CELEBRITY Big Brother fans are convinced they’ve worked out the “real reason” for Fern Britton and Nikita Kuzmin’s shock feud as they “obviously” have beef.
A sneak-peak reveals former This Morning presenter Fern Britton and Strictly Come Dancing professional Nikita Kuzmin will come to blows tonight.
Fern and Nikita’s feud is heating up tonight
In a sneak-peak from tonight’s episode, Fern and Nikita get into in front of their housemates while playing a game on the sofa area inside the huge lounge in the ITV house.
Fern begins by pouring Nikita a drink but then starts making subtle digs at her Celebrity Big Brother co-star.
She commented: “You and I get on alright when we’re playing games. Can I tell you? How old are you now?”

Nikita replied to the legendary broadcaster as he confirmed he was 26-years-old.
Fern couldn’t help but reply: “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.”
He then declared how he was feeling utterly confused by her reflective comments.
Fern then clarified herself, fully explaining to the young dancer what she meant by her initial comment.
“You shouldn’t be confused. You never change your brain,” she admitted.
“Everything is hilarious - all bum jokes, all c**k jokes. Everything is still as it is when you’re 66.”
Nikita was still left feeling utterly perplexed. He asked the best-selling author whether they are “having a beef?”
Fern replied: “I’m just saying never look at an old person and think they’re old. We’re still in our heads 26.
“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.”
Nikita quickly explained that he was just trying to pay Fern a compliment, but she wasn’t having any of it.

Fans were quick to call out the exchange and point out that Fern and Nikita’s feud seems pretty one-sided.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, many fans agreed that Fern doesn’t like Nikita because he’s nominated her for elimination so many times.
“Fern is bitter because Nikita nominated her. Not a good look,” one CBB fan said.
“Fern being extremely patronising and finding any excuse to argue with Nikita. She seems very entitled! He was clearly just giving her a compliment,” agreed another.
“Part of me thinks that Fern is only targeting Nikita because he’s voted for her 3 times in the nominations and she’s pissed off about it,” another commented.
They continued: “She’s showing ageist traits and is coming across as patronising here. Just like Louis was with Bradley at the start of the series.”
Like fans, the other housemates present were left utterly cringing, as Zeze Millz was seen seeing further into her drink and out of viewer during their exchange.
