Although it was famous that Farida Khalifa and Kerry Riches fought when they were younger in the Big Brother house in 2023, have they reconciled since?

Big Brother has been thrown into turmoil recently with ex-housemate Farida making a dramatic return and tensions beginning to rise.

After the stars failed the shopping task and were given basic rations, another housemate was shown the door from the Big Brother house this week. Recently, Farida has become a hot topic on social media, with different opinions on her remarkable comeback.

Earlier scenes saw Farida sent off to a secret room alongside previously evicted housemate Emily and pretend evictee Sam in a massive twist for the 25th anniversary. The trio were then ushered back into the house after 36 hours of “secret tasks”, and Farida didn’t hold back, reports OK!.

The actress was unafraid to voice her opinions, just like she was during her time in 2023, which is how she continues to stir up controversy in the Big Brother household this time around. Who could possibly forget those unforgettable 2023 moments?

Farida, who is she?

Farida was the first housemate to return home after she graced the Big Brother house in 2023.

The makeup artist, who is best remembered for eating Olivia Young’s salmon straight off her plate, managed to cause quite a stir despite her brief stay. She notably engaged in several altercations with her roommate Kerry Riches.

The conflict between Farida and Kerry was explained.

Farida and Kerry ended up facing eviction together because of how much of a falling out they had on Big Brother back in 2023.

Who could forget the legendary shopping conundrum and opposing leadership styles when they were positioned as middle managers?

They argued over how to manage responsibilities for the bottom. After that, Kerry was later caught in tears taking a toilet break.

Farida once told Big Brother that she thought Kerry was a “bit of a stirrer” among the audience because she called him “very conniving.” She (Farida) doesn’t get me, she said when she spoke to Big Brother.

And who can forget when Farida mentions Kerry’s “viral videos” or when Farida mentions her generation when Kerry responds that she felt old?

Once more, the two men argued over who should be in charge of the shopping budget.

Prior to eviction night, the pair argued once more as Kerry demanded that she remained “still the same person” as she had been when she first entered the home.

Due to her age, an expelled Farida told Kerry, “you’ll be next,” which didn’t appeal to the celebrity. Farida said on Late and Live that she “couldn’t understand her tantrums” after being eliminated.

She also admitted on the program that “the two would have “had a blowup.”

Are Farida and Kerry agreeing to speak?

Kerry posted a video with the caption “Shes back baby!” on TikTok when it was revealed Farida would be making a comeback to the Big Brother household. Be absolutely iconic and smash it girl with FaridaKhalifa! The best news is just that.

She exclaims, “You are just iconic, I love that you’re back,” in the video. You are fantastic.

She continues, “Could I live with you once more?” No. Would you like to re-emigrate to me? No”.

When asked when they reconciled, Kerry responded that “the 45 minutes you watch on television aren’t real life darlings” and that she had previously said, “It’s all panto and remember its TV”!

She referred to Farida as “TV gold” in another observation.

However, in a separate video, Kerry criticised Farida for “targeting” housemates and revealing information about the outside world. In a comment, Kerry clarified: “I was over the moon to see her back, she’s TV gold… however there was no need to come back and be mean! She could have been her funny entertaining self, without being nasty and targeting the young ones who will be missing home by now.”

After this week’s shopping trip, Kerry expressed her support for Farida on TikTok, calling her “comedy gold,” adding that Zelah was correct to check her in because she doesn’t drink alcohol. He was correct to do that because it must have caused her a lot of discomfort.

Kerry refers to her as a “boss b****,” which suggests there is no animosity between the two.

Coleen Nolan has opened up about sharing some uncomfortable family tales on Loose Women on ITV, which has previously seen her family treat her with silence.

Coleen Nolan has revealed she’s gone home to silence after some Loose Women episodes. The singer and TV star is no stranger when it comes to opening up about her life on the ITV panel show.

Coleen, 60, claims that because of this, her family can frequently treat her with silence. She does warn them, though, that she won’t back down when topics like divorce and children are scheduled to be discussed.

The Nolan’s, the music industry icon, has revealed that she can be hesitant to share some personal information about her life because it might affect those close to her.

“With personal stuff, I don’t share until it’s kind of settled,” she told the Mirror. Coleen went on to add: “As far as my break-ups from my husbands. Not Shane [Richie], because we’d already broken up before I started Loose Women – that’s how I got on Loose Women.

However, Ray and I had a few years before we actually spoke up and discussed it. It’s unfair on the other person because I’m always aware of them. When it’s all said and done, I’ll say, “Yes, it was a difficult couple of years,” but not while we’re going through it; it was also difficult for him.

Coleen is the first to admit that she is a “great talker” and that she prefers to talk openly than to keep things bottled up, but she also admits that her brutal honesty occasionally leads her into difficult situations at home. After talking about marriage and family on Loose, she claims that I’ve occasionally returned home silent. I tell them, “Look, I do a show, and I’m going to talk about it if a topic about kids or divorce comes up.” “

On my children’s lives, that’s just not true, Coleen refutes persistent rumors of arguments and toxic behavior in the show’s background. It isn’t accurate. We resemble what we do on-screen exactly. We’re like sisters, so it never lasts when you say, “You’re getting on my nerves, now,” and I love that. It’s unfortunate. There isn’t anything like it, and Loose is such a good show because we’ve accomplished so many wonderful things.

Panellists are subjected to some form of social media trolling, she says with a sigh, whether it be about their appearance or opinions. And as Coleen admits, she can be bothered by it.

It’s unfortunate that they are trying to beat it down, which is typically women. Women should be champions of women! Social media, however, has the bottle cracked. Only if it will seriously hurt people, when I’m drawn to trolls. It’s absurd.

Coleen claims that despite their appearance or subject matter, she hardly ever hears a negative review of the male panelists. It comes out as soon as it’s women. She continues, “it’s bizarre.”

Singing and performing from the age of two, Coleen – who moved to a six-acre farm in Dilhorne, Staffordshire, in 2024 to fulfil her dream of being surrounded by animals in the countryside – admits that she doesn’t feel much like a “celebrity”. “I think people have a certain impression of celebrities, and I’m not that. I’m not at every red-carpet event. I’m happiest at home, covered in horse poo and taking the dogs for a walk! And as far as being open, I’d rather be that way – I don’t think the public are stupid. If you go on air and deliver a fake persona, which a lot do, it’s hard to live up to.”

This is Me, Coleen’s second solo album, promises a night of laughter, stories, surprises, and perhaps even a song or two. I’m very excited! Because I haven’t yet put it together, I’m a little anxious. I’m thinking about how we’re going to do it at the point where I have trouble sleeping!

Fans began to comment on Coleen after her recent performance on Loose Women, saying that she had forgotten that she was a singer first. She says “she says coyly, adding,” but I’ve never really done that because I was born that’s what I’ve always wanted to do when I can sing. On this tour, it’s nice to be able to do both. I want to ask the audience questions and answers, have fun, and tell them my life story while also adding songs.

She’s “funny” of the stories he might spill, and her eldest son, musician Shane Nolan, will play on stage once more. Shane was my support when we last performed, and he later assisted me during my set. Because he is my son, I can tell him to shut up because I’m comfortable with him. She asserts.

He says, “He knows me and I know him, and we both have the same sense of humor, and he’s such a comedian.”

This Is Me tour dates in February 2026, according to Coleen Nolan.
