‘Real reason’ behind Fern and Nikita’s shock feud revealed by fans as they say ‘it’s so obvious’
CELEBRITY Big Brother fans are convinced they’ve worked out the “real reason” for Fern Britton and Nikita Kuzmin’s shock feud as they “obviously” have beef.
A sneak-peak reveals former This Morning presenter Fern Britton and Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin will come to blows tonight.
Fern and Nikita’s feud is heating up tonight
In a sneak-peak from tonight’s episode, Fern and Nikita get into in front of their housemates while playing a game on the sofa area inside the huge lounge in the ITV house.
Fern begins by pouring Nikita a drink but then starts making subtle digs at her Celebrity Big Brother co-star.
She commented: “You and I get on alright when we’re playing games. Can I tell you? How old are you now?”
Nikita replied to the legendary broadcaster as he confirmed he was 26-years-old.
Fern couldn’t help but reply: “When you’re 66, you’ll have exactly the same brain, which is why you have to understand that I’ve still got a 26-year-old brain.”
He then declared how he was feeling utterly confused by her reflective comments.
Fern then clarified herself, fully explaining to the young dancer what she meant by her initial comment.
“You shouldn’t be confused. You never change your brain,” she admitted.
“Everything is hilarious – all bum jokes, all c**k jokes. Everything is still as it is when you’re 66.”
Nikita was still left feeling utterly perplexed. He asked the best-selling author whether they are “having a beef?”
Fern replied: “I’m just saying never look at an old person and think they’re old. We’re still in our heads 26.
“When you said to me the other day, you were very sweet. ‘I like your stripy top. Stripes are in fashion, Fern.’ Bless you, you were passing me a compliment but also saying ‘actually they’re in fashion’ as if it was a surprise to me. It wasn’t a surprise.”
Celebrity Big Brother: who's left?
Who are the stars who have survived in the Celebrity Big Brother house? The Sun's Jamie Downham takes a look...
GOING STRONG
Louis Walsh – The boyband manager, who’s has never knowingly backed down from a fight, regularly trends for for his outrageous remarks
Fern Britton – The former This Morning star called out Phillip Schofield – but has seemed like a kind and gentle soul in the house
Colson Smith – You’ll probably know him best as Corrie’s Craig Tinker – but prepare to find out he’s not much like his character
David Potts – Ibiza Weekender’s breakout star has left that show behind – as well as his trousers by the look of things
Marisha Wallace – It’s not CBB without the role of ‘American who doesn’t know what they’ve let themselves in for’ and she’s doing brilliantly
Nikita Kuzmin – The Strictly pro is coming onto the show fresh off the show’s tour. Poor lad probably just wants a rest
Zeze Millz – the social media star has a “no holds barred interview style” – and she hasn’t backed away from calling people (well, Louis) out
Bradley Riches – The actor played kindly James McEwan in Netflix hit Heartstopper and he seems just as sweet in the house
HEADED HOME
Gary Goldsmith – Kate Middleton’s uncle was a big signing for ITV, but he was booted out first after failing to impress viewers
Sharon Osbourne – TV legend was a “house guest” on a megabucks deal and an ensuite bedroom, but disappeared after nine days
Lauren Simon – Real Housewives of Cheshire star was the second person to leave. The stars put her up for eviction and the public did the rest
Levi Roots – The Reggae Reggae Sauce inventor delivered some spice, but got evicted third in a double-dumping with Ekin-Su
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu – After ruffling a few feathers and getting involved in a spat with Marisha, this Love Island star was sent packing by fans
Nikita quickly explained that he was just trying to pay Fern a compliment, but she wasn’t having any of it.
Fans were quick to call out the exchange and point out that Fern and Nikita’s feud seems pretty one-sided.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, many fans agreed that Fern doesn’t like Nikita because he’s nominated her for elimination so many times.
“Fern is bitter because Nikita nominated her. Not a good look,” one CBB fan said.
“Fern being extremely patronising and finding any excuse to argue with Nikita. She seems very entitled! He was clearly just giving her a compliment,” agreed another.
“Part of me thinks that Fern is only targeting Nikita because he’s voted for her 3 times in the nominations and she’s pissed off about it,” another commented.
They continued: “She’s showing ageist traits and is coming across as patronising here. Just like Louis was with Bradley at the start of the series.”
Like fans, the other housemates present were left utterly cringing, as Zeze Millz was seen seeing further into her drink and out of viewer during their exchange.
Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight on ITV1 at 9pm.
