Angellica Bell breaks down in tears as she reveals truth behind Martin Lewis show exit

TV presenter was in tears as she discussed her exit from back in 2023. On Tuesday night, the presenter took to the Diary Room in the Celebrity house and was emotional as she discussed her tough time on the show.

After Big Brother asked whether she had a good time 'banging the pots and pans in the morning', she said she felt 'so good' as it made Donna Preston feel 'vexed'. After a moment of light-hearted moment in the confessional, she told Big Brother: "I’m going to be honest with you, I didn’t think I’d get this far. I’m still pinching myself that I’m here."

Big Brother said: "Big Brother thinks you're a great housemate," which cause her to break down in tears as she's "not very good at compliments".

"I've loved every minute, 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 me if I would talk about the Martin Lewis show and stuff, it took me a long time to get over that.

"I was so grateful to all of the audience who messaged me about it, also to other celebrities who contacted me and stuff because those messages are what got me through.

"That’s why I wanted to come onto this show and tap into my old self because it’s taken me a long time."

Big Brother told her as she sniffled: "Angelica, Big Brother thinks you're doing really well." She answered: "You know what, I think I found myself again being here."

Angelica, 49, who boasts an impressive quarter-century career across children's and daytime TV, was abruptly dropped from the acclaimed programme in 2023 after half a dozen years of co-hosting.

Initially, Angellica was bluntly informed that her presence was no longer needed on set and saw herself promptly replaced by the former Olympian turned broadcaster Jeanette Kwakye.

Having joined the ranks of The Money Show back in 2017, Angellica moved on to anchor Channel 5's revamped edition of The Gadget Show – renamed Shop Smart, .

Reports at the time suggested a 'conflict of interest' led to her speedy exit from the gig.

At the time, a statement was released by ITV stating: "Angellica is not working on the Martin Lewis Money Show Live, however, the relationship with her remains amicable and we are working with her on other forthcoming programmes."
