Celebrity Big Brother: Aisleyne insists Nicola McLean did NOT know Kim Woodburn's baby heartache

Nicola McLean suffered a rather nasty fall from grace during last night’s Celebrity Big Brother episode, with some viewers even insisting that the star should be “removed” from the house following her latest argument with Kim Woodburn.

In the row, Kim lashed out at the fact that Nic is a mum, with the former model retorting: “And you’re not, that’s your problem. If you to go low, I’ll go lower.”

The comment was met with outrage from Big Brother viewers, with Kim previously sharing her heartache at giving birth to a stillborn little boy when she was 23 years old, later adding that she is saddened she missed out on having children.

Now Nicola’s close friend, and former Big Brother housemate, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace has sprung to Nic’s defence, insisting that the star would have had absolutely no idea about Kim’s secret heartache and that she’d never have made the comment if she’d known.

Referencing how Kim had been bullying Nicola since she entered the house, Aisleyne wrote: “Listen, Kim went in the house with a vendetta against Nic, brought her mothering into arguments.

“Nicola said: ‘You ain’t a mum, maybe that’s your problem’… Maybe it is? She doesn’t know Kim’s history all she knows is the attack on her as a mother.

“Trust me, if she knew Kim’s story she wouldn’t have said that because I have the same story and pain as Kim.”

Following backlash, she later added: “I’m sad that I am being judged for something my friend has said. Yes I explained my thoughts on it. I’m hurt because the pain is palpable.

“For me as I have lost 4 babies… That pain is the deepest pain I could ever feel so would not defend anyone if they belittled it but I genuinely do not believe that Nicola knew of Kim’s story.

“I can’t read when people are now saying worse to me abut the same pain… If I believed for a second Nicola knew what she was saying I would stand by her as a friend but not defend what she said.

“I take love where I can find it which hasn’t been in many places but I found love in Nicola.

“She’s not the person this is making her seem. That aside please respect my experience and leave me alone.

“You want to judge Nicola but yet you all know my story & are willing to slaughter me? Be consistent.”

The people running Nicola’s official Twitter account also took to their page to insist that Nic had no idea of Kim’s past.

They wrote: “She’ll be devastated when she gets out of the house and finds out about what Kim went through.”

Nicola is up for eviction tonight alongside seven other housemates, including Kim.
