Here are the top 6 most explosive moments in reality TV history.
Kim Woodburn v Jamie O'Hara on Celebrity Big Brother
7
The 2017 series of Celebrity Big Brother is known for being one of the most drama-filled series due to the huge bust up between Kim Woodburn and Jamie O'Hara.
Kim was removed from the main house after labelling Jamie O'Hara an "adulterer" in a furious row.
The How Clean Is Your House star was forced to sleep in a spare bedroom by show bosses as Big Brother separated her from fellow housemates, including dad-of-three Jamie.
The footballer saw red after Kim called him an "adulterer".
After rowing with Nicola - who she branded 'a horrible girl' - Kim continued to take shots at the other housemates, and shrieked: "You're a two-faced bunch, chicken-livered s**ts.'
After Jamie tried to interject, she shut him down, and shouted: 'You're another one you chicken-livered bugger.'
Jamie then vented back: "Who the f**k are you talking to?
'You're a disgrace, you are nasty, you are vile."
Security then entered to break things up, but Kim couldn't resist a last shot at Jamie and shouted: 'You adulterer, that two-timed your wife and she's got three kids.
"These people, they put me through hell.'
Kim was then removed from the house for the night, and slept somewhere else, before returning the next day.
Bruce v Jayson on Coach Trip
7
Fans of Coach Trip will remember the epic moment which took place on one of the episodes of the game show.
The show aired on Channel 4 in 2005 and saw four to seven pairs of tourists undertaking a coach tour of Europe between twenty and fifty days, alongside tour guide Brendan Sheerin.
Every evening, each couple voted for the pair they least enjoyed travelling with, and the pair with the most votes received either a yellow or red card.
In one particular episode, an angry interchange took place between couples Tam & Jayson and Bruce & Jon.
Jayson is seen shouting over to Bruce, saying: 'You're such a party pooper.'
This angers Bruce, who then hits back: 'I don't really like you anyway, you're an evil, fat-bottom queen and a vile person.'
After the heated exchange took place, Bruce & Jon were forced to leave the show.
Speaking about the bizarre outbreak afterwards, Brendan said: 'This is Coach Trip!
"I know that we have disagreements along the way. But nothing as strong or as personal as this. It was like a volcanic eruption.
"Bruce got vitriolic about this, he got really, really nasty. He changed and went into a rage.
'Tam then jumped to the defence of Jayson, then Bruce thought he was going to take both of them on.
"It was a bloomin' nightmare. Everybody else got upset and worried.
'I really thought I was going to have my first ever fight."
Real Housewives of Cheshire dinner party showdown
7
The Real Housewives of Cheshire follows the lives of some of the wealthiest women in the area's 'Golden Triangle' - many of which have gobs to match the size of their bank balances.
Having run for 18 series, the show - and its stars - have seen their fair share of scandal.
During one particular dinner party exchange, in Season 6 of the show, Dawn Ward, wife of ex-Premier League footballer Ashley Ward, gets into a heated row with Tanya Bardsley.
She hits out at her and says: 'Listen you little chav, you're nothing but a phony yourself. Two-faced.'
She then tells her: 'Shut up Tanya, be quiet you silly girl.'
The row then escalates to include the other housewives, who then get into a fiery exchange with each other following the initial row.
Peter v Jane on Come Dine With Me
7
One of the most notable moments on Come Dine With Me happened during episode 1 of Season 37, titled "East Oxfordshire: All In One".
The episode was full of high tensions and disagreements between two contestants, Jane and Peter, which then ended in a heated argument and a notorious rant after the winner was announced.
Reading the results, Peter announces that he has come in fourth place, and, visibly annoyed, he says: 'You silly, silly people.'
He then goes on to share that Jane was the winner, saying: 'You won Jane, enjoy the money. I hope it makes you very happy.'
'Dear lord, what a sad little life, you ruined my night so you could have the money but I hope you now spend it on lessons on grace and decorum.'
'You have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.'
Peter's reaction became a hugely memorable moment on the show.
Edwina Curry v Kendra Wilkinson on I'm a Celebrity
7
With its tough trials and cramped conditions, tempers always flare on I'm A Celeb.
What started as an innocent conversation about philosophy quickly escalated into a heated argument, with many choice words being exchanged between the former Tory minister and Playboy model back in 2014.
Kendra, talking to her fellow campmates, claimed that "you should never live your life for anyone...EVER" - something which Edwina, 76, disagreed with, to put it mildly.
As the situation progressed and tempers flared, US personality Kendra lashed out: "Shut the f*** up and get the f*** out of our conversation."
She then branded Edwina a "heartless a*** politician".
Edwina, not backing down, hit back: "Kendra you can't dominate me, so don't even try."
Now 39, Kendra ended up having to be restrained by her fellow campmates.
Kady McDermott v Malia Arkian on Love Island
7
Love Island star Kady McDermott's explosive row with co-star Malia Arkian is one of the most shocking moments in the history of the reality show.
Kady appeared on the hit dating show, where she met now ex-boyfriend Scott Thomas and finished in third place.
The argument, which ended with Malia being removed from the villa, was only briefly aired and cut away before things became physical between the pair.
However, in 2019 Kady shared a video showing exactly what went down and revealed she had been punched in the face and left with a bleeding nose.
The row between the women began when Kady accidentally spilled her drink over Malia, causing tensions to erupt.
The newcomer, who had only arrived at the villa that day, leapt from her seat and questioned whether it had been done on purpose as she had been on a date with Scott, who Kady was coupled up with.
It was reported at the time that she had been shoved in an "altercation" and Love Island bosses responded by removing Malia from the show.
During the show, they aired the argument with the two screaming at each other but did not air any physical fighting.
Kady later claimed Malia punched her during the fracas and blood was drawn.

Liam Neeson remembers ‘brilliant' Barbara Taylor Bradford in memorial message

The 73-year-old reflected on his role in TV drama A Woman Of Substance, adapted from one of the author's most well-known books, in the note that was read out on his behalf. Taylor Bradford died at the age of 91 on November 24 last year following a short illness, 'and was surrounded by loved ones to the very end', a spokeswoman said at the time. Author Barbara Taylor Bradford poses for pictures after she received her honour from Queen Elizabeth II (Steve Parsons/PA) Actors, authors and other notable figures attended the service at St Bride's Church in Fleet Street, London, on Thursday. Neeson said in his message: 'In 1984, I had the great honour of playing Blackie O'Neill in the television adaptation of Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman Of Substance, and again in its sequel, Hold The Dream. 'It was a landmark moment — the first television drama series to reach more than 13.8 million viewers on Britain's Channel 4 — and something we were all incredibly proud of. 'But more than the numbers, it was Barbara's vision, her storytelling, and her fierce dedication to her characters that made the work so special. 'She was a force — elegant, brilliant and unstoppable — and I feel deeply privileged to have been part of bringing her words to life.' Liam Neeson starred in an adaptation of A Woman With Substance (Ian West/PA) Human rights lawyer Cherie Blair, wife of former prime minister Sir Tony Blair, was also in attendance and reflected on her friendship with the author in a speech. 'I can hardly believe it's been over 20 years since I first met Barbara in New York,' she said. 'Tony and I were attending an event while he was UK Prime Minister. 'Although I can't recall the specifics of the event, I vividly remember meeting Barbara and, of course, her beloved husband, Bob (Robert Bradford). 'Meeting her was such a thrill — not only because I had read her books but also because she was a favourite author of both my mum and grandma. 'Barbara and I instantly connected as Northern girls who had ventured far from our roots, yet never forgot where we came from. 'At the time of our first meeting, Tony had not read any of Barbara's books, but he was so struck by her intelligence, elegance, and charm that he subsequently watched the TV show and read the book. 'Barbara and I stayed in touch, regularly meeting when I was in New York or when she was in London. 'One memory I treasure is attending the Women of Substance Awards with her at the Dorchester in London in 2009. 'The awards were so typical of Barbara — her unwavering support for other women was truly inspiring. She even offered me invaluable advice when I was establishing my own foundation for women. 'Barbara seemed ageless. Whenever we met, she was always engaged, well-informed, feisty and, of course, impeccably dressed. 'She was the epitome of a woman of substance — wise, fun and endlessly inspiring. We will deeply miss her warmth, wisdom and friendship.' Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair and his wife Cherie Blair (Leon Neal/PA) The service began with the theme music from A Woman Of Substance and included an address from actress Jenny Seagrove, who played a young Emma Harte in the TV mini-series. In April it was announced that Vera actress Brenda Blethyn will lead a new Channel 4 adaptation of A Woman Of Substance, playing protagonist Emma. The book is a rags-to-riches tale set in the 1900s that follows the life of Yorkshire servant Emma who later heads up a business empire. Taylor Bradford was often labelled 'the grand dame of blockbusters', with her books selling more than 91 million copies and having been published in more than 40 languages and in 90 countries. Other TV adaptations of her books included ITV's Act Of Will starring Elizabeth Hurley and Victoria Tennant, and To Be The Best, a sequel to A Woman Of Substance with Lindsay Wagner and Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Shameless star made OBE says Prince of Wales joked about her playing Elizabeth I

Shameless star made OBE says Prince of Wales joked about her playing Elizabeth I Anne-Marie Duff said she and the Prince of Wales laughed about her previous role Anne-Marie Duff Shameless star Anne-Marie Duff said she and the Prince of Wales laughed about her previous role playing Elizabeth I as she was formally made an OBE. Ms Duff, 54, played Fiona Gallagher in Channel 4's Shameless TV show and won a best supporting actress Bafta for her role as Grace Williams in Apple TV's series Bad Sisters. ‌ The actor also performed as Elizabeth I in the 2005 to 2006 BBC dramatisation of the monarch's life, titled The Virgin Queen. ‌ Discussing that role led William to joke "this should all be old hat for you, or something" during Wednesday's ceremony at Windsor Castle, Ms Duff said. The actor spoke to the PA news agency inside the Berkshire royal residence after being formally made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to drama. Asked if the event had been as expected having played Elizabeth I, she said: "(Windsor Castle) is like a treasure chest, isn't it? Because every piece of every room is swollen with history and art and value, so it's very specific. Article continues below "To be in this environment where people do live and do sit down and have their dinner and all of those things – you know, when you're on location, you don't really have that feeling of something like that, but this is someone's home, which is just extraordinary to me." The Virgin Queen was not filmed at royal residences for security reasons, she said. Ms Duff lives in north London and has a son with her former husband and Shameless co-star James McAvoy. ‌ She said she and the Prince of Wales discussed balancing work and parenting and "how we're all kind of the same". Her next guaranteed job is not until 2026 and she said she cannot talk about other projects that may pop up before then. "There's so much nonsense now, you can't even read scripts now without NDAs (non-disclosure agreements)", she said. ‌ "The streamers are like old Hollywood studios, it's like that, it's so bonkers, so you don't get to sort of enjoy the prelude to things with people – you can't say, oh my god, yeah, I'm going to be doing (this). You have to keep everything on the down-low." She laughed as she said: "I would love to tell you, Your Royal Highness, but ... " "There are snipers everywhere, that's what it feels like, seriously, the walls have ears", she added. ‌ Ms Duff said a play would be the "juiciest" next project for her because she prefers the "communion with people" in theatre, as well as the immediacy and "being in charge of the chronology". She said she discussed her preference for the stage with William. She told PA: "If a light bulb blows, we still go on. It's all of that and the jeopardy of it – when things go wrong, you become so resourceful and having each other's back as a company." Article continues below Asked how she felt after being formally made an OBE, Ms Duff said: "Fabulous, really lucky. You never imagine that – I think especially for people who work in the arts – you never really have a sense of what you do as having a great deal of importance or being a contribution to anything. "You're just so busy working away. It feels extraordinary to be recognised."

Hollyoaks star sparks concern as she collapses in the supermarket with 'hero' staff rushing to her aid

Actress Tamara Wall sparked concern among fans when she collapsed in a supermarket. The Hollyoaks star, 47, took to Instagram on Wednesday to detail what happened and praised a 'hero' employee at the Morrisons Warrington store who rushed to her aid at the time of the incident. The Grace Black actress penned: 'Dear @morrisons I need you to know how amazing your staff in Warrington are!!' Sharing a snap post-incident with staff member Mark Abernethy, she added: 'This guy in particularly was my actual hero when I collapsed in their store, I cannot give enough thanks to all the staff for being so unbelievable lovely!' The photo showed Tamara appearing to be back in full health as she beamed in a selfie with Mark. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He then replied in the comments: 'It was my pleasure @tamarawall13 and I'm glad your ok.' [sic]. Fans also rushed to the comments to share their concern over the soap star, as they said: 'Hope you're okay now? Glad there was someone to help you.' 'Ahh I'm sorry to hear what happened to you in Morrisons. I hope you have made a full recovery and you are better now Tam :) Sending my best wishes.' 'Sending love and healing your way!' 'Hope you are OK xxx.' 'Hope your ok now!' 'Hope you are OK tamra take care feel better soon.' It comes after Tamara admitted she 'cried for three days' after being axed from the Channel 4 soap. In July 2023, she was left 'devastated' after soap bosses told her she would be leaving the role, confirming it wasn't her decision to go. At the time, viewers watched her character Grace, who was sent to prison for her role in a botched heist plan. But after the scenes aired, actress Tamara, 45, shared her heartbreak at leaving, telling OK! magazine: 'It's absolutely devastating. When I got told, I bawled my eyes out for three days, I was so upset – it's been the best time of my life.' Confirming her exit wasn't her choice, she went on: 'It wasn't my decision, but I understand. It's the name of the game, and Grace was going to get her comeuppance at some point. In the end, she probably deserved it. But I'm sure she'll find her way out eventually, she'll be back.' While Grace's departure was meant to be permanent at the time, Hollyoaks has since undergone leadership changes and a shift in direction - which has included bringing back familiar faces. Luckily for Tamara, the soap's new executive producer Hannah Cheers signed her back onto the cast list in 2024.
