The show in a house, cut off from the outside world, for three weeks. They compete in various challenges, squabble over food shops and even end up in bed with each other, all while being filmed 24/7.

It brought us Shoe Gate, , Danniella Westbrook kicking doors and so much more.

takes a look at the most explosive CBB cat fights...
Gemma Collins V Tiffany Pollard
At the start of season 17, it looked like The GC, now 44, and New Yorker Tiffany Pollard, 43, could become pals.
That is, until the TOWIE star lent a pair of shoes to Tiffany but decided she wanted them returned, so sneakily took them back.
During a row over the shoes in front of their housemates, Gemma told Tiffany: “Them shoes have to be on someone’s feet who is very beautiful.”;
She also accused the American telly star of having “big feet”; that knocked stones out of the designer kicks – a CBB scandal that was affectionately dubbed Shoe Gate by the British public.
The disagreement sparked a monumental tirade from Tiffany who labelled The GC a “crazy b***h”;, saying: “I don’t need s**t from you.”;
The rant carried on into the Diary Room, where Tiffany delivered one of the most memorable CBB confessionals of all time.
She said to the camera: “Pretty much I would let Gemma know that she is a fat c**t.
“And the shoes that she gave me were not something that I would particularly buy for myself. They were old maiden type of shoes.
I think that Gemma is just a disgrace. She's a disgrace to women who are actually beautiful and classy and she just doesn't have the vernacular she thinks she possesses
Tiffany Pollard
“She said that those shoes were meant to be worn on a beautiful woman.
“So, if that is the case she should have put them back on the rack and she should have never even purchased them because she was unqualified to own those shoes if that's the case.
“I think that Gemma is just a disgrace. She's a disgrace to women who are actually beautiful and classy and she just doesn't have the vernacular she thinks she possesses.
“Somebody lied to her several times and told her that she was fly, hot and sexy and beautiful – and she's nothing like that; she's nothing of the sort.”;
Kim Woodburn V The World
Clean queen Kim Woodburn famously didn’t see eye-to-eye with any of her housemates during series 19 of CBB, particularly former glamour model Nicola McLean, 43.
Kim called Nicola the “mother bunny”; of the girls in the house, whom she all accused of ganging up on her.
One night before bed, the 83-year-old decided to let the rest of the CBB house know what she thought of them.
She shouted: “You’re all chicken-livered bunch who can’t stand up for yourselves. You’re a two-faced bunch... Chicken-livered s***s.”;
Things then got personal between Kim and former footballer Jamie O’Hara, 38, who she slammed for being an “adulterer”;.
She shouted: “Go away, you adulterer!
“You’re an adulterer who two-timed your wife and she’s got three kids... You’re talking about decency?”;
On another occasion, Kim labelled Geordie Shore’s Chloe Ferry as “vulgar” for not wearing any knickers.
She also shockingly said: “She has absolutely no respect for property, for people, for noise.
“What she does… I find her a vulgar, nasty little girl.
“The way she talks, the whole thing about her, ‘oh I don't wear knickers, I don't bath', that's just inappropriate love, isn't it.
“That poor little sod, she has no shame”.
Megan Mckenna V John Partridge & Tiffany Pollard
Megan Mckenna’s, 32, monumental CBB meltdown in season 17 saw her take on multiple housemates at once.
Producers even called security to “calm down”; the reality star following her boozy bedroom rant.
She called EastEnders actor John Partridge, 53, a “lying s***” and a “two-faced little c***”;, and nearly initiated a physical altercation with Tiffany Pollard, 43.
The meltdown was sparked following John discussing the lack of cleanliness shown by other housemates – when Megan started moaning that she finds herself constantly “cleaning everyone’s s**t up”;.
However, the TOWIE star veered off topic and started shouting: “I’m the f*****g one telling the truth in here because everyone’s so scared to f*****g tell the truth apart from me.”;
When she referred to John as Johnathon, which is not his name, she caused Tiffany to burst out laughing – and turned her anger on her.
Megan stepped towards Tiffany during the rant which triggered her to jump out of bed to defend herself.
Other housemates had to physically step in between the pair and Megan was called immediately to the Diary Room by CBB producers, where she was given a formal warning.
Chloe Khan V Renee Graziano
X Factor reject Chloe Khan, 34, ended up in bitter spats with tough mob wife Renee Graziano, 56, in season 18 of CBB due to her flirting with Stephen Bear.
Chloe shocked fellow housemates when she started bouncing up and down on top of the former reality star, who later went to jail for being a sex offender, while giving him a massage.
The housemates said it was like “watching soft core porn” and Renee didn't hold back when discussing it later on in the bedroom.
Renee said: “There are two showmances in this house!
“Chloe’s way is a new way of massaging! It’s nice to see Chloe and Bear getting really close.”;
The influencer then accused Renee of calling her a “prostitute”; and came to the conclusion that the mob wife was jealous of her.
Chloe said: “She’s old, fat and jealous.
“Renee’s a f***ing b***h everyone’s scared of her, she’s jealous... She’s just a jealous b***h.”;
Stephanie Davis V Danniella Westbrook
Hollyoaks actress Stephanie, 32, came under fire by fellow housemate Danniella Westbrook, 51, in the 17th season of CBB after cheating on her then-boyfriend with Jeremy McConnell, 35.
The pair clashed repeatedly throughout the series, with Danniella telling Steph to “have a bit of decorum”; when she was snogging Jeremy under bed covers.
Things got worse when Stephanie voted for Danniella to “lose a life”; during a challenge, pushing the EastEnders actress to burst into tears and try to kick a door open
When Stephanie was upset following Jeremy’s eviction from the house, Danniella saw red.
She said: “I couldn't give two f***s.
“She deserves it; she treated me like a mug.
“She deserves every boo she gets, and more. I’m done with it.”
Another explosive argument between the pair saw Danniella call Stephanie a “slag” and threaten to leave the house over the feud, forcing security to step in.
Charlotte Crosby V Saira Khan
Geordie Shore’s Charlotte Crosby, 34, wasn’t even in the CBB house in 2016 when she waged a war of words on Loose Women’s Saira Khan, 54.
She slammed the presenter as “uptight, judgemental and boring”; after she tried to psycho-analyse Marnie Simpson.
Charlotte, who won CBB a few years prior, didn’t mince her words when she took to Twitter (now X) to lash out at Saira.
She penned: “There's nothing loose about that loose woman..she's uptight and judgemental. Stop trying to delve into people's souls and have fun!! BORING.”;
The rant seemingly came after Saira told Marnie that her wild child “front” is put on to stop people getting to know the “real”; her.
But Marnie disagreed, informing Saira that she was both wild and reserved.
Charlotte’s war on Saira didn’t stop there, though. She went on to say she’d be “embarrassed”; to be her child and called her “rank”;.
In a scathing Tweet, Charlotte penned: “I honestly hope Saira doesn't work again, for her bullying rank disrespectful behaviour. I'd be embarrassed to be one of your children.”
