She's dished the dirt
Author: Emma DoddsPublished 12th Sep 2018 Last updated 13th Sep 2018
We've now heard from Ryan Thomas AND Roxanne Pallett - the two people at the centre of media storm 'Punchgate'. But now that Celebrity Big Brother 2018 is over, with the public crowning Ryan as the winner on Monday night's finale (10th Sept), other housemates are coming forward to reveal how it went down in the house.
One CBB 2018 housemate we can rely on to REALLY say it how it is, is Hollywood legend Kirstie Alley, who became beloved by the British public during her 26-day stint in the house for her kind nature and no-nonsense attitude.
CBB viewers saw how Kirstie and Ryan's friendship grew throughout their time in the house, and it's no surprise that they were the final two in the house.
So now that they're all out and beginning to settle back into normal life, Kirstie has appeared in an interview on This Morning, revealing how her experience of the show was not what she was expecting.
But it was her perspective of 'Punchgate' that viewers were really interested in - and she did NOT disappoint when talking to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, revealing that none of the housemates knew anything had happened for two whole days.
How many of these Celebrity Big Brother romances can you remember?

CBB's Kirstie Alley reveals how 'Punchgate' REALLY went down in the house
2 of 11
Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz/Casey Bachelor
The 2014 series of CBB brought with it one of the cringiest love-triangles to date, between Blue singer Lee Ryan, Jasmine Waltz and Casey Bachelor.
Lee started off by getting to know Casey, before declaring his 'love' for Jasmine. But when the America model was evicted, Lee jumped back into bed with Casey (leaving viewers fuming).
CBB bosses then created MASSIVE drama when they put Jasmine back into the house, resulting in a huge argument between the pair.
Despite this, Lee and Jasmine started a relationship and even appeared on the front of a magazine, but things didn't last long when Jasmine accused him of 'cheating'.

Stephanie Davis and Jeremy McConnell
Perhaps the most memorable CBB romance EVER!
Despite entering the house with a boyfriend (Sam Reece), Hollyoaks star Stephanie Davis took an instant liking to Jeremy McConnell, with the pair leaving the house as an official couple.
They endured one of the most on/off relationships in the showbiz land, before welcoming their son Caben-Albi George into the world in January 2017 (with Jez doing a paternity test on live TV).
Things later took a sour turn, with a number of legal proceedings between the pair. They have now split for good, with Stephanie set to return to Hollyoaks in the coming months.
Sarah Harding and Chad Johnson
Nobody saw a romance between former Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding and The Bachelorette's Chad Johnson coming in 2017.
But after Chad and Sarah racked up a cute friendship, things soon turned into a romance in the house, with the pair getting cosy on a number of occasions.
They remained together for a number of weeks after the show ended, but with Chad living in America and Sarah in the UK, things didn't work out.
Chantelle Houghton and Preston
Ordinary Boys singer Preston immediately fell for 'fake celebrity' Chantelle Houghton in 2006.
Just three months after leaving the CBB house, the pair announced their engagement, with the wedding taking place the following August.
However, in June 2007 (less than a year later) Chantelle and Preson got a divorce, but the pair have remained friends!
Stephen Bear and Chloe Khan
Despite dating Lillie Lexie Greg at the time, Bear didn't let that stop him getting cosy with Chloe Khan during the 2016 series, with their fellow housemates complaining at their raunchy behaviour.
Although Lillie entered the house to confront Bear, that didn't stop Chloe waiting for him when he left the house as champion.
Despite their whirlwind romance, things soon ended between the pair, with Bear now dating model Ellie O'Donnell.
Basshunter and Katia Ivanova
Katia actually had a boyfriend on the outside, but her head was turned when she met Basshunter, real name Jonas Erik Altberg.
Despite the pair enjoying some time together in the house, Katia ended things on the show, calling the DJ 'too clingy'.
Marnie Simpson and Lewis Bloor
Geordie Shore's Marnie Simpson and TOWIE's Lewis Bloor had an instant connection when they appeared on the 2016 series of CBB.
Things seemed to be going well for the couple when they left the house, with the pair even moving in together. But it all ended in tears when it was revealed that Lewis had cheated on Marnie twice!
Megan McKenna and Scotty T
Despite Stephanie and Jeremy's relationship taking up more or less the whole series in 2016, TOWIE's Megan McKenna and Geordie Shore's Scotty T also got VERY cosy.
The reality pair enjoyed a number of steamy kisses in the house, but things didn't go to plan on the outside, with Scotty T blaming distance as the reason for their split.
Kerry Katona and Lucien Laviscount
Another CBB romance NOBODY saw coming was between Kerry Katona and former Waterloo Road star Lucien Laviscount in 2011.
Kerry and Lucien seemed very loved-up in the house, sharing a number of cuddles and kisses, but things didn't work out due to their 11-year age difference on the outside world.
Edele Lynch and George Gilbey
After originally trying it on with The Hills star Stephanie Pratt, Gogglebox's George Gilbey ended up in a relationship with B*Witched singer Edele Lynch.
The pair even ended up going on a caravan holiday together, but things quickly ended and George now has a child with another woman.
Lee Ryan and Jasmine Waltz/Casey Bachelor
The 2014 series of CBB brought with it one of the cringiest love-triangles to date, between Blue singer Lee Ryan, Jasmine Waltz and Casey Bachelor.

Despite this, Lee and Jasmine started a relationship and even appeared on the front of a magazine, but things didn't last long when Jasmine accused him of 'cheating'.
She admitted, "The thing with Roxanne was, it was 48 hours before anyone knew. I certainly didn’t know for 48 hours. When I found out what her actual accusation was, I realised that it was a career-destroyer and it became serious business.
"My only advice to Ryan was get to the producers. At that time, I heard she’d gone to the producers and to her manager."
Kirstie was also shown the footage of the 'punch' for the first time, and couldn't believe what she'd seen, spluttering, "'That was it?! We were all jacking around like that. That looks like he didn’t even make contact."
She continued, "The thing that disturbed me the most is that when I talked to her, she said 'ouch' and she said he didn't apologise, and you can see that he did."
Ryan gave his first TV interview since leaving the house earlier today, appearing in an interview on Jeremy Vine's show. Having been shown some footage for the first time, Ryan fought to hold back the tears, and revealed that he would forgive Roxanne "if that's what she wanted," but was not interested in meeting up with her.
