How new Big Brother feud doesn’t come close to infamous ‘fight night’ and ferocious bust-ups with stars STILL at war now
THE epic rows and petty fights are a prime reason why loyal Big Brother fans kept tuning in over the years.
And there’s already a so-called feud brewing in the new series on ITV, between Kerry, 40, and Farida, 50.
For this week’s shopping task the house turned into a company called Big Bros Ltd, with one group – the Big Wigs – at the top taking on the main decisions, and another – Middle Management – controlling the ‘Bottom’ group.
Kerry and Farida have been placed in the ‘office’ as middle managers and soon clashed over how to divvy up tasks for the Bottoms.
Within hours of working together Kerry took a “toilet break” but ended up crying in the bedroom, telling Big Brother’s Diary Room about Farida: “She doesn’t get me.”
But it’s got nothing on some of the furious fall-outs that have gone down on Big Brother in the past as we reveal…
Nasty Nick v Craig
The first series of Big Brother, all the way back in 2000, gave us ‘Nasty Nick’ Bateman.
The nation gave him the nickname when he was uncovered passing notes and trying to sway nominations.
His ‘crimes’ became a national talking point – even the Prime Minister addressed it – despite the fact, looking back, all he’d done was write some names down on a piece of paper.
Craig Phillips confronted him in very tense scenes, telling him: “You’re plotting a very dirty plan in here.”
Nick was asked to leave the house by Big Brother, having broken the rules, and Craig was eventually crowned the winner.
The feud was reignited by Craig 20 years later when he claimed he visited Nick in Australia and accused him of telling “lie after lie”.
Nick tweeted in response: “It’s funny that the people you invite to your house to stay for free, and take time out to see when they visit you in another country, are the ones to throw under the bus for a few £.”
‘Fight Night’
Series five of Big Brother, in 2004, delivered the Fight Night to end all Fight Nights – with producers forced to call in security, one housemate kicked out and the live-stream pulled off air.
It all started during a fancy dress party, after Emma Greenwood and Michelle Bass rejoined the house as a surprise, having been hiding in the bedsit next door all week, unbeknownst to the rest of the housemates.
Victor Ebuwa and Jason Cowan weren’t happy to see them and it escalated into a booze-fuelled riot.
Many housemates defended Emma and Michelle, and a food fight broke out.
But Emma took it too far when she hurled a metal plate at Victor, screaming: “I’m going to f*****g kill you”.
Security was called in and Emma and Victor were separated, with the former locked in the bedsit. She never returned to the main house.
Grace and Nikki v Susie
Any true Big Brother fan knows the late Nikki Grahame’s “Who is she?” Diary Room rant off by heart.
She was talking about Susie Verrico, who’d just nominated her and Grace Adams-Short for eviction.
While that 2006 rant is iconic, the nominations also led to Grace and Nikki plotting revenge against her, stealing her champagne during the week, among other things.
Grace was eventually evicted by the public that week – and as she left, she chucked a glass of water over her nemesis as a parting shot.
Spitgate
In 2008, the ninth series of Big Brother saw a huge argument erupt throughout the house, ending with one housemate, Dennis, being kicked out for unacceptable behaviour.
It all started with Rex Newmark smudging pizza on a painting Jennifer Clark had painted earlier in the week, as part of a task.
Jennifer was upset and many of the housemates rushed to her defence, with Stuart claiming Rex smeared the painting out of “spite,” while Mohamed Mohamed argued it was “just a painting”.
Rebecca started questioning Mohamed’s involvement in the argument at this point, screaming “f**k off” at him several times while Dennis McHugh tried to restrain her.
Dennis then appeared to spit in Mohamed’s face – although this was never seen by viewers. The live-stream was cut, and viewers heard the sound of spitting.
Dennis was promptly ejected from the house for ‘unacceptable behaviour’.
Charley v Chanelle
Charley Uchea and Chanelle Hayes were constantly at each other’s throats in series eight of Big Brother.
But their biggest row was over pop star Rihanna’s age, of all things – and it escalated so much they had to be separated by Ziggy Lichman and Brian Belo.
While they discussed how old they though the Umbrella singer was, Charley blurted out: “You’re the most boringest person in the house.”
Chanelle hit back: “I’m glad you feel that way. Is that all you can say? Because that’s all you say to every single person every single time you have an argument with them.”
After a lot of screaming and swearing, she added: “Charley, to be quite honest I’m sick of conversations where everything gets turned around to what you think and it’s about you.”
The pair continued fighting until they were eventually separated.
Isabelle v Lotan
Big Brother 18 saw a huge argument erupt when the housemates were given alcohol and then asked to describe each other’s personality traits.
What could go wrong?
Lotan Carter and eventual winner Isabelle Warburton started fighting with each other when she questioned whether he was a role model to his child.
Magic Mike star Lotan threw a drink, but it ended up hitting another housemate, Hannah Agboola, instead.
Within seconds, she and her sister Deborah Agboola started going for Lotan, but his friend Ellie Young threatened to attack them both.
Ellie and Lotan were both held back by security, but Lotan was kicked out for “unacceptable behaviour” having thrown the drink in the first place.
Chanelle v Kayleigh
The 2017 series of Big Brother had more than its fair share of rows, and it wasn’t just Lotan who got kicked out for fighting.
Kayleigh Morris was also thrown out after a huge row erupted between her and Chanelle McCleary.
The fight saw Kayleigh screaming at Chanelle “I’ll smash your f*****g face in,” while angrily pushing chairs out of the way.
After she left, Kayleigh moaned Chanelle was being “aggressive” and it wasn’t fair she’d been ejected.
