A Celebrity Big Brother row has emerged as a former housemate claims a dramatic moment was staged. Kim Woodburn, 82, has claimed that she thinks one of this year's CBB stars was "pretending" she had hurt herself and even called her "phoney". The TV star was referring to a situation which involved Fern Britton hitting her head. Former This Morning host Fern collided with
Strictly Come Dancing star Nikita Kuzmin during a house challenge. The pair ran into each other which resulted in Fern hitting her head on the back of a chair. The contestants were split into two teams and were trying to pop each other's balloons when the incident happened. The game came to a stop when Big Brother spotted that Fern had hurt herself. Fern hit her head on a chair ( Image: ITV) Nikita took Fern to the Diary Room where she rested and recovered before going back into the house. However, Kim has said she didn't believe Fern's reaction. Speaking to The Sun , she said: "I'll tell you what I did find. I thought, 'Fern, what are you doing, dear?' when she pretended... I say pretended, but she did... when she pretended she'd hurt her head. "Now we know she hadn't. We know she hadn't, and when she got Nikita because she couldn't see too well, hand on head, helping her into the Diary Room, sitting her down. "And then suddenly, she's bolt upright, two hands on her knees chatting to Big Brother. And then she announces, 'I have to lie down. Oh, oh, I have to!' You and I knew that was phoney because I'll tell you why, when you're in Big Brother, they're awfully good. "Anybody that's any slightly ill, the doctors are right there. Oh my goodness, they're so vigilant. When [Big Brother] allowed her to sit in that chair, if he thought she was ill, she would have had a doctor in there in two seconds. He was playing along." Fern almost went the full way in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother - managing to reach the final episode. She was the first to be evicted during last Friday's final, meaning she finished the series in fifth place. Kim first came face to face with Fern back when she was presenting ITV's This Morning. Kim said she is a "delightful person" when talking about when they met but says now she is "puzzled" by Fern. Kim added: "There's two sides to Fern. There's that lovely side, then this is phoney, stupid side, so don't know what to make of her at all. There's definitely passive aggression there."
