Angellica Bell FINALLY breaks silence on Martin Lewis feud with teary confession on Celebrity Big Brother
ANGELLICA Bell broke down in tears as she finally opened up about her feud with ITV’s money-saving guru Martin Lewis.
The TV presenter admitted feeling like she’d “found herself again” in the Celebrity Big Brother house.
Angellica said: “It’s probably the best thing I’ve done in a long time.
“Before I came in here, I was a little bit scared. The press were asking if I’d talk about the Martin Lewis show and stuff.
“It took me a long time to get over that.
“I’m so grateful to all the audience that messaged me about it and also to other celebrities who contacted me and stuff.
“It was those messages and support that got me through.
“That’s why I wanted to come on the show to tap into my old self.
“It has taken a long, long time.
“I think I’ve found myself again being here. Every cloud.”
The 49-year-old was “secretly sacked” from The Martin Lewis Money Show back in 2023.
Angellica joined the show in 2017 and helped the programme receive a nomination for a TV BAFTA.
However, she abruptly exited the show – leaving fans in the dark about her disappearance.
Her husband Michael Underwood teased about her discussing what happened between her and Martin on Celebrity Big Brother, a fan: “It’s not for me to say but she might talk about it on CBB,” adding a side eye emoji.
A source close to the show said: “Angellica was a valued part of the team having joined in series seven, but, given the importance of maintaining a clear, individual and distinct identity for the show it was felt that her new role meant she would not be offered a new contract to continue on the Martin Lewis Money Show Live.
“The Martin Lewis Money Show Live production team did not become aware that Angelica’s new show would be called Shop Smart, Save Money until that programme was announced to the media in late September, with filming for it involving Angelllica having already started prior to that.
“An amicable discussion was held with her regarding the situation.”
