Big Brother is set for more drama as Farida Khalifa and Kerry Riches clash once again.

Tension has been bubbling between make-up artist Farida and NHS manager Kerry, with the pair making no secret of the fact they aren't getting along.

The Shopping Task - which is always highly charged - caused problems and there were rows about who was managing who, with Farida calling Kerry "a stirrer".

The housemates are at it again in the latest instalment of the ITV show and Farida went to unload in the Diary Room about Kerry getting promoted in the challenge.

“She might be proud that she’s been promoted because she’s even higher than the middle management and that title will make her feel extremely honoured," she sniped.

“However, I hope it’s full of tasks as in counting rather than working her mouth but working her mindset, her brain, her hands.”

There is more drama later, when Farida appears to suggest that she and Kerry are the same age when there is actually a decade between them - Farida is 50 and Kerry is 40.

Trouble flared as the pair were chatting to Olivia about cosmetic procedures.

Gesturing to Kerry, Farida said: “Our generation never did it. We weren’t aware.”

Baffled, Kerry then turned to Jenkin and said: “I’ve never felt so old. Our generation?”

So far, viewers have been gripped by what's been branded "Farida v Kerry".
