Celebrity Big Brother 2018 kicked off last night with a big belter of a twist. To mark 100 years of women’s suffrage, an all-female line-up of celebs entered the famous house, cheered by an all-female audience and the voice of Marcus Bentley was replaced by a female narrator. We were LOVING it.
However, one of the celebs has already caused a bit of stir, as it turns out she’s the reason another potential contestant point blank refused to take part in the show.
Britain’s Next Top Model first transgender contestant Talulah-Eve was reportedly due to appear on this special series of Big Brother but turned down the offer after hearing India Willoughby was also set to enter the house.
“It’s now the second time Talulah’s turned down CBB,” a source told The Sun.
“But this time for a different reason, the reports of India going in put her off.
"They both knew each other and got on in the past, but they recently appeared on Good Morning Britain and ended up having a very heated debate.”
Talulah and India had disagreed over Topshop’s introduction of gender-neutral changing rooms, with India stating she was completely against the move while Talulah agreed with the decision.
India then went on to retweet posts on Twitter trolling Talulah over her voice during the debate.
Now, check out the rest of the CBB 2018 contestants:
