Iconic Big Brother star takes BRUTAL swipe at Davina McCall - proving she still holds a grudge 19 years on from stint on show
The fly-on-the-wall programme first launched in 2000 on Channel 4 with McCall, now 57, as host, kicking off a new era of television.
It ran on the station for a decade before it was axed in 2010, moving to Channel 5 the year later and remaining with the broadcaster until its demise in 2018.
However, in 2023 ITV rebooted the show, bringing back the legendary spy house for its 'contemporary' spin on the noughties hit.
But as Big Brother celebrates a whopping 25 years, Grace Adams-Short has taken a swipe at original host Davina, proving she is still holding a grudge 19 years later.
She took part in the seventh series all the way back in 2006, becoming one of the most talked about housemates of the year for her bold opinions and fiery clashes with other contestants.

During the live shows, the crowd regularly chanted 'get Grace out' as Davina presented the evictions from outside the TV abode.
When she was eventually given the boot by the public, Grace even through a glass of water over fellow housemate Susie Verrico.
Reflecting on dealing with Davina at the time and Big Brother's Little Brother host Dermot O'Leary, Grace bluntly said: 'Davina was never really friendly to me.
'Even during my eviction interview, I could tell she didn't like me. She was a Big Brother b***h! I've never seen her since.'
Grace added to Betway '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.'
Grace also praised former Big Brother host Rylan Clark, who she said has 'remained lovely' since she first met him before he found fame.
They tied the knot in October 2009, three years after meeting on the show, and welcomed their first child Georgina in 2012, followed by son Spencer in 2015, daughter Allegra Portia in 2018 and baby Atticus in 2022
During her stint in the house, Grace met and fell in love with Mikey Dalton and the pair have remained together ever since.

After Davina's departure from Big Brother, Brian Dowling - who won in 2002 and returned for Ultimate Big Brother in 2010 - took over as host.
He was replaced in 2013 by Emma Willis who remained as the main host of the programme until its axe in 2018.
AJ Odud and Will Best were announced as the new hosts for ITV's reboot, with the duo set to return in September for the latest civilian series.

Beloved ITV detective show slapped with 'trigger warning' for crime scenes in 'woke' move
ITV 's Inspector Morse has been slapped with a 'trigger warning' in a move that has been branded ' woke '. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online. The streaming giant also advises there are 'satanic images' in one episode of the drama. It then has a parental lock on the episode, titled Day of the Devil. Inspector Morse first aired from 1987 to 2000, with a total of eight series. Other episodes also feature a warning over crime and violence. The popular series now features a pre-warning for crime scenes throughout the show, which seems to have caused a stir with people online Speaking about the update, Senior MP Sir Alec Shelbrooke slammed: 'This is another example of soft-touch Britain seeping into everything. 'We're just going to be laughed at as a country if things like this continue, because nobody's prepared for the real world where there are no.' Daily Mail has contacted ITV for comment. In the past, it has said about general alerts: 'Programming that contains politically sensitive or distressing themes, content, or language has carried appropriate warnings since our launch.' Just a few weeks ago, Netflix bosses axed an iconic moment from Pride and Prejudice to avoid 'objectifying men'. The unforgettable scene of Mr Darcy - played by Colin Firth - emerging from a lake was all the rage in 1995. But show bosses have confirmed it will not resurface in the forthcoming version of the rom-com. According to reports, many fans will be disappointed as the famous BBC scene is said to have 'got millions of women hot under the collar'. A source told The Sun: 'It is also credited for sparking subsequent moments of male objectification on screen - likes Aidan Turner's famous topless scything scene in Poldark.' It's claimed that Netflix bosses 'don't want a repeat'. The saucy scene soon became one of the most favourite TV scenes, however it didn't actually feature in Jane Austen's original 1813 story. Arguably the most iconic wet shirt ever worn sold at auction for £25,000 - double its estimated sale price.
