Overview

• In a newly published interview, McClean said she and Welch have never made up because Welch has not apologised.
• The feud traces to Celebrity Big Brother in 2012, when Welch tried to pull down Karissa Shannon’s trousers and McClean objected, citing crossed boundaries of consent.
• Tensions intensified over public image arguments and a task that led McClean to destroy Welch’s letter from home, after which the pair stopped speaking.
• Welch previously told co-star Frankie Cocozza she had no apology, later saying she would try to salvage the relationship, yet no reconciliation has occurred.
• Recent coverage also noted a minor on-air phone mishap for Welch on Loose Women this month, but there has been no sign of renewed contact with McClean.
