Nicola McLean and Kim Woodburn have clashed throughout Celebrity Big Brother - but could a truce be in sight now?

In scenes to air on Tuesday night, model Nicola makes a startling admission when she declares Kim is quite possibly the “funniest” person she’s ever met in her life.

It’s a huge U-Turn considering How Clean Is Your House star Kim once branded Nicola a “little b***h” and Nicola told Kim just last night that they would never be friends.

The mellowing in relations came after Nicola and Bianca Gascoigne were joking with Kim about having a future career as a sex hot line worker.

“You’d do really well on the sex line,” says Nicola.

“If television work doesn’t come in after this I’ll be on the bloody sex line,” jokes Kim, quipping: “Bend over, I’ll whip your bum with a lettuce leaf.”

When Kim walks away to the Diary Room, Nicola tells the other housemates she’s glad they’re finally seeing who she believes to be the real Kim.

“I think she’s probably the funniest person I’ve ever met,” adds Nicola.

That’s a HUGE turnaround considering the history between the two women on the show, and the amount of rows they’ve had.

But does Kim feel the same way?

The jury is still out on that as she tells Big Brother in the Diary Room she’s happy the public are now voting to win, because she feels the nominations have been “very fake” up until this point.

She then takes a swipe at Nicola, saying: “All the people in the gang, shouldn’t win because they stood together and obeyed Nicola…they’ve played a filthy game.”

This is such gorgeous closure if my Nicola does end up being evicted tonight
