Tensions in the Celebrity Big Brother house reached a peak as Nikita Kuzmin inadvertently injured fellow contestant Fern Britton during a task, sparking a flurry of reactions from fans.
The ongoing rivalry between Nikita Kuzmin, a Strictly pro, and presenter Fern Britton has been a focal point of the ITV reality series in recent days, leaving viewers puzzled. The conflict escalated during Tuesday’s episode (19 March) when Britton confronted Kuzmin over what she perceived as a veiled insult about her choice of outfit.
The atmosphere remained frosty between the pair at the beginning of Wednesday’s episode (20 March). However, Kuzmin took a proactive step and approached Britton, ultimately clearing the air and diffusing the tension between them.
Later in the day, the housemates engaged in a task where they had to protect balloons while trying to burst the opposing team’s balloons with a pin. In the midst of the game, Kuzmin accidentally knocked Britton down while defending her team’s balloon, causing the presenter to hit the back of her head.
Immediately after the incident, Kuzmin rushed to check on Britton and accompanied her to the Diary Room, where she received medical attention and took time to recover before rejoining the housemates.
Fans took to social media, particularly Twitter, to share their reactions to the unexpected injury. Many praised Kuzmin for swiftly assisting Britton, while others speculated about the severity of Britton’s injury.
Despite the accident, viewers noted the awkwardness of the situation, considering Kuzmin and Britton had just reconciled moments before. One viewer expressed sympathy for Nikita, acknowledging it as an accident, while another highlighted Kuzmin’s genuine concern for Britton’s well-being.
The ongoing drama between Fern and Nikita has added an intriguing layer to this week’s episodes, with viewers finding the feud both puzzling and captivating, driving the show’s narrative forward.
