IT hasn’t even been one week inside the Celebrity Big Brother house but already the star contestants are beginning to turn on each other.
The 22nd (and potentially final) series of the long running reality show kicked off on Thursday night as a string of stars from the UK and USA entered the CBB house in hopes of being crowned the nation’s favourite star.
But a political task the contestants were forced to participate in awoke a bitter divide between CBB House ‘President’ Kirstie Alley and Bad Girls Club star Natalie Nunn.
The drama unfolded when Kirstie (who was appointed the ‘President’ of the CBB house during the launch night) was tasked with picking a “new Head of Defence” to supervise a house task.
“The person you pick will be responsible for overseeing the construction of a magnificent wall that will keep outsiders out of the house and away from Big Brother’s green cards,” Big Brother instructed the actress – who settled upon Nick Leeson because “he has been in prison so he knows a lot about walls”.
The task then saw Nick – who was sentenced to six and a half years in a Singaporian jail after pleading guilty to fraud in the 1990s – supervising the other CBB contestants in building a giant Lego wall.
The challenge was a satirical challenge aimed to lampoon the current President Donald Trump administration in America – who pledged to build a giant wall along the border of Mexico.
Natalie takes offence to the task due to the sensitive subject that it is based upon.
“This is the biggest controversy in our country right now,” she seethes to a fellow CBB contestant.
And it would seem the task awoke Natalie’s indigestible disgust for Kirstie’s political allegiance.
“She’s a f***ing Trump supporter that’s what’s controversy, that’s why she hasn’t said anything,” the reality star spat.
As tensions bubbled over, Natalie wanted to make it clear to everyone in the house that she was not a fan of former Cheers star Kirstie.
Refusing to take part in the task, Natalie fumed: “I’m not, I’m just not building the wall.”

Turning attention to Kirstie, she raged: “The president is disgusting. I officially don’t like the Big Brother House President.”
The outcome of the argument can be seen on Celebrity Big Brother which airs on Channel 5 at 9pm.
