Celebrity Big Brother: James Jordan defends Nicola McLean amid 'bully' claims

In recent days, Celebrity Big Brother’s Nicola McLean has suffered quite a fall from grace.

Once the much-loved, straight-talking ‘house mum’ of the series, Nic fell out of favour with the viewers following an explosive row with Kim Woodburn, where she slammed the TV personality for not having children.

Unbeknown to Nicola, Kim had suffered a tragic stillbirth a number of years ago.

Since then, the star has been constantly bickering with Jedward and although all of the other CBB housemates are also on bad terms with the Irish twins, only Nicola has been chastised for it and she was even dubbed a “bully” in last night’s episode.

Now former housemate James Jordan has sprung to the star’s defence – insisting that Jedward are “nasty little boys” and that Nicola is a genuinely nice woman.

As Jedward accused Nicola of picking on them during last night’s Judgement Day task, James tweeted: “JEDWARD ARE DELUDED. How can ALL the house be wrong?

“They are nasty little boys! FACT!!!

“I love Nicola and to confirm, Nicola is a nice girl.”

Later in the programme viewers were left outraged when guest John McCririck bodyshamed Coleen Nolan during a nasty rant to the Loose Women star, with only Nicola stepping in to defend her housemate.

Tweeting again, James wrote: “What a horrible horrible man John McD*ck is and Nicola has bigger balls than all of those so called men and gentlemen in the house.

“Jamie [O’Hara] trying to say what he wanted to say to John, but did nothing.

“Nicola did….. she’s a nice girl no matter what any of you think.”

James isn’t the only former housemate to be defending Nicola amid the drama of CBB, with Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt also singing her praises as they admitted that Jedward were difficult to live with and constantly made “sly” and “nasty” digs at their fellow housemates.
