She then watched as Wild, 34, threw the petrol bomb at David Brotton from just a few feet away.
It hit him squarely in the head.
Video showed the victim thrashing around on the ground, trying to put out flames engulfing his head.
Wild was also seen storming into the bar and hitting out at people before smashing up furniture and ransacking the till.
Three people were taken to hospital with injuries described as 'serious but not life-threatening'.
Glamour model Reed, who also appeared on X Factor, wept in court yesterday as she admitted encouraging or assisting arson.
She was given bail with a home curfew between 7pm and 5am.
Weeks after the attack she posed for bikini shots wearing the electronic tag used to monitor her.
Teesside crown court heard the horror had unfolded in Redcar, North Yorks, in February after two groups of men clashed.
One onlooker said: 'It was completely terrifying.'
Reed, of Eaglescliffe, Teesside, was in Big Brother in 2017.
Her barrister said she did not intend for anyone to be injured.
Wild, of Redcar, admitted causing grievous bodily harm with intent and aggravated burglary.
Lee Wild, 37, also of Redcar, admitted causing fear of violence.
All three will be sentenced in October.
