The generous Essex girl, 34, gifted US reality TV star Tiffany with a pair of Dolce & Gabbana heels – but now Gemma’s generosity has sparked #ShoeGate.

Following Tiffany’s meltdown when she believed fellow housemate David Gest had died – which you can see here – Gemma decided the 34-year-old did not deserve the nice shoes.

During a new task Big Brother played recordings of the housemates discussing each other, and the culprits had to step forward and explain their comments.

When Gemma saying, “I want my shoes back” was played, she cautiously admitted: “I said this about Tiffany.”

And the feisty American immediately sprung into action. She shouted: “Oh b*tch, you want your shoes back?”

Gemma, who we know and love for her ability to hold her own, hit back: “I’ve already taken them back.”

Tiffany then told The Only Way Is Essex star that she shouldn’t have given her the shoes in the first place, before adding scathingly: I didn’t even notice that you took them back because I don’t even give a f**k.”

After Tiffany’s dramatic reaction to David Bowie’s death, John Partridge told her the the other housemates were considering walking because they felt ‘threatened’ by her.

Seemingly unbothered, Tiffany told him: “Well that’s too bad!”

Now CBB viewers on Twitter have hit out at the other housemates for ‘isolating’ and ‘bullying’ her.
