The adult actress claims she is blocked from appearing on the CBB show to explain her shock departure to viewers.

AceShowbiz - Stormy Daniels has accused "Celebrity Big Brother" U.K. chiefs of banning her from the show's live launch after a backstage dispute.
The adult actress, who has alleged she had an affair with U.S. President Donald Trump in 2006, was set to be the main attraction on the British reality show, but was a no-show when proceedings got underway last night (August 16).
On Friday, the 39-year-old attributed her absence to a dispute with the show's bosses - a row she planned to explain in a surprise appearance on U.K chat show "Loose Women" - but she then pulled out of the interview, citing legal reasons.
"Loose Women" panellist and journalist Jane Moore chatted to Stormy backstage and told viewers that the porn star claimed she told producers her plan to return to America after the launch was due to concerns over custody arrangements for her seven-year-old daughter, Caiden.

According to Jane, Stormy claimed she offered to appear on CBB's launch show to explain her shock departure to viewers - but alleged she was blocked from doing so at the last minute, and that two plane tickets had been obtained for her to leave the U.K. on Friday morning.
Jane claimed Stormy is "very angry" as she planned to donate her fee, originally reported to be $950,000 (£750,000) for a full stint, to charity. The broadcaster also said that during her chat Stormy told her reports she had demanded an increase in her fee were "complete rubbish".
In a statement to WENN, her lawyer Michael J. Avenatti confirmed the backstage row took place, and added: "They insisted she conduct herself in a certain way - they attempted to control her and produce a certain result, which she did not feel comfortable with."
Chiefs at CBB's U.K. network Channel 5 contacted Loose Women's producers to categorically deny the claims Stormy aired on the show.
