Narinder Kaur has openly admitted that she entered the Big Brother house because she had a burning desire to be famous.
But since reaching her desired 'celebrity status' with her appearance on the second series of the reality TV show in 2001, Ms Kaur has often sparked controversy with her unfiltered rants.
On Remembrance Sunday, she provoked an angry response from royal fans after saying Kate Middleton has 'aged so much' as the Princess of Wales returned to royal duties following her battle with cancer.
Now an outspoken TV panellist on shows including Good Morning Britain, GB News and Loose Women, this was not the first time Ms Kaur has ignited fury from viewers.
The 51-year-old, who was the first ever British Indian contestant on Big Brother, once described the late Queen Elizabeth as 'the Queen of Crime', claimed the St George's Cross is associated with 'bigotry, fascism and racism' and called Kate 'stiff, dull and unrelatable'.
On Sunday, her stance on the Royal Family was made obvious once again as she attacked Kate over her appearance at the Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph.
Sharing a photo of the Princess of Wales, Ms Kaur wrote on X: 'Genuine question - why has Kate aged so much? Isn't she only 42? Is she a smoker? It's the only explanation.'

Ms Kaur, a media commentator, later shared a video in which she admitted the tweet was 'stupid'
Ms Kaur's tweet provoked a storm of outrage, with other X users calling the comment 'dreadful' and 'disgusting'.
At first she doubled down, replying to a tweet noting that Kate had been through cancer treatment by saying: 'My brother had cancer… he didn't age like that.'

The TV personality has since shared a video in which she admitted the tweet was 'stupid' before hitting out at trolls who had sent her 'sexual, racist [and] violent abuse'.
She said: 'I thought I'd do a quick video instead of tweet after tweet, because it becomes pretty ridiculous - as if it wasn't ridiculous enough already.
'I put out a stupid tweet. That wasn't my intention, my intention was not to be malicious or nasty or anything.
'I'm not like that, anybody who knows me. It was stupid to ask about the ageing. I've admitted that, I've put my hands up and apologised if it caused offence.
'The only people who were offended though, because many people on Twitter and social media have asked exactly what I've asked but did not receive the sexual, racial, violent abuse that I did from accounts with EDL flags, Union Jacks, disgusting abuse.'
Ms Kaur said her brother 'went through brutal treatment of chemo' when he was suffering from cancer before his death and claimed she wouldn't have made remarks about Kate's appearance with regard to her cancer diagnosis.

In the same video, Ms Kaur went on to outrageously accuse Kate of having 'a lot of privilege' for not having to work while she received treatment for cancer.
And, claiming that a lot of the comments she had received in response to her original tweet were about Meghan Markle, she added: 'What's Meghan got to do with it?'

GMB panellist Narinder Kaur faces furious backlash for saying Kate Middleton has 'aged so much'
Ms Kaur has previously been very supportive of Meghan, even claiming that her and Prince Harry were pushed out by the Royal Family who were 'jealous'.
In a heated GB News debate with Nigel Farage about Harry's decision to leave the UK for America, she said last January: 'Shall I tell you while he walked away? Because it took marrying a biracial woman to realise how racist the institution he is?'
She added: 'Meghan and Harry were so popular, and I think it was jealousy.
'And King Charles the cruel, why hasn't he spoken to his son? Why hasn't he protected his son? Well, actually why didn't they come out?'
Farage replied: 'More relevantly? Why hasn't he taken his son's title away? Harry and Meghan's popularity in this country has gone from stratospherically high to very, very low.'
But Ms Kaur continued to criticise the monarchy for the way in which they dealt with 'racism' towards Meghan, responding: 'This institution, the monarchy, needs to speak out against racism, and they didn't.'
The TV commentator also attacked the royals when the nation came together to mark the one-year anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's death last year.
Ms Kaur claimed Nike's St George's cross makeover made her feel 'included' because the flag 'is associated with bigotry, fascism and racism'
But she backed Lily Allen when the singer said that having children 'ruined her career'
Sparking controversy again, she wrote: ‘The death of the Queen of Crime, Elizabeth II, at the age of 96, after almost seven decades of rule, has sparked reactions at various levels. However, the most significant response should be considered the eruption of anger and resentment caused by the lasting damage of British Rule.
‘The people from former and current British colonial countries regard Elizabeth II as the embodiment of colonialism and the harm inflicted by England upon their nations.

Big Brother star Narinder Kaur says Nike's St George's cross makeover makes her feel 'included' - as she condemns flag for association with 'racism'
‘They have not hesitated to express this sentiment following the news of her death.
‘Although Elizabeth II reigned during the post-colonial era of England, she still maintained a connection with the colonial past rooted in racism and violence against Asian and African colonies.
‘In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for the monarchy to confront.'
In another tweet, she wrote: ‘What good did she do for the poor of this country?! She's remembered for Paddington bear.'
More recently, in March this year, Ms Kaur also waded into the row over Nike's controversial decision to alter the St George's cross on the back of the England kit with rainbow colours.
While former England players slammed the decision, Ms Kaur claimed Nike's St George's cross makeover made her feel 'included' because the flag 'is associated with bigotry, fascism and racism'.
She told the Jeremy Vine Show at the time: 'I saw that flag and I felt included. I felt Nike's reason was to unite.
'Sadly the St George's flag has been hijacked, it is tarnished. And as far back as I can remember - 60s, 70s, 80s, it's been hijacked by far-right groups.
'All I see when I see the St George's flag is people draped in it doing the Nazi salute, being racist and hating Muslims. So there's nothing to be proud about when those kind of people are brandishing that flag and it's actually quite scary.
'I don't proud of this flag, I feel scared of the flag. That flag doesn't represent tolerance, it represents racism.'
Ms Kaur suggested 'tolerance' was a key national characteristic and claimed there was a need to 'reclaim' the St George's Cross.
'What we need is for the majority who are apparently proud of this flag to reclaim what Britain [sic] is about,' she said.
'Because at the moment, it's [associated] with bigotry, fascism and racism. And the majority aren't displaying it proudly because even they feel slightly ashamed by it.'
In May, Ms Kaur got into a spat with Laurence Fox, which ended in the actor posting an 'upskirting' photo of her.
Fox shared the image without her consent amid a spat about their political views. At the time, she thanked people for their support and said it was a 'police matter'.

Ms Kaur has also gone to war with JK Rowling over her gender-critical views
Ms Kaur, who came ninth on Big Brother in 2001, is extremely opinionated and often ends up in heated debates.
She backed Lily Allen when the singer said that having children 'ruined her career'.
Ms Kaur said: 'I want to give Lily Allen a pat on the back because she was completely honest. I think she triggered a lot of mums out there who believe this myth that you can have it all - you can't.'
The TV personality has also hit out at celebrities in the past, including JK Rowling over her gender-critical views.
Referring to a sarcastic Mother's Day tweet which said 'Happy Birthing Parent Day, she said: 'Of all the ways Rowling could have used her star status to make a difference in the world, she chose to pick on a miniscule per cent of a already very demonised group of people. So sad.'
Just last month, Ms Kaur made headlines again as she claimed that she was 'kicked, punched and verbally abused' by a passenger on a recent flight to India.
She said she was 'flung forward' by a woman as she slept after rowing over a reclined seat on the Air India flight.

Sharing the allegations on X, Ms Kaur wrote: 'Air rage is real and I had a terrible experience with a woman literally punching and kicking my seat forward as it was reclined (I was sleeping) whilst she was trying to eat behind me.
'She literally flung me forward and I didn't have my belt on. She proceeded to verbally abuse me. FYI she wasn't even drunk.
'Why is there a lack of clarity on who has the jurisdiction to penalise the offending passenger: the airline's country of operation, the country of departure or destination, or the passenger's country of citizenship?'
In another post, Narinder continued: 'I was sleeping..I didn't know food was being served at 4am..and she could have ASKED politely- kicking and punching my seat and verbally abusing me is not acceptable.'
'I didn't pay £1k to sit upright the entire flight..the man in front of me was fully reclined and I had PLENTY space..'
Ms Kaur starred on Big Brother in 2001 and was evicted on Day 29, with Brian Dowling going on to win the series.
Explaining her decision to go on the series, she previously admitted on her website: 'I knew ...I just KNEW, I felt it - I had to become famous. I was sat in a GP surgery and handing out leaflets tips and trick deposit gacor sensa138 knew I had to make this come true and that it was now or never. That I had to make my dreams come true. But how? That's where BB [Big Brother] came in ...I wasn't a huge fan of the first series but realized it was a way in.'
Since her stint in the house, she has gone onto present a show on London's Lyca Radio, and also published a tell-all book about her time in the house titled: Big Brother - The Inside Story in 2007.
