Venezuela Fury responds to backlash after quitting ITV I’m A Celebrity spin-off with husband Noah Price
Venezuela Fury has responded to a wave of online negativity following her early departure from I’m A Celebrity: The Wild Frontier alongside husband, Noah Price.
The 16-year-old and Noah, who tied the knot in May, left the ITV spin-off after spending just three days in the Canadian wilderness.
Their exit sparked backlash on social media, with critics taking aim at the couple for reportedly retaining their appearance fees despite walking away from the programme.
Venezuela took to TikTok to confront the backlash, posting a holiday photograph alongside the words: “Gypsy girls are only good for getting married and being mothers.”

The teenager’s departure was prompted by illness during production at Whistler Olympic Park in Canada.
According to a source quoted by The Sun: “Venezuela became really unwell while she was filming. It was really awful for her.
“She had been vomiting and it got worse as the hours went on. Venezuela was being so brave and tried to tough it out but ultimately, she didn’t feel like she could continue.”

They added: “Noah was hugely supportive of her and just wanted her to be okay. Everyone in the camp and everyone working on the show were amazing.
“They understood totally. It’s just one of those things.”
Medical staff examined Venezuela once she had left camp, after which the couple headed back to their hotel.
In a subsequent TikTok video, Venezuela gave followers an update on her condition, revealing she had come down with a cold and developed two cold sores.

During their brief time on the programme, the couple had tackled a nerve-shredding abseil known as the Dreaded Drop and an endurance task called Bear Watch, which required contestants to complete a series of gruelling overnight challenges.
Conditions in camp mirrored the Australian series, with wooden slat beds and sleeping bags the only comfort on offer. Contestants also had to store all food in a secure bear locker to avoid attracting wildlife.
Venezuela has already laid the groundwork for her next chapter, having quietly established her own company last month to manage future earnings.

A source told The Sun: “Venezuela might still be young, but she’s switched on. Her career is being carefully mapped out, and in the coming months her fans will see that coming to fruition.”
She and Noah are both on the books of The Can Group, the talent agency that also represents her mother Paris, Peter Andre and his family, and Amy Childs.
Meanwhile, the remaining celebrity pairs, including Rio and Kate Ferdinand, Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy, and Christopher Dean and Karen Barber, continue to battle it out in the Canadian wilderness.
The programme, hosted by Ant and Dec, is expected to broadcast next year, culminating in a live final from London.
