Social Media platform including winner David Potts, Zeze Millz, Marisha Wallace, and Bradley Riches. Nikita follows Fern, however, she hasn't returned the move. Nikita opened up on what he really thought about Fern as he appeared on Loose
Women earlier this week. He explained: "The thing is I did not forget I was being filmed but I thought most of it was going to get cut. So I was sure of some bits, which after I came out everybody was like so you knocked Fern out... I was like s**t." Katie Piper then reminded him that he was live, as she said: "We can't cut that it's live telly." After apologising Nikita added: "I was, at that moment, confused, perplexed, bamboozled, everything at the same time. I was really confused on what we were talking about but the most important thing was we cleared it up in the end. We probably misunderstood each other and I'm always really sorry if I offend anyone in any way. I never have bad intentions with anybody." This Morning airs on ITV1 and ITVX from 10am on weekdays.
