Has Sam just confirmed his place?

BACK in the day, nobody knew who the civilian Big Brother housemates were, with the sparks truly flying once the series started.

But now, thanks to the wonder of Twitter and blabbermouth wannabes, the reality TV fights kick off before the cameras even start rolling.

Two fame-seekers rumoured to be entering the Big Brother: Timebomb house have ripped into each other on social media a week before the show starts.

NHS scrounger Sam Barton and YouTuber Brad The Lad Long are both rumoured to be joining the BB line-up, with Brad tweeting that he was flying to the UK and "moving house".

However, when Sam got wind of this, things got a bit feisty.

The Sutton Coldfield lad tweeted: "I know who this freak is, please don't tell me his in the UK?! #topt**t. [sic]"

Brad seemed to be in the mood for a spat post-flight, and swiftly replied: "Anything wrong with me being here? least I'll actually be benefiting the country rather than taking tax payers money #stillugly."

Basically confirming his BB role, Sam wrote back: "All I hope is that you will be spending your summer in a different house to me #cantbedealingwithkids."

After trading a few more insults including "Josie Cunningham wannabe" and "This is reality, not like EastEnders" – referring to the time Brad believed that the Lucy Beale murder was a true-life crime – things got even more heated between the pair.

Mr Barton tweeted: "Let's see who will be crying when them shades come clean of your face. You're right I know nothing about you #nobody."

To which Brad replied: "YOU HAVE WELL AND TRULY BEEN REPORTED TO THE COPS. DO NOT USE VIOLENCE ON ME TO MAKE MY FACE AS SCREWED UP AS YOURS."

Oh dear.

Even CBB alumni Michelle Visage took notice of the fight, tweeting: "Ohhhhh s***", with Sam attempting to convince her that he's "nice, really".

Let's just hope these boys don't end up handcuffed together á la Casey and Lee.
