
