Nicola McLean has spoken out about how she disagrees with the national health campaign 'Dry January'

When it gets to January, most of us like to kick-start our year with a bit of a health kick after a long season of overindulgence. And if it's the booze that you want to kick to the curb, then you'll more than likely be participating on 'Dry January' - a national campaign which sees participants give up alcohol for the whole of January.

However, ex-Celebrity Big Brother star Nicola McLean appeared on *Good Morning Britain *earlier today to slate the national campaign and insist that she wouldn't be participating - and some of her fans are not happy.

The 36-year-old said during her debate with author Helen Croydon; "I will absolutely not be brought into this hashtag Dry January.

I'm going to have the wettest January - and it's going to be so much fun!".

But it didn't take long for fans to respond to Nicola's controversial opinion of the campaign. One tweeted "pot kettle AA is a lifesaver . You have been in many states and embarrassed your family . Maybe you "should go to AA " like you said it ..please dont mock AA".

Nicola was quick to hit back at her angry fan, by responding with "My mums in AA I was saying if you have a problem go to AA".

Although, some fans did rush to Nicola's defence, with one writing "I actually agree with @ NicolaMcLean & @piersmorgan ...This Dry January is a load of rubbish... All the pubs, bars and restaurants will struggle to survive! They struggle as it is! Daft idea!".
