Big Brother's final is fast approaching with just a few housemates left battling it out for the life-changing cash prize.

One person who ruffled some feathers in the house was 20-year-old Lily Benson, with her screeching outbursts and high energy levels. Her nose picking also raised some eyebrows, with some fans convinced she was 'acting up' for the cameras.

However following her shock exit on Friday night, October 8, a former Celebrity Big Brother icon has slammed the Chinese takeaway worker from Warrington as a "dirty horror" who has "no principles or decency".

Speaking to the Daily Record, hosted by WhichBingo, Kim said she was appalled by her actions on camera. She said: "She's only a young girl but lovey I can't stand it, picking her nose and all sorts.

"She has no principles, no scruples and no decency. She's totally for herself, she's a horror. I don't understand how she lasted so long. She's not a girl, she repulses me."

Kim continued: "She's dirty, she picks her nose, her clothes are filthy. She went to the bedroom the other day, not washed any washing so its stinking and picked up something and sniffed it to see what she could put on which stunk less.

"We have got to stop this. She's a dirty, dirty, dirty, young woman. She's got no honour whatsoever, she might laugh and play silly but she's no honour. She sneaked in and ate something [not for the first time] the other day as well and lost them all their food."

Concluding her thoughts, Kim noted: "Does it occur to her when she says and does all this, I mean she works in a food establishment?! If I walked in and saw her taking a tray of my food out I would say no please...

"She is young, but I have grown tired of it. She's dirty and horrible and I believe her mother said 'she's a work in progress' at 20? Mother stop, I can't deal with her and she cares about nobody but herself."

Lily's housemate Ali, who she grew very close to in the house, was left in tears on Friday night following the eviction when they were forced to say goodbye.

The psychiatrist, 35, confirmed the pair would be "friends for life" outside the ITV show. Kim however questioned the pair's relationship as she further gave her views.

She said: "I don't understand her connection at all with Lily. I'm sorry Lily is 20 years of age, she's a young woman and to quote her as she says 'I'm filthy' no I'm sorry, I can't get tickled by that.

"Ali is a very good looking lady. In many ways I like her, but the problem with her was she went in there as a psychologist. That's not her job in there, she wen't in as someone in the house. She's there as a contestant in a house trying to win £100,000. What she does for a living mention it, but it shouldn't be part of the house but I think she thought it would be."

Responding to backlash following her exit, Lily wrote on Instagram: "During my time in the house, I made sure to stay true to myself no matter what. It was really important to me to express my thoughts and feelings honestly, even when things got tough.

"I found that being authentic helped me build real connections with others, and it made the experience so much more meaningful. Staying true to myself not only kept me grounded but also reminded me that it’s okay to be who I am, and that’s something I’ll carry with me forever.To be the most nominated and saved till week 5 is a winner in my eyes."
