COVENTRY MESSAGE BOARD

It all kicked off on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side on Tuesday night (September 22), as the show was taken off air by Channel 5 after a heated incident on set caused panelist Vicki Michelle to go to hospital with injuries.

Following the double eviction of Jenna Jameson and Janice Dickinson, Bit On The Side guests Farrah Abraham and Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace went at it after presenter Rylan Clark asked Aisleyne whether she missed watching Farrah in the house.

Aisleyne gave a definitive no to Rylan and told US star Farrah: "You've got your cheque, get on the plane and f**k off. No-one likes you here."

Farrah fired back with the suggestion that Aisleyne wasn't "qualified" to comment as she wasn't asked to join the celebrity version of Big Brother.

Both Jenna and Janice later joined the Bit On The Side panel, but that didn't distract Farrah from calling Aisleyne a "hag" and telling her to "be quiet".

Then, the show, which was on a time delay, cut from the studio row to footage of the Big Brother eye.

Bit On The Side eventually returned, with Rylan explaining that the celebrity panel had been removed due to an "incident".

The programme continued with only the audience, before being taken off air 10 minutes earlier than scheduled. It was replaced with a brief live feed from the house.

Big Brother 7 contestant Aisleyne later tweeted from home to say that she would "set the record straight" after a night's sleep.

Panellist and Allo Allo actress Vicki Michelle was taken to hospital after being caught in the crossfire while the show was off air.

Michelle was allegedly hit with flying glass after her fellow panellists threw champagne at one another. She has since tweeted to say she was "bloody hurt" but has been discharged from hospital.

Channel 5 said in a statement: "Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side was interrupted this evening due to an incident on the set."

Hertfordshire Constabulary has opened an investigation, saying: "We received a report at 10.55pm on the evening of Tuesday, September 22 regarding an incident which is alleged to have occurred in the Elstree Studios in Borehamwood. The incident occurred a short time before the call.

"Officers are currently making inquiries to establish the exact circumstances of what happened and will release further details when appropriate."

Farrah Abraham's spokesperson claims she was "assaulted twice"

Farrah Abraham's spokesperson has claimed she was "assaulted twice" during last night's fracas on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side, and was seen by a medic after suffering injuries.

The former Celebrity Big Brother star - who was evicted from the house last Friday - traded nasty insults on the panel of the spin-off show with ex-Big Brother contestant Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, before it was suddenly taken off air ahead of an alleged fight between the pair.

Fellow panelist Vicki Michelle was caught in the crossfire and went to hospital, with unconfirmed reports that she was hit by flying glass.

Just before transmission was cut - the usually live programme experienced a slight time delay - it appeared as though Horgan-Wallace may have raised her glass and hurled its contents in Abraham's direction.

But now Abraham's rep has claimed that Allo Allo star Michelle wasn't the only celebrity guest who required medical attention.

A spokesperson told Metro: "We can confirm that Farrah was assaulted twice last night during Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side and was seen by a medic, having suffered injuries as a result of one of the assaults.

"At this point, we do not wish to comment any further than that."

It was also confirmed by Janice Dickinson's rep that the model threw a chair at Michelle in an attempt to prevent her from getting hurt further.

Celebrity Big Brother continues tonight (September 23) at 9pm on Channel 5.
