THE ICONIC rivalry between Tiffany Pollard and Gemma Collins is alive and well after almost a decade since they appeared on Celebrity Big Brother together.
Entering the house for the 2016 version of the reality TV favourite, and ‘New York' actually started off as potential pals.
However, their friendship soon devolved in iconic fashion over a pair of shoes –which Gemma gifted for her birthday only to later take them back.
Appearing on today, Tiffany suggested that the hatchet still hadn't been buried between them and never will be –suggesting their last words were shared the moment she left the house.
Speaking to and Alison Hammond, said: “I was like, ‘Honey, I wouldn't have given you those shoes back', because her big everything knocked stones out of those shoes.
“I did look at those shoes and examine them. They were missing so many diamonds, girls, she could have kept them.”
When Alison quizzed if they ever DM each other, Tiffany said they will “never be that close”, but acknowledged: “What she did say when I left the house, she said ‘Well done'.”
The infamous slanging match between the two stars has become cemented in Celebrity Big Brother history as one of the funniest and most brutal swipes ever.
Gemma initially took back the designer shoes she gifted Tiffany after the now iconic ‘David is Dead' incident –which saw Tiffany break down in shock believing their housemate, had died.
Angie Bowie told Tiffany thatbut failed to clarify that she meant her – and Gest was taking a nap at the time, so wasn't present to correct her.
It was only when the news spread around the house that the truth came out, but Tiffany didn't apologise for the mistake, prompting Gemma to remove the shoes from her.
Tiffany later let loose in the diary room in a rant that has since become a career-defining monologue, calmly hurling insults at the camera to get it out.
Asked what she wanted to tell Gemma, Tiffany told the Diary Room: “They were old maiden-type of shoes, and she said that those shoes were meant to be worn on a beautiful woman.
“So if that's the case, she should have put them back on the rack, and she should never even purchase them because she was unqualified to own those shoes if that's the case.”
She continued by branding Gemma a “disgrace to women who are actually beautiful and classy”.
“Somebody lied to her several times and told her that she was fly, hot, sexy and beautiful,” she concluded. “And she's nothing like that, she's nothing of the sort.”
Nine years on, Tiffany maintains that she wasn't at fault for the David is Dead incident, and told Alison and Dermot: “When Angie said David, what other David was I coming in contact with?
“He was so sick and so pink and his eyes were red, he was so sick… He had to be taken out and he was on medication, poor thing.
“I just figured he died.
“Once they told me David Bowie, it still didn't register, I was like ‘okay but she told me David so how was I wrong?'”
