Did Celebrity Big Brother’s Nicola McLean take things too far by telling Kim she’s not a mum?
Viewers were left outraged after last night’s Celebrity Big Brother after Nicola McLean made a low blow comment, telling Kim Woodburn that she wasn’t a real mother.
The episode saw yet another row between the two celebrities after Kim was exposed calling Nicola a liar during nominations.
When Kim refused to tell Nicola exactly what she had lied about, the argument quickly escalated with Nicola shouting: “F**king liar? Liar?
“Tell everyone how I’m a liar, Kim? Tell everyone how I’m a liar?!”
Kim hit back at her housemate, snapping: “Grow up, you’re a mum.”
“And you’re not, that’s your problem,” Nicola responded.
She added: “If you wanna go low, I’ll go lower.”
Angry viewers took to Twitter to criticise Nicola for her remarks:
What a horrible person Nicola is having a pop at Kim for not being a mum. Hardly made her a better person 👊#CBB

Nicola using the fact that Kim isn’t a mum was a low blow, some people can really get away with saying what they like #nicola #cbb

Nicola shouldn’t of said that about Kim not being a mum, regardless if she knew her past or not. It’s a vile thing to even suggest. #CBB

Jamie O’Hara’s ex-wife Danielle Lloyd also expressed her outrage at the remarks made, posting: “What an evil nasty comment to make!! Some women can’t have children!!”

Kim had a still born baby at 23 & that comment has actually made me feel sick as a mum am disgusted & I’d never say that to another women

It was an especially sensitive topic given recent headlines about Kim’s past. The How Clean Is Your House presenter recently opened up about how she tragically lost her child when she was 23.
Kim said: “It was a very sad part of my life. I would never go back to visit the spot where it happened. That would just be too much. I couldn’t do it.”
A statement was later posted on Nicola’s official Twitter account: “Nicola knows nothing about Kim’s life prior to CBB and anything Nicola says to Kim is based purely on her behaviour in the CBB house.
“If Nicola knew what Kim had experienced in the past she would have never retaliated in the way she does in their row tonight.”

She’ll be devastated when she gets out of the house and finds out about what Kim went through.
