Nadia Essex has been bringing the sass to Celebrity Coach Trip alongside TOWIE's Bobby Norris.

Viewers have been watching the pair clash with some of their fellow celebrity coachers, and the drama ultimately resulted in Nadia and Bobby being served a red card, therefore losing their spot on the show.

Speaking exclusively to Digital Spy, Nadia said that she believed they had been "robbed" of their place.

In last night's vote-off (January 21), it was Dancing on Ice's James Jordan and his wife Ola, Charlotte Crosby and boyfriend Josh Ritchie, and Lisa Maffia and Mutya Buena who decided to vote to send Nadia and Bobby home.

Earlier in the episode, James had announced that there was a "snake" on the coach. The tension seemed to stem from the results of the previous vote-off, which the former Strictly Come Dancing pro thought Nadia had influenced.

"Ultimately all I ever did was tell the truth... And if people want to say that makes me snakey I have no problem with that," she told us.

Nadia went on to say that she believed there had been a "vendetta" against her and Bobby.

Describing her whole experience as being "horrible", Nadia revealed that she's not really heard from any of her fellow cast members since the show ended.

"We had a WhatsApp group," she said. "I had to leave it."

Nadia claimed: "They were so mean to me... even when we came home, that I just had to... leave it. I was like, this is too bad for my mental health, it's too negative and toxic."

Dancing on Ice continues on Sunday (January 27) at 6pm on ITV, and Celebrity Coach Trip continues tonight (January 22) at 7.30pm on E4.
