FORMER Celebrity Big Brother housemate Nicola McLean has revealed that she has been BLOCKED by one of this year’s show finalists online.
The glamour model famously took part in the reality TV show twice during it’s years on – once in 2012 before returning in 2017.
But has been caught up in a surprise ‘feud’ with one of this year’s housemates on the ITV reboot.
Speaking to the Mirror, Nicola admitted that Drag Race UK winner and podcaster has her blocked on social media.
Nicola admitted she had no idea why Danny had snubbed her, telling the outlet: “I absolutely loved him! I always said he was my winner.
“I love a gay, we know this. I’m so part of the LGBTQ+ community, I absolutely support it.
“But here’s the kicker, he blocked me onInstagram.
“I was shocked. I hadn’t posted anything bad, only support.”;
Nicola then speculated that it could have been for a number of reasons on Danny’s behalf but admitted it was “disappointing”; to discover that she was barred from interacting with him online.
She said: “I think maybe his management did it or maybe he has a filter for certain words, but I hadn’t even tagged him yet!
“I was so tempted to email and ask why supporting someone would get me blocked, but then I thought – what’s the point?
“Still, it was disappointing.”;
Elsewhere, Nicola took issue with the amount of money the contestants are paid for the show.
Known for being TV’s biggest payday, she argued that housemates should be paid depending on how entertaining they are.
This year’s winner, Jack P Shepherd, who Nicola insisted was “undeserving”;, was handed £100,000 for his stint.
In comparison, banked a cool £400,000 whilst got £45,000 with Danny Beard taking home just £30k.
was due to get a £500,000 payout but saw his fee slashed when he was ejected with the star likely being paid no more than £50,000.
Nicola said: “I think they should change how they do fees – it should reward the most entertaining.
“People lie about fees all the time. Someone once said I got £7,500 for I’m A Celebrity—I called the journalist and asked, ‘Where the hell did you get that from?’ No one does it for that little.”;
“But back to the point – it’s wrong to go in there, sit around, and just take the money.
“You’ve been put there to entertain!”;
Nicola appeared on the show for the first time in 2012 alongside and Frankie Cocozza.
However, it was her stint in 2017 where she clashed with that became her most memorable.
Nicola regularly rowed with Kim and was seen in a heated confrontation most nights with her co-star.
