The Loose Women panel have accused Celebrity Big Brother bosses of “bullying” after Coleen Nolan broke down in tears over being branded “fake”.

In last night’s episode viewers were asked to choose the three housemates they believed to be the most untrustworthy and they picked Nolan, Speidi and Jasmine Waltz.

Nolan was comforted by Brandon Block and James Jordan over the decision as she broke down.

Kay Adams said the footage ‘broke her heart’ and criticised show bosses for pushing housemates “to the edge”.

Speaking on Loose Women she said: “Let’s be honest this isn’t Celebrity Big Brother it’s Celebrity Big Bully. It’s designed to make people unravel.

“Everything that they do, the poking and testing, is to make people break down and they’re doing it with Coleen.”

She continued: “Coleen’s not in a great place right now and we’re all sitting here watching a friend of ours be pushed to the edge. It feels horrible. It’s bullying.”

Ruth Langsford agreed that it made for a “hard watch”, but explained that Nolan had “voluntarily” entered into the house. Adams said: “I don’t think that justifies it.”

Nolan was also seen crying over Calum Best after she unwittingly offended him by joking that he's a “one night stand” kind of man.

Fighting back tears she told Big Brother: “I’ve upset Calum and that wasn’t my intention because he’s seriously just the loveliest guy.

“It’s just hard because Calum doesn’t really get annoyed at anyone.”

Best fumed over Nolan's remark in the Diary Room saying: “I've worked my a** off to change a reputation that I was stuck with. I'm not that dude. For someone to f****** call me out like that it f****** p***** me off.”

Celebrity Big Brother is on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm.
