BIG Brother legend Grace Adams has taken a huge swipe at former show host Davina McCall.
The fiery reality TV star, who found fame in the programme’s 2006 season, hasn’t held back in her analysis of the veteran broadcaster, 57 – and insisted “she didn’t like me.”

Grace, 39, was best-known for her fiery outbursts and divisive opinions while inside the spy house – and it seems nothing has changed two decades on.
In a new chat, when asked about her views on Big Brother anchors gone by, Grace -who shares four kids with her partner and former co-star Mikey Dalton – ranted: “Davina was never really friendly to me.
“She was a Big Brother b***h!
“Even during my eviction interview, I could tell she didn’t like me.
“And I’ve never crossed paths with her again.”
Grace and Mikey starred on series seven of Big Brother, which also featured WAG Imogen Thomas, fashion designer Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace and tragic model Nikki Grahame.
Yet in the chat with Betway, she couldn’t have had higher praise for Davina’s c-host Dermot O’Leary.
Grace added: “Dermot, on the other hand, was lovely.
“The nicest, most genuine guy. I had to spend a week with him on Big Brother’s Little Brother after coming out of the house, and we had a great time.
“He even stopped his taxi on Regent’s Street once because he saw me.
“He was always so lovely to my mum, too.
“Rylan Clark is such a great guy also. I met him years ago – this was before X Factor, when he still had ginger hair. He told me he was a huge fan of my series, and despite all the success he’s achieved since, he’s remained so lovely.”
CONTROVERSIAL HOUSEMATE
Grace became one of the most talked-about housemates of the Noughties after her infamous eviction night when she hurled a glass of water over fellow housemate Susie Verrico.
The star, who denied being a bully in the house, was met with a chorus of boos from the live crowd.

Yet the former dance teacher insists she has no regrets over her reality show fame, saying the show changed her life forever — not least because it introduced her to now-husband Mikey Dalton, who she met in the house.
“Sometimes I think maybe I should’ve just been the nice girl – I probably would’ve lasted longer,” she admitted.
“But I wouldn’t have been able to keep that up. You’re watched 24/7, so it’s impossible to be someone you’re not.”
Speaking about the dramatic water-throwing moment that cemented her status as one of BB’s ultimate villains, Grace now says it was all part of the show’s over-the-top energy.
“Big Brother was like a panto – it was all theatrical,” she said.
“I would never have thrown a glass of water over someone in normal life, but it was such a strange environment. I was young too.”
Grace previously admitted she would be “horrified” if her kids followed in her reality TV footsteps.
