Kirstie Alley plans wall on celebrity TV

Former Cheers star Kirstie Alley is creating waves as the house president on Celebrity Big Brother.

Celebrity Big Brother house leader Kirstie Alley has left one of her housemates furious after announcing the contestants' first task was to "build a wall" to keep people out and protect green cards.

The move by Alley, a former Cheers star, sparked a rebuke from housemate reality TV star Natalie Nunn who declared: "I officially don't like the Big Brother house President."

Alley has been chosen to be president of the house and has said her first goal is to build a great, great wall around the house.

A clip shared ahead of Sunday night's episode shows Alley telling the housemates: "Housemates, as your President I take the security of the Big Brother house and protecting its borders from the outside world very seriously. It is my presidential order that we build a wall.

"We have just received a special intelligence that indicates several powerful outsiders are plotting to cross the Big Brother border and infiltrate the house in order to steal Big Brother's green cards."

She continued: "A great, great wall. The greatest wall the world has ever seen.

"A fail will be incurred every time an outsider is able to breach the wall and steal a green card. May this wall keep outsiders out and keep Big Brother's green cards safe."

But Nunn was clearly annoyed about the task, which echoed US President Donald Trump's controversial plans to erect a wall to separate Mexico and North America.

"I'm just not building the wall," she snapped.

"The President is disgusting. I officially don't like the Big Brother house President," she added.
