Nicola McLean asks to leave CBB after feud with Kim Woodburn leaves her needing medical attention

Nicola was visited by a doctor in the house after her 
anxiety was 'triggered'

Nicola McLean wanted to quit Celebrity Big Brother 

after her toxic feud with Kim Woodburn took its toll.

The constant rows have "triggered" Nicola's anxiety 

and she was visited by a doctor in the house.

Show bosses encouraged Nicola to stay after she 

threatened to walk twice over the weekend.

“Nicola was shocked and hurt when Kim called her a

 “b***h*, it was completely uncalled for and it feels 

like Kim has been targeting her in the house ever since,

” a source told The ERIC GOSSIP.

“No one knows why Kim has chosen to pick this twisted 

and toxic feud, but it’s triggered Nicola’s anxiety and

 she’s had to see a doctor in the house.

"It all became too much this week and Nicola asked 

to leave the house twice.

"She was eventually persuaded to stay by producers

 and felt better after speaking with the doctor."

On tonight's episode, Nicola and Jessica Cunningham 

are the latest CBB housemates to break down in tears

 after being told they could hear from their children -

 but at a cost.

The brand new shopping task is a particularly cruel 

one: housemates have to sacrifice something special 

to them in order to win a luxury shopping budget for the house.

For Nicola and Jessica, it’s a particularly evil challenge

 as they're both desperately missing the young children 

they left behind in the outside world.

Nicola is mum to sons Rocky and Stryker, while Jessica 

is a mother to there daughters: Olive, Poppie and Hattie.

The women were told they could listen to video

 messages from their children, but it would be at the

 cost of the house’s luxury budget.

Making things worse, the videos had been set up to

play already, meaning Nicola and Jessica both saw their

children’s paused faces on the wall making the

challenge even greater.

Both women were in tears and visibly upset.

Other housemates included in this challenge were 

Spencer Pratt, who had a message from Made In

 Chelsea star sister Stephanie, and Jedward, who had

 a message from Hollywood actress pay Tara Reid.

They were all told they could watch the videos if they

 wanted but there were two things to consider:

1) Only the housemate who found their TV’s remote 

control quickest would get to watch the video.

2) It could mean losing out on a luxury shopping

 budget.

So mean.

We’ll have to wait until tonight’s who to find out what Nicola,

Jessica and the other housemates decided.
