It feels like Celebrity Big Brother just started, and yet it's almost over. It's a show that delivers some of the most iconic moments in reality TV history and this series was no different. That was in part thanks to former children's presenter, Angellica Bell, who lifted the lid on some of the biggest moments of her career.

Here's everything you need to know about Angellica – including her infamous feud with Martin Lewis.

Who is Angellica Bell?

Angellica is a TV and radio presenter, best known for presenting CBBC between 2000 and 2006. She is also known for providing cover on The One Show and for co-presenting The Martin Lewis Money Show (a role she left in 2023 without much explanation). In 2017, Angellica won Celebrity MasterChef.

She started her career as a roving reporter on Channel 4's The Big Breakfast in the late 1990s. She has also presented programmes like The Saturday Show, Holiday Hitsquad, and Comic Relief Does Fame Academy.

What happened between Martin Lewis and Angellica Bell?

Angellica's suspicious exit from The Martin Lewis Money Show is something that came up during her time on Celebrity Big Brother. It was previously reported that she had been 'sacked with no warning' from the show – something many fans and viewers noticed and took issue with.

Speaking in the diary room she said, 'Before I came in here, I was a little bit scared. The press were asking if I’d talk about the Martin Lewis show and stuff. It took me a long time to get over that.'

She continued: 'I’m so grateful to all the audience that messaged me about it and also to other celebrities who contacted me and stuff.' Angellica described Celebrity Big Brother as 'the best thing' she’s done 'in a long time', adding that she feels as if she has 'found' herself again.

In a statement, ITV said: 'Angelica is not working on The Martin Lewis Money Show Live, however, the relationship with her remains amicable and we are working with her on other forthcoming programmes.'

Where does Angellica Bell work now?

Angellica is currently a co-host on the Hits Radio breakfast show six days a week and has a Saturday show on Magic Radio. She also hosts 'The NatWest Business Show' podcast and recently presented the RHS Chelsea Flower Show on BBC One.

Who is Angellica Bell's husband?

Angellica is married to her former BBC co-star Michael Underwood. They used to co-host the ITV show The Zone in 2010 and got married the same year. They have two children together.

Michael also used to be a children's TV presenter, working on CITV and CBBC shows.
