AFTER a 20-year friendship, Nadia Sawalha and Kaye Adams are more like sisters than best pals.

And as you'd expect, spending a week locked up impersonating Gemma Collins had them squabbling like siblings.

In unaired scenes from Channel 4's The Circle, the Loose Women stars admit they had "huge rows" as they tried to fool celebrities into believing they were The GC.

Thankfully their bickering was like water off a duck's back to Kaye and Nadia - and they can't believe the footage has been left on the editing floor.

Nadia told The Sun: "We had the most hilarious time bickering about what and how Gemma would say something mainly.

"I'm hoping the viewers will see more of it over the next few episodes - brace yourselves!"

Speaking on Instagram Live to Kaye last night, Nadia revealed: "We had such bad rows.

"I can't believe they've cut them out, they've been very kind to us."

Last night saw Kaye and Nadia raise suspicions they were cat-fishing the other celebrities when they called Gemma's Towie co-star Amy Childs "Amy Chiles".

Nadia was adamant she was right - but Kaye kept arguing there was a 'd' in her surname.

Towie voiceover Denise Van Outen - who is playing the game as herself - confronted 'Gemma' over the mistake.

Furious Kaye stormed off when she realised she'd been right all along.

Double checking the spelling in Gemma's autobiography, Nadia admitted: "Oh yes, it is Amy Childs. We should have checked that."

Adding on Instagram Live last night, Nadia said: "We had such an awful row about that.

"I'm surprised they didn't show it.

"Kaye, you berated me about it. You wouldn't stop going on about it for two days afterwards."

Ahead of filming The Circle, Nadia said she no worries about spending a week with her best friends.

"Most years we go to Spain for a few days, and all we do is talk 24/7," she said.

"We usually have about five or six hours sleep, because we're talking all the time, so I have no doubt we'll be fine.

"We do bicker. We are a bit like two old ladies sometimes. It's always all her fault, by the way. But I'm not worried about that. That’s the great part of it, hanging out with Kaye."

Kaye added: "We just talk drivel, and we talk from morning til night. It's a fabulous ability to do that.

"We're also quite good at being in the same space and not having to talk to each other as well, so, yeah, it's not something I worry about, funny enough, and I would with most other people in life.

"I don't particularly with Nadia. We'll be playing Charades endlessly. She loves a parlour game, does Nadia."

Revealing why they chose reality diva Gemma as their online identity for The Circle in a Stand Up To Cancer celebrity special, Kaye said:

"The funny thing is, we both thought of her separately at exactly the same time. I mean, she's a hugely popular person.

"I think even people that hate her, love her. Even when she behaves outrageously, it's funny.

"How she gets away with the diva-esque persona, I'll never know. It’s going to be a challenge!"

The Celebrity Circle for Stand Up To Cancer continues tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.
