Angellica was 'secretly sacked' from The Martin Lewis Money Show back in 2023 after being a co-presenter on the show alongside Martin from 2017

'It has taken a long, long time. I think I've found myself again being here. Every cloud.'

Angellica was reported to have been 'secretly sacked' from The Martin Lewis Money Show back in 2023.

She was a co-presenter on the show alongside Martin from 2017, but when the show returned for series 13, she was missing.

Angellica was set to return to the show but was unceremoniously let go days before filming began.

The Sun reported at the time that producers claimed the axing was due to Angellica appearing on rival Channel 5's The Gadget Show, which has been rebranded to Shop Smart, Save Money, saying it was a conflict of interest.

However, insiders told the publication: 'Everyone is stunned by the move - no one saw it coming. Angellica has been an integral part of the show since 2017 so for her to be bumped off air with no warning is crazy.

'Staff have naturally been talking and find the whole thing really awkward and unfair, but Martin is trying to keep out of it as it wasn't up to him.

'Bosses say due to The Gadget Show's rebranding as Shop Smart, Save Money it's a clash of interest but in reality the decision had nothing to do with Angellica. Many staff feel at the very least bosses could have given her warning or an option as to which show she wanted to continue with.'

Angellica was the first of three celebrities to being kicked out on Triple Tuesday - followed by EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer (L) and TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise (R)

MailOnline has contacted representatives for ITV for comment. Representatives for Angellica Bell declined to comment when approached.

Angellica became the fourth housemate to leave the house this series during the latest dramatic episode. 

She was the first of three celebrities to being kicked out on Triple Tuesday - followed by TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise and EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer.

The final six, Chesney Hawkes, Chris Hughes, Danny Beard, Donna Preston, Jack P. Shepherd and JoJo Siwa have made it to the final.

But it was Angellica to be evicted first on the night after hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed over a million people have voted. 

Exiting the house, Angellica said she felt 'amazing' as she was greeted by cheers.

The TV presenter was left in shock after hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best told her two more housemates would soon follow her out the door.

Speaking to the hosts, Angellica got emotional as she watched her best bits and opened up about face-to-face nominations.

Angellica said: 'It's never nice picking out faults in people especially when you haven't spent much time with them. 

'I was a bit shocked by Patsy, she has been around a long time and she knows what she wants, whereas I let others have what they want. She always treated me like a child and not in a bad way but she wanted to look after me but I wanted to help as well.'
