Speaking about the controvery after leaving the CBB house, Katie exclusively told The Sun:  “It’s very real to me. So there you go, Christopher Biggins, you nasty, nasty person. It’s disrespectful to me, my ancestors and every family who have history tied to this dreadful place.”

The star recently revealed she is keen to start a family because she feels she’s in the “best shape.”

And she hasn’t ruled out a full-time move back to the UK in the future.

She said: "One of my goals is to open a gym like my one in America in the UK. It's very female friendly and has a boxing ring. Moving back to the UK isn't off the cards – who knows what will happen?"
