Celebrity Big Brother feud as fans claim ‘they can’t stand each other’
EAGLE-EYED CBB fans believe they’ve spotted a simmering feud between two former contestants.
Lauren Simon and Ali Bromley both appeared together on ITV CBB spin-off show Late and Live, with viewers suggesting the palpable tension between them, clearly showed the pair do not get on.
One Celebrity Big Brother fan said: “I just knew Ali and Lauren wouldn’t get on. You could tell they couldn’t stand each other.”
With another suggested the differing personalities of the two women is why they didn’t see eye-to-eye, writing: “I think it’s because Ali is more reserved whilst Lauren is very boisterous, and both have different viewpoints.”
While another believed generational differences between Real Housewives of Cheshire star, 53-year-old Lauren, and 39-year-old forensic psychologist Ali, were to blame, compounded by Lauren defending actor Mickey Rourke‘s behaviour.
That’s despite Hollywood star Mickey, being booted out on Saturday, after squaring up to fellow former Love Island contestant Chris Hughes, having previously been warned about homophobic remarks towards another housemate, Jojo Siwa.
The viewer said: “To me it kinda seemed like Lauren is from that older generation that LOVES to excuse inappropriate behaviour from older men (she even said it’s no secret she loves Mickey).
“And gives them the benefit of the doubt everytime they do something unacceptable (“oh he’s just old” “he didn’t mean it” etc)
“Whilst it’s more clear that Ali understands that’s a grown man who has been excused way too many times that his behaviour has been allowed to slide for too long.
“And that’s just not how she lives, which she showed in the house that she has no time for inexcusable toxic masculinity.”
Lauren and Ali were appearing on Late and Live, which is hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, alongside last year’s CBB winner David Potts, and this year’s first evictee Michael Fabricant, as well as BB 2023 winner Jordan Sangha, and his boyfriend Henry Southan.
Lauren, who was a contestant on last year’s CBB alongside Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, also made a surprise return to CBB in Sunday night’s episode, when she appeared as a guest for a shopping task.
Ali, a forensic psychologist from London, triumphed on last year’s Big Brother and walked away with a £90,000 prize.
Reality TV star Lauren, who’s also appeared on Channel 4 show Celebrity First Dates, was evicted from last year’s Big Brother house on day nine, becoming the second housemate to be booted off.
