Insults and possibly even glass were hurled when a heated argument between Farrah Abraham and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace resulted in major drama on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side - and Allo Allo actress Vicki Michelle ended up in hospital.
The spectacular row erupted just eight minutes into Tuesday night's show when host Rylan Clark asked panel guest Aisleyne whether she missed Teen Mom star Farrah (who was evicted last Friday) in the house.
Former Big Brother contestant and glamour model Aisleyne branded Farrah "horrible" and "a silly little girl", before raging, "hop on a plane and f**k off. We don't want you here."
Farrah squawked sarcastically, "You were on regular Big Brother, you didn't get paid. Good job, girl!"
Rylan's face said it all during the slanging match, especially when Farrah said that Austin had been "working through [his anger issues]", Aisleyne quipped "shame you didn't", and Farrah slammed back with "hag,...

Anna Williamson and Keith Duffy have made it through to the semi-finals of Tom Daley's diving competition Splash!
Duffy topped the leaderboard when the judges' scores and viewers' votes were combined, meaning that he progressed to the next round immediately.
Digital Spy's showbiz columnist Williamson also made it through after taking on Toyah Willcox in the splash-off.
Martin Offiah and Paul Ross - who achieved the lowest scores - were eliminated from the competition along with Willcox.
Duffy and Williamson now join last week's successful competitors Perri Kiely and Michaela Strachan in the next round of the show.
"Well, the dive was average but I think the budgie smugglers got me through," joked Duffy of his win.

The summer Olympics may be long over with, but Tom Daley is still sporting a tiny Speedo! The 19-year-old was helping out contestants on the U.K.'s hit show Splash Monday evening. Daley assisted the divers in perfecting their form for the best dive possible. Throughout the program, Daley was seen showing how to improve one's dive and how to hold the best poses. The show's contestants include Boyzone's Keith Duffy, British television presenter Anna Williamson, singer and actress Toyah Wilcox, radio presenter Paul Ross and rugby star Martin Offiah. And it seems that the young diving pro is rather excited about his involvement with the hit program. "Episode 1...

Splash! returned this weekend, and it was just as awesomely carefree and camp as we remembered, but one Splash! staple missing from the launch episode was hot male celebrity abs (sorry Ricky Groves). Yes, Tom Daley is as gorgeous as ever, but we like a bit of variety, you know.
Thankfully, it seems that issue will be resolved in this week's heat, as popstar, soapstar and general charmer Keith Duffy is in possession of a nice bod, and as these first-look pictures show, he isn't afraid to flaunt it.
Keith apparently had no problem slipping into a Speedo during training, a move that has to be admired from a man turning 40 this year.
Here he is taking a big leap in his budgie smugglers, as mentor Tom keeps a watchful eye.
So, what's the verdict, Tom?
We can't help but agree.
Keith will compete against Digital Spy columnist Anna Williamson,...

Splash! host Gabby Logan has described Tom Daley as "a delight to have around".
The presenter - who fronts Daley's diving series alongside Vernon Kay - said that she doesn't think that Daley will be affected by his recent announcement about his sexuality.
Logan told Kate Garraway on ITV's Lorraine: "I don't think it'll affect him at all… he must feel some kind of relief just to go, 'Look this is me, this is what I am, there was a bit about me you didn't know, now let's move on'.
"He can't be any nicer, he can't be any easier to work with, he's just a delight to have around, he's so giving, so I imagine he'll just feel even more relaxed with people… the crowds I expect will still go wild for him."
Last month, Daley posted a YouTube video confirming that he is in a relationship with a man.

Tom Daley has revealed to Digital Spy that he would love to be a contestant on I'm a Celebrity, Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing on Ice - or take over from Ant & Dec as host of Britain's Got Talent.
The Olympic diver commented that he could see himself in a "sparkly" Strictly outfit, but was less confident about his chances of success in a Bushtucker Trial.
Asked if he'd go on any reality shows, Daley told DS showbiz columnist Anna Williamson: "I'd have a go on all of them. I'd be terrible on Bushtucker Trials, but I'd give it a go.
"Strictly and Dancing on Ice - they're both so sparkly... I'd do either. I'd have to speak to my friends and let them vote which one."
Daley added that landing a hosting role at Nickelodeon's Fruit Shoot Skills Awards next month has made him think more about a future in presenting.
