But in recent days, fans were left baffled by the clash between Trisha and her fellow contestant Patsy Palmer, who nominated each other in Monday night’s episode of the show.
In the Diary Room, Trisha explained her reasoning, saying they had clashed over their current home cities, because Patsy is from LA and she is from New York, which made them incompatible.
Fans were left baffled by the admission given that both stars were born and bred in London.
“My first nomination is Patsy. She, as a Brit, lived in LA. I’m from New York and LA people are kinda more all about the crystals and the vibes and all that,” Trisha said.
“New York people tend to be, generalisation, ‘Let’s get it done, let’s not mess about.’ As lovely and sweet as [Patsy] can be, maybe [she’s] just too fragile,” she continued.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Celebrity Big Brother star.

Why is Trisha Goddard taking part in Celebrity Big Brother?

In her opening video, Trisha explained that her cancer diagnosis was one of the driving forces for her taking part on Celebrity Big Brother.
She told cameras: “I’m going into the Big Brother house to show that you can’t be so scared of dying that you become frightened of living.”
Ahead of entering the house, she said: “My oncologist is my biggest cheerleader and is working with the Big Brother team. I’ve got a special therapist who’s happy to work with the medic on the show.
“My palliative care team – and when I say that word, everybody screams and runs away, but it’s symptom treatment – is working with the team here too.
“And then when it comes to my treatment, I had one infusion on Monday, so I’ve got to jump on a plane and go straight back to have the next one as soon as the show is over. I’ve got a bag full of meds that I normally have which will be with me in the house.”
