Accordingly Daily MailIt took “very strategic planning” to get the two women into the reality show because they “had a falling out at the time” and “hate each other.”
“Julia was just starting out on TV and Denise felt she wasn’t grateful enough for the advice she gave her,” a source told the publication. “From day one there was a personality clash and (presenter) Frankie J Holden was really uncomfortable every week because they were trying to outdo each other.”
Denise has now spoken about the rumors for the first time and tells Yahoo Lifestyle after their elimination on Wednesday evening that they were “complete nonsense”.
“It’s total nonsense,” she claims. “I really don’t know where it comes from. It’s pointless, it’s not true and it casts such a negative shadow on things.”
“That’s why I don’t like today’s media. They want negativity. Let’s focus on the positive. We have Donald Trump and (Vladimir) Putin, we don’t need any more negativity.”
