Former co-stars Denise Welch and Fern Britton seemingly didn’t strike up a friendship away from work, as the Loose Women panelist continues to take swipes at the Celebrity Big Brother star
Denise Welch seemingly won’t be voting for Fern Britton to win Celebrity Big Brother on Friday night, as the Loose Women star continues to throw some subtle shade Fern’s way on social media.
Rumours of a feud between the two women began earlier this week, thanks to Denise appearing to take aim at Fern on Twitter (X). As Fern received a bit of backlash from Celebrity Big Brother fans, former Coronation Street star Denise tweeted: “The mask is slip sliding away #CBBUK.”
Fans were quick to suspect Fern was the housemate Denise was referring to with her tweet, with one replying to the star and declaring: “There’s something about her that’s very insincere to me. I don’t know her though but there’s just something, can’t put my finger on it.”
Denise, who won the Channel 5 version of Celebrity Big Brother back in 2012, has also been liking negative tweets about Fern, including one which reads: “Please get Fern out can’t stand the fake crying anymore.” Another critical tweet liked by Denise reads: “Fern again being passive aggressive, she does it in a low tone, but it’s so obvious.”
Taking to social media once again last night, Denise appeared to be disappointed Fern wasn’t the one to get the boot by Celebrity Big Brother viewers, as TV presenter Zeze Millz and Broadway Marisha Wallace were evicted from the famous house just days before the big final
“Gutted!!! #CBBUK,” Denise wrote to her 556,300 Twitter followers as Fern survived another public vote. “Who is saving Fern? She’s so sly and passive aggressive, I’m truly baffled,” one Twitter user replied, with Denise going on to like a tweet reading: “Louis calling Fern a ‘fucking cow’ and saying he didn’t care is A MOOD. #CBBUK.”
Fern Britton and Denise Welch worked together in 2018 as they both appeared in the Calendar Girls musical
It’s not known why Denise doesn’t particularly like Fern. The pair shared a stage together back in 2018, when they both appeared in a touring production of Calendar Girls the Musical. Inspired by the 2003 hit film, the musical saw Denise play Celia, while Fern took on the role of Marie.
Last night’s episode of Celebrity Big Brother saw Fern and Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin clash heads thanks to a stripy top and a misplaced comment. As the housemates sat around the sofas, Fern asked Nikita how old he is. When he replied “26”, she told him: “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.”
Nikita was left puzzled by this and told Fern: “I’m a bit confused about this.” Fern tried to clear things up, telling Nikita: “You shouldn’t be confused. You never change your brain. Everything is hilarious – all bum jokes, all c**k jokes. Everything is still as it is when you’re 66.” But Nikita was still lost, asking Fern: “Are we having a beef? What’s happening?”
Fern explained: “I’m just saying never look at an old person and think they’re old,” she told him. “We’re still in our heads 26.” Nikita was still unsure, asking: “Referring to?” Fern clarified: “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.”
Denise liked a number of tweets from Celebrity Big Brother viewers taking Nikita’s side last night. One tweet liked by Denise reads: “sorry but fern literally tried to make nikita look bad in front of the house and then told him when they were alone that she wasn’t bothered by what he said?? he was just being nice?? unfair actually #cbbuk.”
