Ashley James was reduced to tears on Celebrity Big Brother after a chaotic fallout with Ann Widdecombe and Amanda Barrie.
The 30-year-old came to verbal blows with Ann during a debate task, where housemates were given for and against cards to discuss and put forward arguments on certain issues.
The issue of whether ‘page 3 is a British institution’ arose, which prompted Ashley to say: ‘I think Jess should speak for because she’s been a model on page 3.’
Ann however hit back at Ashley, saying: ‘You’ve spoken about three times!’
‘Ann, not me,’ Ashley replied. ‘I said Jess. I’m not speaking, I said Jess. So why did you say me?’
‘Because you’re trying to impose all the time,’ Ann replied.

After a heated argument in the bedroom, Ashley was later seen teary-eyed outside with Courtney Act, Daniel O’Reilly, Jonny Mitchell and Andrew Brady discussing the incident.
Ashley said: ‘I feel like Ann and Amanda are constantly horrible. There is not a clash of ages because I’m kind and I’m nice, and every time Amanda comes near me she’s rude.’
‘Maybe I didn’t shut up but I was very passionate that Jess should be the person to speak about Page 3 because she’s the only person in the room that has done Page 3, so maybe I should have shut up and let Jess fight her own corner.
‘Why are you both constantly trying to push me? Because I’m a woman and I’m sensitive, and don’t tell me to pipe down when all I’m trying to do is empower Jess.’
Ann however had a more bizarre rant in the bedroom to Amanda, saying how everyone was ‘drunk as owls’.
What’s the point in having a debate under those circumstances,’ Ann said.
‘Ashley, I’m sick of her picking a bone with everybody. She’s picked it with Rachel, she’s picked it with Jonny, she’s picking it with me.
‘Everybody drunk as owls.’
Celebrity Big Brother continues on Channel 5 at 9pm.
