Celebrity Big Brother's Bradley Riches was "oblivious" to Fern and Nikita issue
He admitted that things were very "uncomfortable" in the house at times.
It's been a long three weeks in the Celebrity Big Brother house and one thing that has continued throughout is an unspoken "beef" between Nikita Kuzmin and Fern Britton that audiences and housemates alike were unsure of.
The two finalists found themselves in an awkward situation at the beginning of the week when Fern asked how old Nikita was.
"When you're 66, you'll have exactly the same brain which is why you have to understand that I've still got a 26-year-old brain," Fern told the Strictly Come Dancing professional.
A bemused Nikita told Fern he was confused by her line of questioning, to which she explained that when Nikita complimented her top, he told her it was "in fashion" – something she said wasn't a surprise to her.
It wasn't just viewers and Nikita who were left confused by Fern's point; recent evictee Bradley Riches has admitted he was even more unaware about what was going on between the two.

Speaking to press including RadioTimes.com, Bradley admitted it was "quite an awkward situation" and said he wanted the world to "eat him up" during the confrontation.
"It was like it just came out of nowhere and luckily they obviously resolved it," he explained.
"It was a bit uncomfortable and I was so unaware that they weren't always seeing eye to eye. And that was the first time that I saw it and it was a bit, like, one of those weird moments. They've cleared the air and they're all great."
When further asked about stripy top gate, the Heartstopper actor explained that he was "so oblivious" that there was any bad blood between the housemates until Fern made the comment.
He added: "I haven't watched anything back so I don't know how it translated but it was just a bit awkward and it was a bit of miscommunication."
Thankfully, all is well between the two now and Bradley is looking forward to reuniting with his Celebrity Big Brother co-stars, especially Nikita, Colson Smith and David Potts.
"I feel like I have made friends for life," he shared.
"I feel like me, Colson, Nikita and David were very close [and] I've got a great friendship with all of them and I think that will carry on as well as everyone else."
As for plans he's got in the works following on from Big Brother, the actor is hoping that he and David can have their own podcast.
He added: "That's on our to-do list! We'd love to have a podcast together."
Celebrity Big Brother: Live Final airs tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
