Speaking to New Idea, the opinionated beauty is the first to admit the champagne and wine provided on set certainly adds to the drama.

“It’s crazy in the house – it’s hard to explain to someone who isn’t there the emotions and what we all went through. But, drinking doesn’t help with the catfights,” Areeba explains.

She adds, “A lot of people get hyped up and get emotional, so it makes it worse.”

Areeba and Zoe-Clare went head-to-head in a war of words during the first cocktail party after the brunette beauty interrupted Zoe-Clare during her first-ever one-on-one time with Locky.

“To me, I didn’t think I would upset Zoe-Clare that much, but I didn’t apologise for it – it was what it was. Everybody interrupts everyone! Just calm down,” she says.

Areeba also claims she didn’t need the champagne to find the courage to be a ‘boss’ and do what she wanted!

“I’m confident, so I don’t need a drink to interrupt,” she adds. “But a drink does help and it hypes you up a bit. But I don’t need liquid courage to interrupt. If I want to, I’m going to, regardless of having a drink or not!”
