ITV Big Brother star admits she shut Emma Willis down after ‘offensive’ comparison

Celebrity Big Brother star Nicola McLean recalled the moment she shut down former host Emma Willis.

This came during her eviction chat during the 2017 series – in which she constantly clashed with Kim Woodburn. In her post-exit chat, Emma asked: “Do you think maybe you’re quite similar?”

To which Nicola cried out: “Don’t you dare – wash your mouth out!” Emma then added: “I mean in the respect that, you’re both very vocal, you’re both very opinionated and neither of you will back down.”

Nicola was having none of it and said: “OK, but hold on a minute, hold on a minute there. I’ll tell you where we differ is because I’m not insane in my argument, I’m sane.

“She argues a point that’s not a point. And she says she hasn’t said something but she clearly has. And then even when we watched it back, she would still go ‘Well, I don’t think I said that’. You were there on the screen saying it!”

Speaking of the moment to Daily Star, Nicola said: “I couldn’t believe it, absolutely not! We are absolutely nothing alike whatsoever. That is offensive! But I love Emma, we’ve worked together on a lot of shows, when I was in the jungle and on BOTS, I think she was a great Big Brother host.”

Nicola described the shoe as one of the most fun experiences of her life but said it did become quite “anxiety-inducing” sometimes. The mum-of-two explained: “I know it sounds really odd but it’s the most fun you’ll have in your life and then also like the most anxiety-inducing experience you’ll have in your life.

“It’s just highs and lows that you would never experience before but the highs are really funny. It’s a bizarre place to be, but never knowing what’s going to happen is not good for many people.”

Big Brother airs Sunday to Thursday on ITV2 and ITVX at 9pm followed by Big Brother Late & Live at 10pm
